From a dear friend who has passed – Don Lea

About Growing Older…

• First…  eventually you  will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
• Second… the older we  get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
• Third… some  people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know “why” I  look this way. I’ve traveled a long way and some of the roads weren’t paved.
• Fourth…  when you are  dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.
• Fifth…  you know you  are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.
• Sixth…  I don’t know  how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
• Seventh… one of  the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change  from being young.
• Eighth…  one  must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.
• Ninth…  being young is  beautiful, but being old is comfortable.
• Tenth…  long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it’s called golf.
• And finally…  if  you don’t learn to laugh at trouble, you won’t have anything to laugh at when  you are old.

The time is now….
