I'm a senior citizen and proud of it.

Some ofthe things I say make my kids laugh and I don't know why, and some of the things I say I can't believe I have actually said them out loud. ( Can't quite remember what now to be honest.)

Get up at 4.30 every morning to do a part time job and then look after my grandson a couple of days a week.

Have creeking knees and aches and pains but as JoyLouise's cousin says it's better than the alternative .

anyhoo must be away to my bed as I have to be up early for work.

Power to the oldies I say.

Too true. :-D

... Some cause happiness wherever they go, 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.
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, 
Also, we certainly are  NOT the ones who eliminated patience and tolerance from personal relationships, and interactions with others on a face to face basis!!
Yes, we DO understand the meaning of patriotism, and remember those who have 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 childproof 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 a thing 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; but I haven't made my skin look like wall paper or snake skin.
My ears, nose, tongue, or naval haven't been pieced with metal rings. 
I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps. 
  
Yes, I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN, and I think I am having the time of my life!  
Now if I could only remember who sent this to me, I wouldn't send it back to them. 
Or, maybe I should send it to all my friends anyway. 
They won't remember, even if they did send it. 
Spread the laughter   
Share the cheer   
Let's  be happy   
While we're here!
(Kindly remember NONE of us know how long this might be!)
