Thoughts on Aging

“Somebody once said that a person is old whenever the person is 10 years older than you are.  That is why when you are 15, someone who is 25 seems just about half dead.” –unknown
 Age is relative as is time.



A 90-year-old man checked into a posh hotel to celebrate his birthday.  As a surprise, some friend s sent a call girl to his room.  When the man answered his door, he saw before him a beautiful young woman.  “I have a present for you,” she said.
“Really?” replied the bewildered gent.
“I’m here to give you super sex,” she said in a whisper.
“Thanks,” he said thoughtfully.  “I’ll take the soup.”
 Sometimes you just have to laugh.  Go ahead.

Speech

  “To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.”     John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent.  Life teaches many lessons.  Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied.  Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.    

The Price of Misjudgment

“If a man does not judge himself, all things judge him, and all things become messengers of God.” – Nachman of Bratslav ”If I do not accept responsibility for the evil I do, the very earth will rise up to judge and condemn me. The stars, the trees in the wind will provide sentence…”   -Julius Lester
