[My wife has joined me today in the ranks of “senior saints” at age 60. No,
don’t worry – it’s not another week of inane jokes. She just wanted to let
everyone know the PERKS that come from this age. And thanks to Joyce for
the list!]
1. Kidnappers are not interested in you.
2. In a hostage situation you are the one likely to be released first.
3. No one expects you to run–anywhere.
4. People call at 9 pm and ask, Did I wake you up?
5. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
6. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
7. Things you buy now won’t wear out.
8. You can eat dinner at 4 pm. (And cheaply, too)
9. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
10. You don’t try to hold your stomach in – no matter who walks into the
room.
11. You sing along with music in elevators and supermarkets.
12. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.
13. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the weather channel
forecast.
14. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can’t remember them
either.
15. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.
