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 was   NOT  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 the 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 many more too!
 
Spread the laughter

 
Share the cheer
  
Let's be happy
  
While we're here.
