On Being 55

November 15, 2010


Some random thoughts on the beginning of my 56th year. I turned 55 on October 19th.

You can’t have a mid-life crisis at 55 unless you expect to live till you’re 110.

I’m getting used to “You look really good- for your age.”

I’m taking every senior citizen discount I can get!

I’m glad I still have all my own teeth.

Thank God for hair! Some people look really good bald. I’m not one of them.

If you are as young as you feel, I’m actually doing pretty well.

At my age, the one with the fewest prescription meds wins!

I can still buy my dream car- BMW- but not if I want to retire before 75. Keeping the old Ford.

Aging gracefully is the best revenge.

Grandchildren! ‘Nuff said.

Blessings to you all,

Jerald
