> I’m smiling all the time because I can’t hear a word you’re saying.
> I’m very good at telling stories…over…and over…and over.
> I’m aware that other people’s grand-children are not as bright as mine.

> I’m positive I did housework correctly before my mate retired.
> I’m sure everything I can’t find is in a secure place.
> I’m wrinkled, saggy, and lumpy and that’s just my left leg.
> I’m realizing that aging is not for sissies.
> I’m walking more (to the bathroom) and enjoying it less.
