One of my members told me when I turned 60 that getting old ain't for weaklings. He gave me this list that someone had given his wife when she turned 60 several years before. I didn't realize then how much he told me would be realized in my own life experience. So these are some observations for those who are maturing:
For the Ladies:
-It's harder to tell navy from black.
-Everything old is new again, but if you wore it before, you're too old to wear it the second time around.
-Your kids are becoming you and you don't like them, but your grandchildren are perfect.
-Yellow becomes the big color...walls...hair...teeth.
-The last 2 outfits you wore had spots on them.
-You ask your husband or friend how your outfit looks and they tell you the truth.
-The 5 pounds you wanted to lose is now 25 and you have a better chance of losing your keys than the 25 pounds. -Your spouse is counting on you to remember things you don't remember.
-Your husband sleeps better in the recliner with the TV blaring than he does in bed. It's called his "pre-sleep."
-Your husband has a night out with the guys but he's home by 9:00 P.M... next week it will be 8:30 P.M.
-You notice everything they sell in stores is sleeveless.
-You don't have hair under your arms and very little on your legs but your chin needs to be plucked daily.
-What used to be freckles are now liver spots.
-Who wants to wear 3" heels anyway?
For the Gentlemen:
-Going out is good, but coming home is better.
-When the kids were growing up and you needed a discount you had to pay full price. Now you get discounts on everything. -You forget names, but it's OK because other people forget they even knew you.
-You used to say, "I hope my kids GET married. Now, "I hope they STAY married!"
-You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch.
-You use more 4 letter words: "What?" and "When?"
-You read 100 pages into a book before you realize you've read it already.
-You've never heard of most of the singers in the Top 40.
-It seems that everybody whispers.
