Hi ah,....
Oh ya.....
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 blame others.
HOWEVER, upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was
NOT
the 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!!
And, we do understand the meaning of patriotism, and remember those who
have fought and died for our country.
Does anyone under the age of 50 know the lyrics to the Star Spangled
Banner? or O Canada
Just look at the Seniors with tears in their eyes and pride in their
hearts as they stand at attention, on veterans day and our great country's
birthday .
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 usually
interested in going home before I get to where I am going.
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 very good at
telling stories; over and over and over and over...
I'm aware that
other people's grandchildren are not nearly as cute as mine.
I'm so cared for
--- long term care, eye care, private care, dental care.
I'm not really
grouchy,
I just don't like
traffic, waiting, crowds, lawyers, loud music, unruly kids, Jenny
Craig and
Toyota
commercials, barking dogs, politicians and a few other things I can't
seem to remember right now.
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 having
trouble remembering simple words like.......
I'm beginning to
realize that aging is not for wimps.
I'm sure they are
making adults much younger these days, and when did they let kids become
policemen?
I'm wondering, if
you're only as old as you feel, how could I be alive at 150?
And, how can my
kids be older than I feel sometimes?
I'm a walking
storeroom of facts..... I've just lost the key to the storeroom door.
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, but I
would send it to many more!
Now- Have I already sent this to you???????
If so, I'll try not to do it again
(for a while.)
Time for your
Dementia Test
