Aging Gratefully
Posted August 27, 2007 3:42 PM
- Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman asked, "What do you think is the best thing about being 104?" She simply replied, "No peer pressure."
- The nice thing about being senile is you can hide your own Easter eggs.
- I've sure gotten old. I've had two by-pass surgeries, a hip replacement and new knees. Fought prostate cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine, take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. Have bouts with dementia. Have poor circulation -- hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92. Have lost all my friends.
Thank goodness I still have my Florida driver's license! - Dear God, grant me the senility
To forget the people I never liked anyway
The good fortune to run into the ones I do
And the eyesight to tell the difference.
