Some advice to others from a fellow aging fella… 😂
“Take naps like they’re happy hour.” Don’t let anyone shame you for nodding off. Naps are nature’s way of giving you a little slice of paradise.
“Remember: sand in your shoes is better than snow in your driveway.” If retirement hasn’t taught you to be a snowbird yet, well, what’re you waitin’ for?
“When in doubt, flip-flop it out.” Ditch the fancy shoes. Life’s too short for anything that’s not comfortable.
“Drink your margaritas frozen and your coffee lukewarm.” Hot coffee’s for people with somewhere to be, sip yours slow and take it easy.
“You’re only as old as the friends you call to bail you out.” Keep a few rowdy buddies around. Who says mischief has an age limit?
“Forget the beach body. Just make sure your hat has a good brim.” Cover up, sunscreen up, and enjoy the beach—life’s better with a good tan and no sunburn.
“Don’t worry about remembering anyone’s name. Just call everybody ‘buddy’ or ‘darlin’.” Works like a charm and keeps the peace.
“Splurge on the good guacamole, your kids can fight over the will.” Why save all the fun for later? Enjoy it now. Life’s short, guac is extra, so live a little.
“If you can’t change it, paint it a wild color.” Bored with the porch? Paint it turquoise. Who says a little color can’t fix the soul?
“Dancing’s for everyone. Just give ‘em a warning if you’re goin’ to do the twist.” Loosen up the hips and keep a sense of humor, you’re never too old for a little boogie.
“Trade secrets for good stories.” At this age, there’s no need to keep all those secrets. Tell those tales, embellish a little, make ‘em laugh.
“Smile lines are just proof you’ve lived right.” Wear those wrinkles with pride, they’re a souvenir from the ride.
“Always carry two things: reading glasses and a sense of humor.” Life’s clearer with both.
“Go barefoot whenever you can.” Life’s more fun with sand between your toes and grass under your feet.
“Tell your kids you’re off to chase the sunset.” They may think you’re joking, but there’s magic in those last golden rays. Chase ‘em, catch ‘em, soak it all in. 💙 Let the adventures continue, keep the laughter loud, and remember Parrotheads, paradise is wherever you decide to sit down with a smile.
