Observations on Growing Older
~Your kids are becoming you...and you don't like them...but your grandchildren are perfect!~Going out is good.Coming home is better!~When people say you look "Great"...they add "for your age!"~When you needed the discount you paid full price.Now you get discounts on everything ...movies, hotels, flights, but you're too tired to use them.~You forget names ... but it's OKbecause other people forgotthey even knew you!!!~The 5 pounds you wanted to loseis now 15 and you have a better chanceof losing your keys than the 15 pounds.~You realize you're never goingto be really good at anything .... especially golf.~Your husband is counting on youto remember things you don't remember.~The things you used to care to do,you no longer care to do,but you really do care that youdon't care to do them anymore.~Your husband sleeps better on a lounge chairwith the TV blaring than he does in bed.It's called his "pre-sleep".~Remember when your mother said"Wear clean underwear in case you GET in an accident"?Now you bring clean underwear in case you HAVE an accident!~You used to say,"I hope my kids GET married ...Now, "I hope they STAY married!"~You miss the days when everything workedwith just an "ON" and "OFF" switch..~When GOOGLE, ipod, email, modem ...were unheard of, and a mouse was somethingthat made you climb on a table.~You used to use more 4 letter words ..."what?"..."when?" ???~Now that you can affordexpensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere.~Your husband has a night out with the guysbut he's home by 9:00 P.M. ...next week it will be 8:30 P.M.~You read 100 pages into a book before you realize you've read it.~Notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!!!~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.~Everybody whispers.
~Now that your husband has retired ...you'd give anything if he'd find a job!~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet ....2 of which you will never wear.~~~~But old is good in some things:old songsold moviesAnd best of all OLD FRIENDS!!Love you, "OLD FRIEND!"Send this on to other "Old Friends!" andlet them laugh in AGREEMENT!!!
