Today’s Quote & Question For 7/22/09

Today’s Quote: “The great secret that all old people share is that you really haven't changed in 70 or 80 years. Your body changes, but you don't change at all.” - Doris Lessing

Today’s Question: Do you regard age as an enemy or a friend?

My Thoughts: With age comes a sense of wisdom to realize, much later that needed, that you should have known better than to do a lot of the things you did that seemed like a great idea at the time. While the frailty of your body may lead to the ability to do less physically with age, those lucky enough to have a sharp mind and to have live a less jaded life have the power to instill the knowledge of a wonderful past onto the next generations, and hope they actually choose to learn from your mistake, or at least make new, creative mistake of their own.
