YES - I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN......UNDOUBTEDLY!!!

YES - I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN......UNDOUBTEDLY!!!

Yes, I am a SENIOR CITIZEN.!And I am feeling proud.!

Remember the Truth........

Some cause happiness wherever they go......while 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.

Yes....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 service out of patriotism.

The Golden Rule from rulers.

The civility out of behavior.

The refinement out of language.

The dedication out of employment.

The prudence out of spending.

And we certainly are NOT the ones who eliminated patience

and tolerance from personal relationships, and interactions with others on a face to face basis.

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. That too EX- IAF.....FACED THE POWDER TWICE.....IN 1965 & 1971 THROWN BY PAKS.

I am the life of the party . . .even if it lasts only until 8 p.m.

I am very good at opening childproof caps . . .. With a hammer.......&.....I am awake hours before my body allows me to get up.....&......You Know.....

I am smiling all the time, because...I can't hear a thing you are saying.

I am sure everything I can not find is in a safe secure place, somewhere.

I am wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that is just my left leg; but

I have not made my skin look like wall paper or snake skin.

My nose, tongue, or navel have not been pieced with metal rings......&.....I am beginning to realize that ageing is not for wimps.

Yes, I am a SENIOR CITIZEN, and I think I am having the time of my life to enjoy!!!

Now if I could only remember who sent this to me, I would not send it back to them. Or, may be I should send it to all my friends anyway.They too won't remember, even if they did send it....and my concluding words.......

Spread the laughter...... Share the cheer..... &....Let us be happy... While we are here.
