Senior citizens and laugher
_*A few good Senior Moments*_
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
An elderly gentleman......
Had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%. The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, 'Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.'
The gentleman replied, 'Oh, I haven't told my family yet..
I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!'
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says: 'Slim, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches and pains. I know you're about my age. How do you feel?'
Slim says, 'I feel just like a newborn baby.'
'Really!? Like a newborn baby!?'
'Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants.'
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen.
The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, 'Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great.. I would recommend it very highly.'
The other man said, 'What is the name of the restaurant?'
The first man thought and thought and finally said, 'What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love?
You know.... The one that's red and has thorns.'
'Do you mean a rose?'
'Yes, that's the one,' replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, 'Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?'
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, while working as a student nurse, I found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn't need my help to leave the hospital.
After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let me wheel him to the elevator.
On the way down I asked him if his wife was meeting him.
'I don't know,' he said. 'She's still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.'
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Couple in their nineties are both having problems remembering things. During a checkup, the doctor tells them that they're physically okay, but they might want to start writing things down to help them remember ..
Later that night, while watching TV, the old man gets up from his chair. 'Want anything while I'm in the kitchen?' he asks.
'Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?'
'Sure..'
'Don't you think you should write it down so you can remember it?' she asks.
'No, I can remember it.'
'Well, I'd like some strawberries on top, too. Maybe you should write it down, so as not to forget it?'
He says, 'I can remember that. You want a bowl of ice cream with strawberries.'
'I'd also like whipped cream. I'm certain you'll forget that, write it down?' she asks.
Irritated, he says, 'I don't need to write it down, I can remember it! Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream - I got it, for goodness sake!'
Then he toddles into the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, The old man returns from the kitchen and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs.. She stares at the plate for a moment.
'Where's my toast ?'
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy:
'So I hear you're getting married?'
'Yep!'
'Do I know her?'
'Nope!'
'This woman, is she good looking?'
'Not really.'
'Is she a good cook?'
'Naw, she can't cook too well.'
'Does she have lots of money?'
'Nope! Poor as a church mouse.'
'Why in the world do you want to marry her then?'
'Because she can still drive!'
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One more. . .!
A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself slowly, painfully, up onto a stool.. After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.
The waitress asked kindly, 'Crushed nuts?'
'No,' he replied, 'Arthritis.'
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
_Now, before you 'forget', send them on to some other folks you know who could use a good laugh !!_

AAADD
What is A.A.A.D.D. ? It is
Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. 😜
This is how it manifests:
I decide to water my garden.
As I turn on the hose in the driveway,
I look over at my car and decide it needs washing.
As I start toward the garage,
I notice mail on the porch table that
I brought up from the mail box earlier.
I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car.
I lay my car keys on the table,
put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table,
and notice that the can is full.
So, I decide to put the bills back
on the table and take out the garbage first.
But then I think,
since I'm going to be near the mailbox
when I take out the garbage anyway,
I may as well pay the bills first.
I take my check book off the table,
and see that there is only one check left.
My extra checks are in my desk in the study,
so I go inside the house to my desk where
I find the can of Coke I'd been drinking.
I'm going to look for my checks,
but first I need to push the Coke aside
so that I don't accidentally knock it over.
The Coke is getting warm,
and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.
As I head toward the kitchen with the Coke,
a vase of flowers on the counter
catches my eye--they need water.
I put the Coke on the counter and
discover my reading glasses that
I've been searching for all morning.
I decide I better put them back on my desk,
but first I'm going to water the flowers.
I set the glasses back down on the counter,
fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote.
Someone left it on the kitchen table.
I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV,
I'll be looking for the remote,
but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table,
so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs,
but first I'll water the flowers.
I pour some water in the flowers,
but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.
So, I set the remote back on the table,
get some towels and wipe up the spill.
Then, I head down the hall trying to
remember what I was planning to do.
At the end of the day:
the car isn't washed
the bills aren't paid
there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter
the flowers don't have enough water,
there is still only 1 check in my check book,
I can't find the remote,
I can't find my glasses,
and I don't remember what I did with the car keys.
Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today,
I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day,
and I'm really tired.
I realize this is a serious problem,
and I'll try to get some help for it,
but first I'll check my e-mail....
Do me a favor.
Forward this message to everyone you know,
because I don't remember who I've sent it to.
Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!!

Old age and life
ઘડપણનું છે સરસ નામ,
કોઈ કહે સન્યાસાશ્રમ
કોઈ કહે વાનપ્રસ્થાશ્રમ
પણ હું કહું આનંદાશ્રમ
ઘડપણમા આપણે કેવું રહેવું
ઘરમાં હોવ તો આશ્રમ જેવું
આશ્રમમાં હોવ તો ઘર જેવું
ક્યાંય ગુંચવાવું નહિ
જુની યાદો કાઢવી નહિ
"અમારા વખતે" બોલવું નહિ
અપમાન થાયતો જાણવું નહિ
ખાલી ખાલી લંબાણ કરવુંનહિ
સુખ ની ભટ્ટી જમાવતા રહેવું
બધાથી દોસ્તી જોડતા રહેવું
રાગ લોભ ને દૂર ભગાડવો
આનંદને હંમેશા અનુભવવો
ઘડપણ પણ તો સરસ હોય
લેન્સ ઇમ્પ્લાંટથી ચોખ્ખું દેખાય
ચોખટાંથી સહેલાઇથી ચવાય
કાનયંત્રથી સરસ સંભળાય
પાર્કમાં જઈને ફરી અવાય
મંદીરમાં જઈ ભજન ગવાય
ટી વી ની સિરિયલ જોવાય
છોકરાંઓ સામે ચૂપ રહેવું
પોતા પોતી સાથે રમતા રહેવું
પત્નિ સાથે લડતા જાવું
મિત્રોસાથે ગપ્પા મારતા જાવું
જામે તો ટૂરપર જાતાં રહેવું
પત્નિનો સામાન ઉપાડી લેવું
થાકો ત્યાંજ બેસી જાઓ
ગમેત્યારે જ્યુસ પી લેવો
લાયન / રોટરી -જૈન જાઞૃતી એટેન્ડ કરવું
સમય હોય તો ગાઈ લેવું
એકાંત માં નાચી લેવું
કોઈ જોઈ લે તો વ્યાયામ ગણાવુ
કંટાળો આવે તો સુઈ જાવું
જાગી જાઓ તો ફેસબુક જોવું, જોતા જોતા નસકોરા બોલાવો
ટોકે કોઈ તો વ્હાૅટ્સએપખોલવું
ઘરમાં એકલાં હોવ તો રસોડામાં જઈ દુધની મલાઈ ગાયબ કરો
છોકરાઓનો નાસ્તો ટેસ્ટ કરવો
મન થાય તો ખાંડ પણ ખાઓ
જુના જુના શર્ટ પહેરવા
થોડા વાળ સવારવા
અરિસાને બોગસ કહેવું
કોઈ ના હોય તો મોં બગાડવું
છોકરાનો મોબાઈલ ખોલવો
પાસવર્ડ હોય તો નાખી દેવો
ડબ્બો મોબાઈલ વાપરતા રહેવું
બંધ પડે તો પછાડતા રહેવું
મસ્ત જમાવવી સૂરની મહેફીલ
સરસ પડે જમવાની પંગત
સાથે જામે ગપ્પાંની રંગત
લુંટીએ જીવવાની ગમ્મત
સ્વાદ લેતા, દાદ દેતા
તૃપ્ત મનથી આનંદ લેતા
*ધીમે રહી પોતે નિકળી જવું*
*પાકેલા પાન જેવું ખરી જવું*
🌷🌷

મારી પાસે બે કરોડ હોત તો આવી નોકરી થોડો કરતો હોત !!!
આપણી પાસે પાંચ કરોડ હોય તો વ્યાજે મૂકી દઇએ અને પછી એમાંથી જ ઘર ચલાવીએ. !!
બસ, આ થોડા પૈસા કમાઇ લઇને પછી આપણે કામ નહીં કરવાનું-આરામ જ કરવાનો....
બાંસઠ વર્ષ થયા. ત્રીસ વર્ષ તો નોકરી કરી. હવે રિટાયરમેન્ટમાં કામ થોડું કરવાનું? આરામ જ કરવાનો...
આવું માનનારાઓ માટે આ તસવીર એક સંદેશો છે. આ એ માણસની તસ્વીર છે, જે આજે જ સિત્તોતેર વર્ષનો થયો છે.
લગભગ ગોડાઉન જેવો એક રૂમ. જેમાં આડેધડ લાઇટ્સ ખડકાયેલી છે. એક ખુરશી પડી છે. રેકોર્ડિંગનાં સાધનો આમતેમ વિખેરાયેલા છે. એક સાવ સાદા પલંગ પર સાવ સસ્તી ચાદર પાથરેલી છે અને એની પર એ માણસ ઊંઘી ગયો છે. એની બંધ આંખો પર હજુ ચશ્મા છે. જોડે ટિપોઇ પર એક પેન અને એક ફાઇલ ખુલ્લી છે. કામનાં થાકને કારણે એને ઊંઘ આવી ગઇ છે.
બિનસત્તાવાર રીતે આ માણસની સંપત્તિ ૨૦૬૭ કરોડ છે અને સત્તાવાર રીતે ઓછામાં ઓછી ૧,૦૦૦ કરોડ છે અને છતાં એ આજે પણ એટલું કામ કરે છે કે એને ઊંઘવા માટે ગોળી લેવાની જરૂર નથી પડતી.
ધારે તો આ માણસની સાત પેઢી માત્ર વ્યાજ પર સર્વાઇવ કરી શકે એમ છે અને છતાં 76 વર્ષની ઉંમરે હજી એણે રિટાયર થવાનો વિચાર નથી કર્યો.... *અને એટલે જ એ અમિતાભ બચ્ચન છે! ને એટલે જ એ મિલનીઅમ સ્ટાર છે!*
ઊંઘ કામ્પોઝ કે અલ્પ્રાઝોલેમની મોહતાજ નથી, એ તો થાકની ગુલામ છે.
*આપણે ત્યાં કામ વિનાનાં આરામને આરામ મનાય છે. પણ સાચો આરામ કામ પછીનો છે. કામ વિનાનો આરામ તો આળસ છે.* *ઉંમરને અને કામને કશું લાગતું-વળગતું નથી*. કામ કર્યા પછી ઊંઘ સોનાનો ખાટલો કે સો મણની તળાઇ માંગતી નથી. ઉંઘ કામમાંથી છટકવાની બારી નથી એ તો બે સખત કામના સેશન વચ્ચેનો રીચાર્જ પિરીયડ છે.
આપણી તકલીફ અડધુ થાકેલું શરીર અને પુરું બોર થયેલું મન હોય છે. કેટલાંક વળી સ્ટ્રેસનો વાંક કાઢતા હોય છે, દેશના સ્વાતંત્ર્ય સંગ્રામનો માથે ભાર હોવા છતાં ગાંધીજી ધારે ત્યારે ઉંઘી શકતા. ઉંઘ ઝોકાં ખાવા જેટલી આસાન નથી.
બગાસું ખાતા મોંઢામાં પતાસું આવી શકે છે પણ બગાસું ખાતાં ઉંઘ આવી જ જાય એવું નથી! ઉંઘ કિંમતી છે, એને કામ કરીને કમાવી જ પડે છે!!

At the age of 40 and 50
*APPROACHING 40s & 50s*
A friend of mine crossed 40 and is heading to 45.
I asked her what's changing?
She sent me following lines:
Yes, I am changing.
*After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children, my friends, now I have started loving myself.*
Yes, I am changing.
*I just realised that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.*
Yes, I am changing.
*I now stopped bargaining with vegetables & fruits vendors. After all, a few Rupees more is not going to burn a hole in my pocket but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees.*
Yes, I am changing.
*I pay the taxi driver without waiting for the change. The extra money might bring a smile on his face. After all he is toiling much harder for a living than me*
Yes, I am changing.
*I stopped telling the elderly that they've already narrated that story many times. After all, the story makes them walk down the memory lane & relive the past.*
Yes, I am changing.
*I've learnt not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. After all, the onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.*
Yes, I am changing.
*I give compliments freely & generously. After all it's a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me*.
Yes, I am changing.
*I've learnt not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. After all, personality speaks louder than appearances*.
Yes, I am changing.
*I walk away from people who don't value me. After all, they might not know my worth, but I do*.
Yes, I am changing.
*I remain cool when someone plays dirty politics to outrun me in the rat race. After all, I am not a rat & neither am I in any race*.
Yes, I am changing.
*I am learning not to be embarrassed by my emotions. After all, it's my emotions that make me human.*
Yes, I am changing.
*I have learnt that its better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. After all, my ego will keep me aloof whereas with relationships I will never be alone*.
Yes, I am changing.
*I've learnt to live each day as if it's the last. After all, it might be the last* .
Yes, I am changing.
*I am doing what makes me happy. After all, I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to me.*
🌿☘🍀🥒
*I decided to send this along because we can all learn to treat others with more compassion and stop being judgemental.*

We are only two
*અમે બે*
દીકરી અમારી યુરોપમાં અને દીકરો યુએસમાં, અહીં તો બસ અમે બે જ.
જમાઇ ઑફિસમાં રાજ કરે ને વહુરાણી પણ ડૉલર કમાઇ લાવે. અમારી મદદે આવો એવો એમનો સતત આગ્રહ હોય, પણ અમે ચતુરાઇથી એ આમંત્રણ ટાળીએ, કારણ કે અહીં અમે લાઇફ એન્જોય કરીએ છીએ.
મારી પત્ની ખૂબ શોખીન છે, બપોરે એ બિઝી રહે છે. મને કોઇ શોખ નથી એટલે બાકી રહેલી નીંદર પૂરી કરું છું, કારણ કે અહીં અમે બે જ હોઇએ છીએ.
સાંજે અમે સિનેમા જોવા ઉપડી જઇએ, પાછા ફરતા બહાર જમીને જ આવીએ, ઘરની પાછળ સૂર્યાસ્ત થાય અને અમારી મસ્તી મજાકનો સૂર્યોદય થાય, કારણ કે અમે બે જ હોઇએ છીએ.
એક દિવસ દીકરાનો, તો બીજે દિવસે દીકરીનો ફોન આવે, સમય જ નથી મળતો એવી ફરિયાદ કરે, અમારું મન ભરાઇ આવે, પછી તમે પણ એન્જોય કરશો એની તેમને હૈયાધારણ આપીએ, કારણ કે અહીં અમે બે જ હોઇએ છીએ.
એક વાર નવી નવાઇનું અમેરિકા ફરી પણ આવ્યા, સ્વચ્છ ને સુંદર જગ્યાઓ જોઇને માણી સુધ્ધાં આવ્યા, અમે બેઉ દુનિયા માણીએ, કારણ કે અમે બે જ હોઇએ છીએ.
નથી કોઇ જવાબદારી કે નથી કોઇ ફરિયાદ, નથી કોઇ અડચણ ને અમે એન્જોય કરીએ છીએ, કારણ કે અહીં અમે બે જ હોઇએ છીએ.
મરણની વાતો અમે કરતા જ નથી, પાર્ટીમાં જઇએ અને પિકનિકમાં ફરીએ, પૈસાની છે છૂટ અને સમય તેમ જ મિત્રો પણ છે ભરપૂર,
સંતાનોને કારણે બંધાઇ રહેવાના દિવસો ગયા એ વિચારમાત્રથી ખુશ થવાય છે, કારણ કે અહીં અમે બે જ હોઇએ છીએ.
બાળકોને અમારી ઇર્ષ્યા ન થાય એ માટે અમારી મોજમજા એમનાથી છાની રાખીએ, મારી આ ટ્રીકથી પત્ની હસી પડે અને એને સાથ આપીને હું પણ હસી લઉં, કારણ કે અહીં અમે બે જ હોઇએ છીએ.
_*(જેમણે પણ લખ્યું છે, એમને સલામ... 'કેમ કે છેલ્લે અમે બે જ છીએ...' મિત્રો, આ વાક્ય ખુબ જ સુંદર છે અને સમજવા જેવું છે. ટૂંક માં કહું તો આ પણ એક નિવૃત્તિ નું વિજ્ઞાન જ છે, જેમાં હું અને તું, તું અને હું...)*_
જિંદગી જીવી જાણો
નહિતર બસના
કંડકટર જેવું જીવન બની રહેશે
મુસાફરી રોજ કરવાની ને
જવાનું કયાંય નહીં…..

Blood pressure agnxgd heialth
According to a recent study, only 3 out of 4 INDIVIDUALS in India with HYPERTENSION have EVER had their blood pressure MEASURED.‼
More than half the number of Indians aged 15 to 49 years with hypertension were NOT AWARE of their hypertension status‼
It is important to get an annual checkup done after the age of 30 even if you have no family history of hypertension, are not diabetic or don’t have any other lifestyle-related disorder. For those in the high-risk category, a checkup is advised every month. ‼
_It is also imperative to spread the message of prevention and encourage people across various age groups to check their blood pressure at regular intervals._
🧂Limit sodium intake to under 2,300 milligrams a day (one teaspoon of salt) and get plenty of potassium (at least 4,700 mg per day) from fruits and vegetables.
🚴🏼♂prescription for better health - bicycles. - alternatives to drugs, in a bid to avoid side effects and improve cost efficiency.
Strength really is a buffer to mortality, being strong is as big a mediator in terms of long-term health as anything. And more importantly, it extends your health span, so you can maintain a higher quality of life for longer.
Starting around age 40, most people begin to lose muscle mass. It’s imperceptible at first but accelerates to about a pound per year by the time you’re 50. It’s easier to mitigate the slope of that decline by training more when you’re younger than it is to try to rebound when your muscle has wasted away.
A new JAMA study revealed that if you can do 40 or more pushups in a row, you’re 96 percent less likely to deal with heart problems in the next decade than someone who can’t do 10.

Humanity at its best
It was getting dark. Someone was calling from behind the locked iron gate. Wondering who it could be I came out.
An elderly person was standing behind the gate. The clothes wrinkled and with a small bag in his hand he appeared to have travelled some distance coming here. Looking into a small piece of paper in his hands he enquired, “Isn’t this Anand, Number 8, Yogananda Street, my son?”
“Yes, I am Anand and this is the address. And you…”, I mumbled looking at this old man.
Slightly shivering and moistening his dry lips with the tongue he replied, handing over the letter, “Babu, I am your father’s friend. I am coming from your village. Your father gave me this letter and advised that I seek help from you”.
Taking that letter from him, exclaiming “father?”, I eagerly read that letter. “Dear Anand, blessings to you. The person carrying this letter is my friend. His name is Ramayya. Works hard. A few days ago, his only son died in an accident. He is running around seeking compensation. That would help him and his wife to pull along with the other meagre income. I am sending the police reports after the accident, the compensation affidavits given by the Travel Agents and other relevant papers. He was told that the final payment may be collected in the Head Office. This is his first visit to Hyderabad and he is a stranger. I am hoping that you would be able to help him. Take care of your health. Visit us at your earliest convenience. Your loving father”.
Ramayyagaru was standing watching me. I thought for a moment and invited him inside. Giving him some water to drink, I enquired, “Did you have anything to eat?”.
He replied, “No, my son. As the journey got delayed, I ate the two fruits that I brought with me.”
Going inside I prepared four dosas and served them with pickles. Saying, “You please eat”, I went out and made a couple of calls and returned.
When I returned, I found that he had finished the tiffin and was sitting with a few papers in his hand. There was a photo of his deceased son. The boy was handsome and young. May be 22 years. My eyes moistened.
“He is my only son. Those who were born before him died due to various other causes. He was the only one we had. Mahesh was his name. He studied well and got a job. Assuring us that he will take care of us and we would get over all hardships he took up the job. On the fateful day he was involved in a road accident while crossing the road. Died on the spot. Not wishing to take compensation in the name of the deceased son we were initially reluctant. But day by day, I am becoming weak and my wife too is not doing well. With your father’s insistence I came here. Saying my son will help, he sent me with this letter”, he concluded.
“Fine. It’s late now. Take rest”. Saying this I too slept.
Next morning, we got ready, had coffee at home and started. Finishing breakfast on the way, we reached the Office address mentioned in the documents.
“Anand, I will take care of the rest. You attend to your office work” said Ramayyagaru.
“No issue. I have taken leave for today”, I replied. Being with him I got the compensation paid to him. “Thank you, dear son. My wife is alone at home and I will go back home”, said the old man.
“Come, I will drop you at the bus-stand and see you off.” I took him to the bus-stand, got him a ticket, bought a few fruits to eat on the way.
He said with joy in his eyes, he said, “Anandbabu, taking leave for my sake you helped me a lot. Soon after going home I will narrate everything to your father and thank him too.”
Smiling and holding his hands I explained, “I am not your friend’s son Anand. I am Aravind.You came to the wrong address.That Anand’s house is another 2 km away. You were already tired and I didn’t have the heart to tell you the truth. I called the number in your letter and enquired. His wife said that Anand had gone out of town on some work. I called your friend and told him too. He felt very sad. Once I assured him that I will take care he felt good. The loss you have suffered is irreparable. But I felt that I should help you. That I did it gives me greatest pleasure.”
As the bus moved, holding my hands Ramayya left with tears of gratitude in his eyes. “God bless you, my child”, were his parting words.
That is enough for me, I thought. My father passed away fifteen years earlier. Now looking at Ramayyagaru I felt my father has returned.
Looking up at the sky I thought my father must be somewhere there. “Dad, did you come in this form to check my progress in life! Sending me a letter, were you testing me whether I would help or not? Born to a great father like you, as a son I have performed by duty. Are you happy?” Tears of joy flooded my eyes.
*“Have an intention to help. Nature will work out the way.”*

Stay safe at old age
*🌿🌿🌿
* How to stay "safe" at old age*
*1. Do not retire*.
If you're over-aged, retire and get all the benefits but find another income-generating job tat will keep you active physically and mentally. Travel and bond with true friends, play a sport, learn a new hobby and volunteer in your community or parish. Don't loaf around. Solve crossword puzzles, play Scrabble, and above all, read ...this will keep you alert and keep Alzheimer's at bay.
*2. Live in your own place to enjoy independence,* privacy and a solo life. If you move in with your children, your rank or degree of importance is reduced to that of a bed spacer who has no place of honor. Maybe, you have to 'kowtow' to conform to their own rules tat are not kind, considerate or mindful of you.
*3. Hold on to your nest egg, bank deposits and assets.*
If you want to help your children, do give, but not to the extent that you wipe out your life's earnings. Staying solvent and in the black is a good hedge against bad times.
*4. Don't believe your children's promise to care for you when you grow old priorities change.*
Many children are not guilt- ridden or filled with a sense of moral obligation when the wife and offspring take top billing in their lives.
*5. Expand your circle of friends to include young ones who will definitely outlive your old BFFs.* Keep up with new inventions, trends, music and lifestyle. Rmbr tat when you mix with the young, you also open a fresh avenue to channel your thoughts, experiences and values.
*6. Be well groomed and smelling.*
There's nothing more depressing than seeing people exhale when you walk by because you reek of baul or lupa. Old age or bust, don't look and smell like a corpse when you're not one yet.
*7. Do not meddle in the life of your children.*
If they ask for your counsel, give it, but be ready to accept that they may not take it. Their situations in life cannot be compared to the situations that you experienced in your life. The playing field has changed.
*8. Do not use old age as your shield and justification for turning grumpy.*
There's nothing more annoying than an arrogant, old fool. Welcome each day as another chance to be kind and forgiving, to yourself and to others.
*9. Listen to what others may say*. Do not throw your weight around just because you are a septuagenarian or a nonagenarian. You are not a depository of knowledge.
*10. Focus on your life*.
You will definitely leave everything behind, a final journey detached from burden and care. Be more accepting tat, sooner, not later, you will croak. Prepare your swan song with a humble and contrite heart.
*Money* - Your last power at old age!
If you are broke at old age, nobody, not even your children will come close to you. You are a parasite.
Yes, *Money buys you power* when you needed it most at old age.
