ABOUT GROWING OLDER
First ~ Eventually you will reach a
point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
Second ~ The older we get, the fewer
things seem worth waiting in line for.
Third ~ Some people try to turn back
their odometers. Not me; I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've
traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.
Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied
and would like to go back to your youth, think of Algebra.
Fifth ~ You know you are getting old
when everything either dries up or leaks.
Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over
the hill without getting to the top.
Seventh ~ One of the many things no
one tells you about aging is that it's such a nice change from being young.
Eighth ~ One must wait until evening
to see how splendid the day has been.
Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful,
but being old is comfortable.
Tenth ~ Long ago, when men cursed
and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called
golf. {H/T Carole}
