There is so much to complain about when you’re old. What is there to be thankful for?

Note: to save time, the following entries will begin with the words “You can” and end with the phrase “Within reason.”

1. Wear whatever you want.
2. Say whatever you want.
3. Eat whatever you want.
4. Sleep whenever you want.
5. Sleep wherever you want.
6. Make everyone wait for you.
7. Criticize what ever and who ever you want.
8. Shave, or not.
9. Get a haircut, or not.
10. Pretend you can’t hear anything you don’t want to hear.
11. Make many new friends in the medical services industry,

Wow. Until they’re listed this way, you don’t really know how lucky you are to be old.

There are lots more, but the real benefit of getting old is you can see the end of the road. If you’ve done the best you can with your life and done good things for others and yourself, the knowledge of the end is the greatest gift of all: you can appreciate every, single minute of the past, the present, and the future. So do it.

Amen..
