Rashtriya Sewa: Yes, I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN

TO ALL OUR SENIOR CITIZENS WHO CAN FEEL PROUD

Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary.

They know we take responsibility for all we have done and do not blame others.

HOWEVER,

upon reflection, they would like to

point out that it was NOT the senior citizens who took

The melody out of music;

The pride out of appearance;

The courtesy out of driving;

The romance out of love;

The commitment out of marriage;

The responsibility out of parenthood;

The togetherness out of the family;

The learning out of education;

The service out of patriotism;

The Golden Rule from rulers;

The nativity scene out of cities;

The civility out of behavior;

The refinement out of language;

The dedication out of employment;

The prudence out of spending;

The ambition out of achievement or

God out of government and school.

And they certainly are NOT the ones who eliminated

patience and tolerance from personal relationships

and interactions with others!!

And, they do understand the meaning of patriotism, and remember those who have fought and died for our country.

Just look at the Seniors with tears in their eyes and pride in their hearts as they stand at attention with their hand over their hearts!

YES, I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN!

I'm the life of the party... even if it lasts until 8

I'm very good at opening childproof caps... with a hammer.

I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.

I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a thing you're saying.

I'm sure everything I can't find is in a safe secure place, somewhere.

I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg.

I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.
