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!
And,
we DO understand
the meaning of patriotism, and remember those who have
fought
and died for our country
Just
look at the Seniors with tears in their eyes and pride in
their hearts, as they stand at attention, when the American
Flag passes by in a parade!
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.
MAY
GOD BLESS
America
AND MAY
AMERICA
CONTINUE
TO THANK GOD
!!
