As I'm getting older, I'm reminded of the
saying, "with age comes wisdom." I always thought I would
be so much wiser when I got to this age. I'm not. I
actually seem to be learning so much from people half my
age. I have begun seeing life through their eyes, asking
them the questions I was Always afraid to ask when I was
their age. I seem to be re-living my younger years through
others going through it for the first time. I'm seeing my
own life differently now.
I don't want to be any younger, but I'm also having
trouble being the age I am. I see so many things going on
in the world that I never noticed before. Not just the
strife or wars, but the everyday people . The faces, the
lives, and the places they live in. Younger people
have shown me a new way of seeing, A better way of living,
a more sincere way of feeling. I've also learned to be
thankful for everything and everybody in my life. I know,
now, they are here for a reason and most will not be in my
life as time passes, but the gifts they leave with me now,
are meant to enrich and enlighten me for as long as I live.
So, what it all come down to is this: I
guess the most wisdom I've gained is realizing I don't
know that much and I'm perfectly fine with that as long as I never stop learning, loving, & living!
