Here are some perks of reaching 50, being 60 …. and heading towards 70 and beyond!

01. Kidnappers are not very interested in you.
02. In a hostage situation you are likely to be released first.
03. No one expects you to run–anywhere.
04. People call at 9 pm and ask, did I wake you?
05. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
06. There is nothing left to learn the hard way.
07. Things you buy now won't wear out.
08. You can eat supper at 4pm. 
09. You can live without sex but not your glasses.
10. You get into heated arguments about pension plans.
11. You no longer think of speed limits as limiting.
12. You quit trying to hold your stomach in no matter who walks into the room.
13. You sing along with elevator music.
14. Your eyes won't get much worse.
15. Your investment in health insurance is finally beginning to pay off. 
16. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.
17. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.
18. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size. 
19. And you notice the list is all in Big Print for your convenience. 
20.You can't remember who sent you this stupid list.

As has happened before, this one came to me from a friend. It is all a matter of perspective of course. Feeling old is a state of mind. Age on the other hand, is an irreversible reality.

(Sorry, if some of you find this utterly juvenile although that may not be so bad when speaking of old age. Also, I had nothing weightier to post. A more serious article to follow)
