I'm retired - I'll do what I want, when I want, if I want.

It's not by the gray in the hair we know the age of the heart.

Old age - that's always 10 years older than I am!

Retirement - how wonderful to do nothing and then rest afterwards.

Middle age is when your narrow waist and broad mind trade places.

Age is not important unless you are a cheese.

Over the speed limit but still in the race.

Young at heart, slightly older in other places.

After 40 your body has a mind of it's own.

After 50 gravity takes over.

Retirement - half the money - twice as much fun.

People who have the most birthdays live the longest.

Youth looks ahead - Old age looks back - Middle age looks tired.

Youth is a gift of nature - Age is a work of art.

Retirement is not the end of the road, it is taking a new direction.

Age is a matter of mind...If you don't mind...it doesn't matter.

Age is all in your mind, the trick is to keep it from creeping down into your body.

Don't regret growing old, it's a privilege denied to many.

Retirement: twice as much husband, half as much money.

The difficult age - too old to work, too poor to quit.

With age comes wisdom - very, very slowly.

The old believe everything, the middle aged suspect everything,
the young know everything.

Grow old along with me.....the best is yet to be.

I'm not over the hill.....I'm older than the hill.

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

When did my wild oats turn 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.

Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

The longer I live, the less future there is to worry about.

Despite the cost of living, it's still quite popular.

The aging process could be slowed down if it had to work its way through Congress.

You're getting old when you don't care where your wife goes, just so you don't have to go along.

We are always the same age inside.

It's hard to be nostalgic when you can't remember anything.

Experience teaches you to recognize a mistake when you've made it again.

My mind not only wanders, sometimes it leaves completely.

Age doesn't always bring wisdom. Sometimes age comes alone.

Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.

Retirement is when you stop living at work and begin work at living.

Fifty (50) is being a "10" 5 times.

Life not only begins at forty, it begins to show.

Age is a high price to pay for maturity.

By the time you get to greener pastures, you can't climb the fence.

I'm retired! (Or did the permanent grin give that away already!)

Wrinkled is not what I wanted to be when I grew up.

I've seen it all - I've heard it all - I've done it all - I just can't remember it all.

Nostalgia: Life in the past lane.

50 - the metallic age - Silver hair, gold teeth, lead bottom.

I'm not 50 - I'm $49.95 plus tax.

Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.

Forty isn't old if you're a tree.

At my age the happy hour is a nap.

I'm getting so old my friends in heaven will think I didn't make it.

Nostalgia: When you find the present tense and the past perfect.

If I knew where I was going to die, I'd never go near the place.

I'm retired....having a good time (fun) is my job.

It's hard to be nostalgic when you can't remember anything.

The older I get, the more I know, but the less I realize it.

Lord give me patience....the man of the house is retired.

Middle age is when the best exercise is one of descretion.

How beautiful to do nothing and rest afterward.

Experience enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

If you're pushing 60 that's exercise enough.

Retirement is when you can stop making a living and start making a life.

I was put on earth to accomplish a certain number of things - right now, I'm so far behind I will never die.

We're not old - we've just lived a long time.

My memory is remarkable - I forget everything!

Remember - it's always best to be on the right side of the grass.

I'm not over the hill....I'm on the back nine.

The secret to staying young is to find an age you really like and stick with it.

The only thing wrong with the younger generation is that I'm no longer a part of it.

Remember....It's better to be over the hill than under it!

There are three signs of old age - first your memory goes...the other two I forgot.

I may be over the hill but I took the scenic route.

I'm not over the hill...I'm a classic.

When you're over the hill, you pick up speed.

Ah, being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

Old age is when former classmates are so gray and wrinkled and bald,
they don't recognize you.

If I can't take it with me - I'm not going!

Age is a number and mine is unlisted.

Warning - Retiree - knows it all, and has plenty of time to tell you about it.

I'm not aging - I'm marinating.

Middle age is when you choose cereal for the fiber, not the toy.

Aging Graysfully.

I have a photographic memory - unfortunately, I no longer offer same
day service.

Don't let aging get you down...it's too hard to get back up.

"You're never too old"
You're never too old to chase a butterfly,
to dream of floating on clouds in the deep blue sky,
to catch a ray of sunshine off the morning dew,
to lick an ice cream cone that's shared by two,
to listen to the rhythm of the falling rain,
to hop a ride aboard an old freight train,
because life is what you make of it,
so don't sit back and let it pass you by,
stay young at heart and live it,
and the world will be your oyster,
all you have to do is .....try.
