Growing Older and Bolder

 






Funny - After the honeymoon

 


A couple returns from their honeymoon refusing to speak to each other.

The groom's best friend takes him aside and asks what's wrong.

“Well,” replies the man, “when we finished making love on the first night, I put a $50 bill on the pillow without thinking.”

“Oh, you shouldn't worry about that too much,” says his friend.

“I'm sure your wife will get over it soon enough

She can't expect you to have been saving yourself all these years.”

“That's not the problem, ” the groom says

“She gave me $20 change!”

"In old age, life just begins." This motto is adhered to Berlin fashionistas Britt Kanja and Günther Krabbenhöft. In spite of their silver age, Britta and Günther lead an active lifestyle, appear on social events and go out to night clubs. Wherever they go, the couple stands out from the crowd with their outfits.

THE SERENITY PRAYER

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE;
COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN;
AND WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

LIVING ONE DAY AT A TIME;
ENJOYING ONE MOMENT AT A TIME;
ACCEPTING HARDSHIPS AS THE PATHWAY TO PEACE;
TAKING, AS HE DID, THIS SINFUL WORLD
AS IT IS, NOT AS I WOULD HAVE IT;
TRUSTING THAT HE WILL MAKE ALL THINGS RIGHT
IF I SURRENDER TO HIS WILL;
THAT I MAY BE REASONABLY HAPPY IN THIS LIFE
AND SUPREMELY HAPPY WITH HIM
FOREVER IN THE NEXT.
AMEN.
