Lessons in Life II

Women Over 40.......
In case you missed it on 60 Minutes, this is what Andy Rooney thinks about women over 40:
As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:
A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, 'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think.
If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting.
Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it.
Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.
Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40.
Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.
Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk, if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.
Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize.
For all those men who say, 'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? Here's an update for you................
Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!
Andy Rooney is a very intelligent man!

I recently asked a dear friend, who is in his 70s and nearing 80, about the changes he’s noticed in himself as he’s grown older. His response was so beautiful, I just had to share it with you all:

1. After spending a lifetime loving my parents, siblings, spouse, children, and friends—I’ve finally started loving myself.

2. I’ve realized that I am not “Atlas.” The world doesn’t rest on my shoulders.

3. I no longer haggle with vegetable or fruit vendors. A few extra pennies won’t hurt me, but it might help them save for their daughter’s school fees.

4. I always leave my waitress a generous tip. That little extra might bring a smile to her face as she works hard for her living.

5. I’ve stopped telling the elderly that they’ve already repeated that story. It allows them to relive their precious memories.

6. I no longer feel the need to correct people, even when I know they’re wrong. It’s not my job to make everyone perfect—peace is far more valuable than perfection.

7. I freely give compliments. They lift the mood of both the giver and receiver. And remember, if you receive one, never turn it down—just say "Thank you."

8. A crease or spot on my shirt? I don’t sweat it anymore. Personality speaks louder than appearances.

9. I’ve learned to walk away from people who don’t value me. They may not know my worth, but I do.

10. I stay calm when others try to outrun me in life’s rat race. I am not a rat, and I’m not racing.

11. I’m no longer embarrassed by my emotions—they’re what make me human.

12. I’ve learned that it’s better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. Ego isolates, but relationships keep you connected.

13. I live each day as if it could be my last, because one day, it just might be.

14. And lastly, I’m doing what makes me happy. I’m responsible for my happiness, and happiness is a choice you can make at any moment.

Why wait until we’re 60, 70, or 80 to start living this way? Let’s practice these lessons now, at any age.

This insightful message was shared by a wise friend, and I’m simply passing along his words of wisdom.

It is true..
Lessons of getting older:
-You become more comfortable in your skin and you become more secure in your opinions and self.
-You no longer care as much what people think.
-You do not try as hard anymore at anything.
-You are not afraid to be smart and value intelligent conversation, your own space and peace and quiet.
-You care less about your appearance, in terms of no longer being obsessed with the way you look and more about real things
-Men find you sexier as you age and that is actually the truth because young is annoying.
