“Life” is a gift to you.
The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after you. Make it a
fantastic one.

Live it well! Enjoy today! Do
something fun! Be happy! Have a great day!

Remember:

·   it is health that is real wealth and not pieces
of gold and silver.

·   live happy in this year and every year!

Lastly, consider the following:

·   Today is the oldest you’ve ever been, yet the
youngest you’ll ever be so enjoy this day while it lasts.

·   your kids are becoming you…

·   going out is good. Coming home is better!

·   you forget names…. But it’s ok because other
people forgot they even knew you!!!

·   you realize you’re never going to be really good
at anything

·   the things you used to care to do, you no longer
care to do, but you really do care that you don’t care to do them anymore.

·   you Sleep better on a lounge chair with the tv
blaring than in bed. It’s called “pre-sleep”.

·    you miss the days when everything worked with
just an “on” and “off” switch..

·   you tend to use more 4 letter words …
“what?”…”when?”… “what?” . ???

·   now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it’s
not safe to wear it anywhere.

·   you notice everything they sell in stores is
“sleeveless”?!!!

·   what used to be freckles are now liver spots.

·   everybody whispers.

·   you have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet…. 2
of which you will never wear.

·   but old is good in some things: old songs, old
movies, and best of all, old friends!!

·   Stay well, “old friend!” send this on
to other “old friends!” and let them laugh in agreement!!!

                           ·    It’s not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life 

                                 you have lived
