Reflections from the other side of 46

Reflections from the other side of 46:

• Do not salt home-made fries without wearing your glasses, or you won’t be able to see  the salt coming out of the shaker. 
• Do pay attention to what you are doing in the kitchen; placing your hand on a burner that is still hot will cause extreme pain.
• The floor keeps getting farther and farther away.
• The print on books and menus keeps getting smaller and smaller.
• My glasses keep getting more and more expensive.
• Light bulbs are not as bright as they used to be. 
• Your joints suddenly acquire a strange resemblance to Rice Krispies.  (Snap, crackle, pop!)
• I thought I’d finished with exceptional mood swings and acne once I passed my teens.
• It is NOT unreasonable to have the air conditioner on when the outside temperature is below 30!
• An “all-nighter” now  is not.
•  They say, “That which does not kill us, makes us stronger.”  I’m not convinced.
• Don’t say, “It could be worse.”  It usually gets there before it gets better.
• Experience is the best teacher, but not always the most comfortable one.  
• Love grows bigger, better, deeper and wider each year.
• So do your relationships.
• Your sense of humor gets better, too.
• And always, no matter what age you’re at, “these three things remain:  faith, hope and love.  And the greatest of these is love.”

Have a great day everyone!
