Perks of Being Over 60

I thought I might change things up a bit and inject a little humor into “aging”.  Here are some things that have crossed my mind in the past few months that could be considered perks:

•  ·       Kidnappers are not interested in me.

• ·       People offer to carry things for me, and I accept.

• ·       In any hostage situation I’m pretty sure I would be released first.

• ·       I get a 20% discount at my local drug store on Tuesdays.

• ·       No one expects me to run…anywhere.

• ·       My kids call at 9pm and ask if they woke me.

• ·       My grand kids can fix any technology emergency I might have for free.

• ·       I don’t think my eyes can get much worse.

• ·       Things I buy now might not wear out.

• ·       I sing along with elevator music.

• ·       Speed limits no longer look like something to be challenged.

• ·       “Life time” warranties don’t seem all that compelling, so I can pass on the added expense.

• ·       I can take advantage of “happy hour” and eat dinner at 4pm.

• ·       There isn’t much left to learn the hard way.

• ·       I often overhear heated arguments about pension plans and health care.

• ·       I’ve quit trying to hold my stomach in regardless of who walks into the room.

• ·       My joints are more accurate at predicting the weather than meteorologists.

• ·       My secrets are safe with some of my friends because they won’t remember them.

• ·       I can continue to “work” for as long as the world will let me.

 Life is good!
