As
we get older we understand more and more that it is not about what we look like
nor what we own. It is all about the person we have become. Old age is when we
have stopped growing at both ends, and have begun to grow in the middle. Then we
realize that most of us never get enough exercise. Here are some inspiring
wisdom about aging inspired by the writings of an unknown writer.
By the time a
man is wise enough to watch his step, he’s too old to go anywhere. |
So
in His wisdom God decreed that seniors become forgetful so they would have to
search for their glasses, keys and other things thus doing more walking. And God
looked down and saw that it was good.
Then God saw there was another need. In His wisdom He made seniors lose
coordination so they would drop things requiring them to bend, reach and stretch.
And God looked down and saw that it was good.
Old age is
having a choice of two temptations and choosing the one that will
get you home earlier. |
Then God considered the function of bladders and decided seniors would have
additional calls of nature requiring more trips to the bathroom, thus providing
more exercise. God looked down and saw that it was good.
So if we find as we age, we are getting up and down more, remember it is God’s
will. It is all in our best interest even though we mumble under your breath.
Here are some facts to remember as we grow older:
*Death is the number 1 killer in the world. *Life is sexually transmitted. *
Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die. *Men have
two motivations: hunger and hanky panky, and they can't tell them apart. If you
see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich. *Give a person a fish and you feed
them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and he/she won't bother you for
weeks, months, maybe years. *Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday,
lying in the hospital, dying of nothing. *All of us could take a lesson from the
weather. It pays no attention to criticism. *In the 60's, people took acid to
make the world weird. Now the world is weird, and people take Prozac to make it
normal. *Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers. What we do today maybe a
burning issue tomorrow.
So don’t get all weird about getting older! Our age is merely the number of
years the world has been enjoying us!!

We are all
going to age and soften and mellow in transition, all of us. If
we are lucky. There are plenty of things to be anti about:
anti-discrimination, anti-drug, anti-oppression, ant-poverty and
anti-sickness. Aging is not one of them. We need to become
pro-aging and embrace the opportunities that aging provides.-Jame
