This is us!
Some cause happiness wherever they go, others whenever they go.........
Some senior citizens are being criticized for the present deficiencies of our modern world; real or imaginary, present or past, foreign or domestic.
We take responsibility for all our actions and omissions; we do not try to blame others for our past imperfections, ignorance or failures.
Our generation saved the World from Fascism, Communism, and Racism, while we raised the Standard of Living, Health Care, and Life Expectancy.
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 civility out of behavior,
The refinement out of language,
The dedication out of employment,
The prudence out of spending,
And, we DO understand the meaning of patriotism, and remember those who have fought and died for our country.
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; but I haven't made my skin look like wall paper or snake skin.
--My ears, nose, tongue, or naval haven't been pierced with metal rings.
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 although I know they lied to me about the "golden
years!"
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 still here.
