Tips to remember as you age,

I can't find the page I read this on, but true, allow me to share, I'll paraphrase.

1. In your 30s, you are a super- hero, I have made , life.
2. 40's, Oops, my shoulder hurts, go to Doc.
3. 50s, singing 20 year old songs, to your children and grandchildren.
4.60s. You go to a party, with your mate, and think, "all theses younger people, are posers, can I go home and sleep?"
70s, my brain, is 10 years, ahead, of my body, I need a nap.

Such is life.

I was walking across the shop floor when suddenly my right knee hurt. I stopped and said "Oh my God, it's starting!"

Now at 71 with 10 major surgeries in the last 7 years I can confirm, as you age you age.

I was building boats, when I heard on the radio,
A plane has hit the World Trade Center,


We had to work out our shift.

If you don’t have a sense of humor and can’t laugh at yourself and the world - die young 😀

What a great statement! A counselor once told me,

Laugh at yourself first, before, you laugh at others.
