Getting Older & Having Fun

GETTING OLD: WHAT A GIFT!!!
The body may not be what it used to be: wrinkles, baggy eyes and sagging butt. But
As I've aged, I have become more kind to myself and less critical of myself; I have become my friend.
I have seen many friends leave this world before they were able to enjoy the great freedom that comes with growing old.
It’s nobody’s business if I choose to watch a movie or mess with my computer at 4:00 A.M. or sleep until noon.
I know that sometimes (more & more) I am forgetful; sometimes it is just a well as parts of our lives are forgotten, and I will eventually remember the important things.
My hair is gray, my face has wrinkles (many of them laugh wrinkles), and the older I get, the less I care what others think of me.
As you get older, it seems easier to be positive; I like being old: it has set me free;
I understand that I am not going to live forever, but that is ok because now I am free, I and like the person I have become. I will not waste time lamenting what could have been or worry about what is to come, and I will eat dessert every single day if I feel like it.
Thanks to Maryann of Oakland for the above.
I DON’T SPEAK ENGLISH!
A non-English speaking woman married a man in the US of A; She went to the butcher needing chicken legs and was unable to communicate with him until she thought to cluck like a chicken and raised her dress a little to show her legs. The butcher got the idea and wrapped up chicken legs for her.
A couple of days later, she needed chicken breasts. Again she clucked like a chicken and unbuttoned her blouse. The butcher got the idea, and she got the chicken breasts.
A couple of days later, she wanted some saugages, so she brought her husband with her.
You can again thank Maryann for that one; don’t blame me.
