NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH

     The Kornerman liked this.......
     THIS IS US.........
     Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every  conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we  take full responsibility for all we have done and do not 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 learning out of education, the service out of patriotism, the civility out of behavior, the refinement out of language, the prudence out of spending and the ambition out of achievement.
     And, certainly, we are not those who eliminated patience and tolerance from personal relationships and interactions with others.
     And, we do understand the meaning of patriotism, and remember those who 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 children's pill 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 what 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.
     SPREAD THE LAUGHTER, SHARE THE JOY.
     LET'S BE HAPPY WHILE WE'RE HERE.
