- We all face a very challenging, unhappy and almost hateful
task each morning. No matter what our age, there is no way
to avoid it, no recourse, you must comply. If you’re
physical fit, everyone must wake up and get moving. I mean
getting out of bed. Putting your feet on the floor, from
your warm nest, to rise and shine. For some it takes more
effort then others. While you wonder if a few more minutes
with your head on pillow will help, the only solution is
comical, or you could make it hysterical.
A good way to start off each day, even with aches, pains and
muscles that don’t respond, is to imagine million of others
doing the same thing. Can you visualize the way people
actually get up each morning? How comical is each person’s
effort that takes them from their bed to an erect position,
you would laugh and keep laughing and that’s the secret of
getting up each morning, with a few laughs.
Humor has always been a great diffuser to help you with the
not so pleasant tasks. A good laugh, or remembering a funny
incident, a joke, something you saw or read which made you
laugh out loud till tears fill your eyes, is the way to
change your approach to the unpleasant things in life.
Through the years I have collected quite a few funny and
humorous sayings, stories, jokes, one liners and cartoons.
Some are good, some are bad and some not worth repeating.
This particular one was given to me but I can’t remember the
person.
An elderly couple was celebrating their sixtieth
anniversary. They had married as childhood sweethearts and
moved back to their old neighborhood after they retired.
Holding hands they walked back to their old school. It was
not locked so they entered and found the old desk they’d
shared, where Andy had carved “I love You, Sally.”
On their way back home, a bag of money fell out of an
armored car, practically landing at their feet. Sally
quickly picked it up, but not sure what to do with it, they
took it home. There, she counted the money fifty thousand
dollars.
Andy said, “We’ve got to give it back.” Sally said, “Finders
keepers.” She put the money back in the bag and hid it in
their attic. The next day, two FBI men were canvassing the
neighborhood looking for the money, and knocked on their
door. “Pardon me, but did either of you find a bag that fell
out of an armored car yesterday?” Sally said, “No.” Andy
said, “She’s lying. She hid it up in the attic.” Sally said,
“Don’t believe him, he’s getting senile.”
The agent turned to Andy and began to question him. One FBI
agent said, “Tell us the story from the beginning.” Andy
said, “Well, when Sally and I were walking home from school
yesterday…..”
The first FBI guy turns to his partner and says…….”Lets get
out of here.”
No one believes seniors. . . everyone thinks they are
senile.
