Observations on Growing Older --WPOV (Woman's Point of View)

From e-mail - thanks, M.C.

• Your kids are becoming you….and you don’t like them!
  ….but your grandchildren are perfect!
• Yellow becomes the big color…walls…hair…teeth!
• Going out is good…coming home is better!
• When people say you look “Great”…they add “for your age”!
• You forget names but it’s OK because other people forgot they even knew you.
• You ask your husband or friend how your outfit looks and they tell you the truth!
• The five pounds you wanted to lose is now 15 and you have a better chance of losing your keys than the 15 pounds.
• Your husband is counting on you to remember things you don’t remember.
• Your husband sleeps better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring then he does in bed. It’s called his “pre-sleep”
• Remember when your mother said “Wear clean underwear in case you GET in an accident”?…Now you bring clean underwear in case you HAVE an accident!
• You used to say, “I hope my kids GET married. Now I hope they STAY married!
• You miss the days when everything worked with just an “ON” and “OFF” switch.
• You read 100 pages into a book before you realize you’ve read it.
• Everybody whispers.
• Now that your husband has retired, you’d give anything if he’d find a job!
• But…. old is good in some things: …. old songs …. old movies....
  And best of all OLD FRIENDS!!!!!
