I wonder…There was a poem with this name that I had to memorize when I was young. Sometimes it plays in my head for no reason but yesterday morning I was just wondering about getting older. I guess it happens after another birthday. Another year on earth and a time to give that higher being thanks for allow me to thrive. Getting old is something that has to happen no matter how you try to stave it off. For some of us it happens slowly that we don’t even notice and for others it just seem to happen suddenly. Is it that it happens suddenly or maybe it’s in the mind. So many persons have tried finding the fountain of youth but to no avail. That’s why you need to live your life and not put off for tomorrow what can be done today.

Interestingly it’s not something you think about when young. I remember being in high school and the thought of being 50 years old seem so far away. Now, not so much. Is age really just a number or does it depends on how you feel? Are you really as old as you feel or are you as old as you look or is it just the age you are at? I guess it depends on the person. Do you even think about things like that or do you go with the flow? A day at a time or que sera, sera? And I don’t think they are the same thing. One is watching and being hopeful as you go along each day while the other just hopes that you can/will be ok as you go with the flow.

As you know I like listening to people especially those that have been around the block and are willing to pass on what they have learnt. I stay away from the ones that are not willing to share. How do we learn as a specie if we don’t pass on information and experiences to the generations after? Many persons however think that there is nothing that they can learn from persons that are older. I have heard stories of persons showing disdain for anyone over forty. Imagine that. My grandmothers would have been amazed. Young people need older people to learn and grow. Do you agree or is everything now on the internet and so there is no need to learn from the older persons. If that is so true why the need for mentors? It’s interesting that the persons who had issues with persons who they feel are old do better with mentors. If they have no guidance they go off the rails. 🤷🏽‍♀️. That’s the way the world turn.

Let me know as I really want to know what you are thinking, and I know others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.

Always remember life is for living and you must always live your best life. #lifeisforliving #liveyourbestlife #gratefulforlife #faithgreaterthanfear
