The Senility Prayer
God, grant me the Senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,the good fortune to run into the ones that I do,
and the eyesight to tell the difference.
Now that I'm older, here's what I've discovered:
I started out with nothing, and I still have most of it.
My wild oats have turned into prunes and all bran.
I finally got my head together; now my body is falling apart.
Funny, I don't remember being absent minded....
All reports are in; Life is now officially unfair.
If all is not lost, where is it.
It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser.
Some days you're the dog; some days you're the hydrant.
I wish the buck stopped here; I sure could use a few.
Kids in the back seat cause accidents.
Accidents in the back seat cause...kids.
It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere.
Only time the world beats a path to your door is when you're in the bathroom.
If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put then on my knees.
It's not hard to meet expenses...they're everywhere.
The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.
These days, I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter...I go somewhere to get something, and then wonder what I'm hereafter.

Very true...At any age.
Great blog!!
It resembles me alot!
Oh yeah, time for a quick story. I live in an apartment complex and we have cool neighbors. But one guy notices everything. He makes me laugh.
The other day he remarked that, and I didn't really get the gist of his remark other then he was being nosy, I was wandering around looking lost and talking to myself. Heck, doesn't everyone do that?
I answered him, "Rob, I have forgotten stuff 2 seconds after I set it down or what the heck I'm doing because my mind likes to wander alot".
I continued, "But, you see, it used to bother me alot but not anymore. I blow my top and it's over because I will finally wander into what I forgot or don't see".
That's the prerogative of a single, irresponsible man!
Pay up Alex Trebeck!
Everyone heard it, not a secret,
Just the bar is raised above,
Adding wisdom a bouquet
You don't hurry to frown and be angry,
67 years, yet not a sentence,
It is necessary in life to aspire to the best,
There are in us force and enthusiasm
Again funny but true.
Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age arrives on its own.
