Perks of reaching 50 or being over 60 and heading towards 70!

01. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.

05. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
06. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
07. Things you buy now won't wear out.
08. You can eat supper at 4 PM.
09. You can live without sex but not your glasses.
10. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.
11. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
12. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room.
13. You sing along with elevator music.
14. Your eyes won't get much worse.
15. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.
16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.
17. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.
18. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.
19. You can't remember who sent you this list.
20. And you notice these are all in Big Print for your convenience.

And, remember, never, under any circumstances,take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night

At almost 64 I find the above list to be mostly true. I also find contentment more frequently and actually like my job. However it is a good thing that I have health insurance, I would hate to have to pay full price for all those meds!

Found myself chuckling at each 'observation' because they're all so very true.
