Seasonal Humour

“Say goodbye to the stiff upper lip…
Tell calm, cool collected to take a hike. Whoop it up!
Laugh, scream, cry and holler! And when tons of stuff stuffs up
Your nose, blow it loud and blow it proud!
Show your heart and show some tears…  of joy and sorrow,

Making Sense Out of Aging 

I've sure gotten old!   

I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, 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 and can hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. 

Can't remember if I'm 89 or 98. 

Have lost all my friends BUT I still have my driver's license.

Always Remember
You don't stop laughing because you grow old. 
You grow old because you stop laughing!!!
