Some Thursday Thoughts.........for us older folks.
March Madness. After an absolutely beautiful weekend sunning on the beach, a little rain must fall but I've been sitting here thinking....
1. Being a little older, I am very fortunate to have someone call and check on me every day. He is from India and is very concerned about my car warranty.
2. I thought about when I was 20 something, drinking beer, eating pizza and doing sketchy stuff just for fun..........THEN, in the blink of an eye, I'm over 60 (heck... let's be honest, I'm over 70!!!) drinking water, eating Kale and not doing ANYTHING sketchy since I've pulled a muscle putting on my socks!
3. I remember when I was a kid, I didn't need an Elf on the Shelf to motivate me to behave during Christmas time, I had a BELT on the shelf that motivated me to behave the entire year!
4. ....and I'm so old I can remember we actually HAD to win to get a trophy!
5. Today, some 8 year olds are getting IPhones. Heck I thought I won the lottery when my dad bought me a "cartridge" pen.
5. We all know mirrors don't lie...but, at my age, I'm just grateful that they don't laugh!
6. Everyone should really enjoy their 20's, 30's, and 40's because once you reach 50, that "check engine" light is going to come on.
6. I'm so old I can remember when paper bags were being blamed for the destruction of trees - and plastic bags were the solution!
7. I 'm also so old, I remember multiplication was called "times tables"
8. I have discovered that Dove Chocolate tastes way better than their soap.
9.. But, they say that every piece of chocolate you eat shortens your life by two minutes. I've done the math. Seems I died in 1537!
10. Who would've thought one day we might be smoking weed at a family gathering, but the illegal part would be the family gathering!
11. But they say we can have gatherings of up to 8 people without any issues; but I don't know 8 people without issues.
12. What do you think about this? We could train all Amazon delivery drivers to give the vaccine. The population would be immunized by Saturday. Friday, if you've got Prime.
13. As I'm tying to type this, I am imagining that auto correct is actually a tiny little elf inside the phone who is trying so hard to be helfpul..er. helpful, but is, in fact, quite drunk!
14.....and finally, remember, we are NOT aging, but ripening to perfection!
Enjoy your upcoming weekend. Spring is right around the corner and so is daylight savings time! What could be better!!!!
