	OBSERVATIONS ON GETTING OLD 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......but your grandchildren are Perfect! ~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 .... Especially Golf. ~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?"... ??? ~ 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!! Love You, "OLD FRIEND!" It's Not What You Gather, But What You Scatter
