Seniors at a Florida Coffee Shop

A friend sent this to me and based on my recent experiences with my mother, I thought you all would get a kick out of it.. :-)

A group of seniors were sitting around talking about all their ailments.
"My arms have gotten so weak I can hardly lift this cup of coffee," said one.
"Yes, I know," said another. "My cataracts are so bad; I can't even see my coffee."
"I couldn't even mark an "X" at election time, my hands are so crippled," volunteered a third.
"Where the hell are my glasses?", said another.
"What? Speak up! What? I can't hear you!"
"I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck," said a fourth, to which several nodded weakly in agreement.
"My blood pressure pills make me so dizzy!" exclaimed another.
"I forget where I am, and where I'm going," said another."
"I guess that's the price we pay for getting old," winced an old man as he slowly shook his head.
The others nodded in agreement.

"Well, count your blessings," said a woman cheerfully -- "thank God we can all still drive."

For everyday in life, for every stressful days at work or in school, every individuals needs to get relax. One simple way is to go to a coffee shop and enjoy a cup of coffee to make things easier. :) Me myself keep doing that, because It's the only time for me to give my self in-spite of my hectic schedule. A cup of coffee for every success and trials in life. Cheers!
