I Can't Believe I'm 50! :-(

If I Were Brave I Would Turn 50!---(Well actually I don’t really have a choice in the matter now do I?) 

If you live long enough I guess it is bound to happen.  I am not prepared for this!  I always thought that if I ever reached 50 I would know stuff... I would have life figured out. Help...I don’t know enough stuff! I now realize I have so much more to learn. 

I have tried to keep a sense of humor about the whole thing.  Here are some thoughts that have helped:

The 50-ish wife comes up to her husband and says, 'So, Harvey. What do you think of my new bra-less look? Does it make me look younger?' 

'It does!' Harvey says. 'It pulls all the wrinkles out of your face!'

 Perks of being over 50:

1. Your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size.
2. Your secrets are safe with your friends because they can't remember them either.
3. You sing along with elevator music.
4. Your joints are more accurate meteorologists than the national weather service.
5. You have a party and the neighbors don't even realize it.
6. People call at 9 PM and ask, "Did I wake you?"
7. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac.
8. Things you buy now won't wear out.
9. You can live without sex but not without glasses.
