So I'm really freaking out about turning 50. I know ... some of you are saying "But preacher, you've often said 'Age is mind over matter, if you don't mind, it don't matter.'" I knew some of preaching would come back to haunt me. Well anyway, a friend here at Eastwood sent me something funny today that I laughed out loud as I read some of these things ... I hope you can laugh too!
Perks of reaching 50
1. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.
2. In a hostage situation, you are likely to be released first.
3. No one expects you to run ... anywhere.
4. People call at 9 PM (or 9 AM) and ask, 'Did I wake you?'
5. There's not much left to learn the hard way.
6. Things you buy now won't wear out.
7. You can eat supper at 4 PM
8. You can live without sex but not your glasses. (oh come on you know it's funny)
9. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.
10. You no longer think of speed limits as a challenge.
11. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room.
12. You can sing along with elevator music.
13. Your eyes won't get much worse.
14. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off.
15. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.
16. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.
17. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to a manageable size.
And the most important thing to remember as a 50 year old: Never, ever, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill, and a laxative on the same night!
So many posts on blogs (mine included so far) are serious. I think at times we need to lighten up and have a little fun. I hope maybe I brought a smile to your day.
His,
Tom

ReplyDeleteAnd trust me, 50 is survivable! I did it 13 years ago!!! :)
First of all, I've never thought of you as 50! But if it makes you feel any better, flipping out a bit about 30! LOL.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, in my family...you aren't allowed to not worry about letting your stomach hang out, dressing poorly, or not running..you must keep up with fashion, and you must eat after 5 PM and you must not wear anything vanilla scented...hah! We refer to these things as falling off the 'fashion runway!" I'm just saying!!!
