THIS IS US!!!

 

Senior citizens are constantly being

criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary.  We know we take responsibility for all we have done and do not blame others.

 

HOWEVER, upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was     NOT   the 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     nativity     scene out of cities,

The     civility     out of behavior,

The     refinement     out of language,

The     dedication     out of employment,

The     prudence     out of spending,

The     ambition     out of achievement or

God     out of government and school.

 

 

And we certainly are     NOT     the ones who   eliminated   patience    and      tolerance   from personal relationships and interactions with others!!

 

And, we do understand the meaning of patriotism, and remember those who have fought and died for our country.

 

Just look at the Seniors with tears in their eyes and pride in their hearts as they stand     at attention with their hand over their hearts!

 

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.

 

 

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, but I would send it to many more too!

 

 

Spread the laughter -  Share the cheer

 

Let's be happy  - While we're here.

 

 

 

And,       MAY     GOD       BLESS     AMERICA

AND MAY       AMERICA     BLESS     GOD     !!

 

Go       Green     --     Recycle CONGRESS!!
