When we are young, we want to grow up. Then at some point society says, No...do not look your age or act you age. Me? I was lucky to know some wonderful older persons. They always had time to listen to me or to tell as story about 'olden days'. They provided great relief...no need to be the best for them...they always found me to be good enough..even their best (so they said). The old and the young are natural companions - pressures of achievement are not there as they are for those still of working age. Yes.

Few people know it but growing older is a gift. No one hassles you because they no longer consider you 'competition'. And you are free to say and do what your really want. Many elders take up art, woodworking, knitting, crocheting, gardening. Others take time each day to send a note (by email or by smail) to a friend or loved one. And hundreds of elders go to their local ASPCA and walk a dog or play with a cat. Yes, all these acts are gift to others....but they are also gifts to ourselves. Please would you comments. What gifts do you share.

If we match the seasons of the year with the seasons of life, the winter is akin to old age. And when we consider winter, we can focus on the cold, the slippery walks, snow and frequent grey skies. Or we can focus on the brisk air, the stark landscape of bare trees, the cleanliness of new fallen snow. Yes, what we look at, focus on is a choice. So, too with old age. We can focus on the beautiful parts or the inconveniences. Think what is a beautiful part of you older life? Would you share with others via the comment section? Thanks, I am really interested in your thoughts.

In earlier times people spoke of Elderhood, not old age. Elders were respected because of their knowledge gained from life experience. Then along came 'scientific farming' and the assembly line factory system. Suddenly the knowledge of elders was not needed. "New" and "latest" became what people wanted. 'Old age' and 'seasoned employee' were no longer popular. ... I never accepted that change. To me Grandparents were special....and the old man and woman who worked in the huge vegetable lot by the Swedish home were special too. They always would stop their work and say a few words to me.....while most adults were far too busy. Now that I am in my eighties, I think of the marvelous old people I have know....people who were never too busy to say hello or to share a story. And when people write me off or are too busy to bother, I think how sad for them. My life remains and adventure and my memory keeps some people present even now. See more

The problem is not that we are getting older. The problem is that we do not want to grow up, grow in experience and wisdom. I am reminded of little children who do not want to leave their carriage and learn to walk on their own. They have grown used to the benefits of being 'the baby'.....just as some adults have grown used to the benefits of adulthood. Hey, there is a whole world ahead of us...a new part of life to be discovered and explored. Truth is, it would be a problem is we stopped getting older. (We would be dead)
