Love it  -  so much truth in it!!

          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 wasNOT 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 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.


                            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, but I would send it to some of my 'senior' 
friends!! 

                      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!!
