Lately, I've been receiving a spate of forwarded emails and most of them seem to have the same theme. Age, forgetfulness, body falling apart. Therefore I decided to post this to show that life as a 50+ has it's advantages.
The perks of being over 50, or reaching 60 and heading for 70......1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.
2. In a hostage situation,you are likely to be released first.
3. No one expects you to run -- anywhere.
4. People call at 9PM and ask,'Did I wake you?'
5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
7. Things you buy now won't wear out..
8. You can eat supper at 4 PM.
9. You can live without sex but not without your glasses.
11. You no longer think of keeping below speed limits as a challenge...
12. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room.
13. You sing along with elevator music.
14. Your eyes won't get much worse.
15 .Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.
16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.
17. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.
18. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to a manageable size.
19. You can't remember where you saw this list.
Just one more thing – never ever take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night…..
I'm sure a day will come when I think, "Gee, I don't want to be that age," but I'm just so darned grateful with every birthday I have to have another good year, I don't care what anyone says.
ReplyDeleteTo you I say Happy Birthday -- and savor every minute!

ReplyDeleteHi Jeanie I don't care what age I am either,I'd hate to be 20 again. I'm enjoying what each day brings.
ReplyDeleteAaron, the pace of life today ensures most people qualify for some of these,
