In 9 weeks, I will reach my 83th birthday. It seems to me that my brain is still the same as 43 years ago, with perhaps just the fact that it works at a slower pace. It is different with my body, especially in the morning when I have to get up ! I fought a long life full of hassles, but also full of pleasures and joys .

Did I may be live too long ? Certainly not !

My greatest pleasure now is to revive in my memory all these happy and unhappy moments.

My life is not finished and I hope to enjoy for a long time to be alive. Every morning I welcome the day that awaits me.

The most important is to know how to laugh at oneself.

I found a text that really applies to me :

The benefits of having passed the age of 70 years :

You don't more interest kidnappers

During a hostage, you will probably be released one of the first

Nobody expects to see you run anywhere

People phoning you at 9 o'clock pm ask you if they woke you

Things you buy now will not have the time to be used up

You can live without sex but not without your glasses

Your secrets are safe with your friends because they probably don't remember them

The money you invested in your health insurance is finally beginning to produce benefits

Your knuckles are better predictions for the coming weather that what is said on TV

You no longer have to hide your fat belly for anyone

You have left nothing more to learn in the sweat of your brow

If you want you can dinner in 4 hours pm

Your view will not go down any more

You will no longer be considered as a hypochondriac

You don’t consider any more the speed limit on the road as a challenge

As you see very well, an old age offers only advantages .
