Yes this is us!! (with all due respect)

Senior citizens are constantly being

      criticized for every conceivable deficiency

of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take responsibility for all we have

done
and do not try to blame others.

HOWEVER, upon reflection, we would like

to point out that
it was NOT senior citizens who took:

The melody out of music,

The pride out of appearance,

The courtesy out of driving,

The romance out of love,

The commitment out of marriage,

The responsibility out of parenthood,

 

The togetherness out of the family,

The learning out of education,

 

The service out of patriotism,

The Golden Rule from rulers,

The nativity scene out of cities,

The civility out of behavior,

The refinement out of language,

The dedication out of employment,

The prudence out of spending,

The ambition out of achievement or

 

God out of government and school.

And we certainly are NOT the ones

who

eliminated patience and tolerance

from

personal relationships and interactions

with

others!!

YES, I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN!

 

I'm the life of the party..... Even if it lasts until 8 p.m.
I'm very good at opening childproof

caps.....

With a hammer.

I'm awake many hours before
my body allows me to get up.
I'm smiling all the time,
because I can't hear a thing you're

saying.

I'm sure everything I can't find is
in a safe secure place, somewhere.

I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy,
and that's just my left leg.

I'm beginning to realize that aging is not

for wimps.

Yes, I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN
and I think I am having the time of

my life!

Now if I could only remember who sent

this

to me, I wouldn't send it back to them.
Or, maybe I should send it to all my friends

anyway.
They won't remember, even if they did send it.

Spread the laughter

Share the cheer

Let's be happy

While we're here.

Thanks Norman
