A Positive Attitude -- Jokes and Humor Can Help

New stimuli and a positive attitude are attributed to "successful" aging. (It's not enough to just tick off the birthdays.) Specific attitude issues to think about to achieve this are:

• Atittude 1 -- Take risks in life.
• Atittude 2 --Respect your own opinion.
• Atittude 3 --Be flexible and adaptable.
• Atittude 4 --Take on new challenges and learn new things.
• Atittude 5 --Deal with pain and losses, but don't hold on to the suffering they bring.
• Atittude 6 --See the half full glass.
• Atittude 7 --Take care of yourself with healthy eating and regular exercise.
• Atittude 8 --Don't accept societies myths as true about you.

Now that I'm older, here's what I've discovered: I started out with nothing, I still have most of it.

My wild oats have turned to prunes and All Bran.

I finally got my head together, now my body is falling apart.

Funny, I don't remember being absent minded.

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.

The only time the world beats a path to your door is if you're in the bathroom.

When I'm finally holding all the cards, why does everyone decide to play chess?

It's not hard to meet expenses ... they're everywhere.

The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would have put them on my knees
