Retirement Was A Wonderful Choice!
The trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off. ~Abe Lemons
I Am A Senior Citizen!
I am a senior citizen and damned proud of it! 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. BUT, 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 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 religion out of school, 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, or The ambition out of achievement, And we
certainly are NOT the ones who eliminated patience and tolerance from
personal relationships and interactions with others!!
Does anyone under the age of 50 know the lyrics to the Star Spangled
Banner? Just look at those Seniors with tears in their eyes and
pride in their hearts as they stand at attention with their hand over
their hearts!
