Older and Happier....

There is a survey going around saying that
we, the older generation, are happier than the rest.

My answer to that? Duh?

Are you a grandparent? Is it easier than
when you were a parent? Have the kids
for a while, a day or a week? Still easier?

Of course it is... because you don't have the
responsibility that you had when it was your
own kids. Oh, you act responsible, of course.
But in the long run (unless you are one of
the grandparents who is raising your own
grandchildren, then all bets are off). it is
easier.

And life after 60 is pretty much the same.
You still have responsibilities, but you don't
have to beat out the other guy to get a raise
anymore. Your job, is what it is. Rarely gets
any better after 60. You hang in there for the
next 5 to 6 years. And you retire.

So as long as you are healthy, and can do
things you like.. or if you get to retire, and
do things... heck yea, we are happier.

We just sit back and watch the next generation
try to handle things. And laugh as they do..
been there, did that, already found out, things
will work out. No stress. no problem.
