Aging

"Aging" As the age's number increases So do the aches and pains; So does the number of losses With less and less gains. When ready for some wisdom, As the foolish years wane, So then comes the time For senility of the brain. Yes, Aging is a charmer Only if along the way, We maintain as our armor A sense of humour every day! Written by Artsieladie/Sharon Donnelly ©2018-06-07 04:05:00 (EDT) All rights reserved.

Without a sense of humor, I do not think I could be as old as I am. That is for sure! It helps life be livable.

Well now, Caren, ain't that the truth! Same here. Having a sense of humour and being able to laugh at oneself are essential in life, me thinks. Thanks always for your thoughts. They're always a pleasant plus with my poems. Have a happy day. :) ~ Artsie

Yes, humour helps tremendously, Jan. Thank you for your silly poems. They're always the best medicine for turning the corners up into a smile, when they want to point down into a frown. Have a pleasant day/eve. :) hugs ~ Artsie xx

Brilliantly put Artsie, aging sucks big time, but keeping a sense of humour certainly helps. Tom

Yeah, it does, Tom. The mind's still willing but the body says, "Now, wait a minute. Your chicken has lost its spring!" lol I think a sense of humour is needed throughout life but even more so as the years add up. Thank you for your thoughts. Have a great week. :) ~ Artsie
