THE WISDOM OF MAXINE

My brother, who is even older than me, sent me this by email.  I never particularly appreciated Maxine, until this one.

Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take responsibility for all we   have done and do not try to blame others.


 

HOWEVER,   upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was   NOT   senior citizens who took:

The   melody   out of music,

The   pride   out of appearance,

The   courtesy   out of driving,

The   romance   out of love,

The   commitment   out of marriage,

The       responsibility   out of parenthood,

The   togetherness   out of the family,

The   learning   out of education,

The   service   out of patriotism,

The   Golden Rule   from rulers,

The   civility   out of behavior,

The       refinement   out of language,

The   dedication   out of employment,

The   prudence   out of spending,

The   ambition   out of achievement or

God out of government and school.

And we certainly are   NOT   the ones who
  eliminated patience   and   tolerance   from personal relationships and interactions with   others!   And, we   DO   understand the meaning of   patriotism, and remember those who have   fought and died for our country.  


 

Just look at the Seniors with tears in their eyes and pride in their hearts, as they stand at attention, as the Canadian/American Flag passes by in a parade!


 

YES, I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN!  

I'm the life of the party.....Even if it lasts until 8 p.m.

I'm very good at opening childproof caps..... w ith a hammer.   I'm awake many hours before   my body allows me to get up.


 

I'm smiling all the time,   because I can't hear a thing you're saying.

  I'm sure everything I can't find is   in a safe secure place, somewhere.    

I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy,   and that's just my left leg.       I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.


Yes, I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN and I think I am having the time of my life!  
Now if I could only remember who sent this to me, I wouldn't send it back to them.   Or, maybe I should send it to all my friends anyway.   They won't remember, even if they did send it.   Spread the laughter Share the cheer   let's       be happy   while we're here.  
MAY GOD BLESS   Canada/America

AND MAY   Canada/America CONTINUE TO THANK GOD   ! !

Go Green - Recycle politicians in   Ottawa/Washington.

Yes, social justice warriors, PC zealots and all other extremists, that is how I feel.

Right on Buzz.  We've just got to show all of those kids (defined as anybody under 60) that we too can party till the sun goes down.
