We are national treasures

You know what is nice about getting older? You become much wiser and your life experiences are a treasure to those around you. Your family, friends and anyone really can and will come to you and ask what do you think? It is a great responsibility to answer but life has taught us many valuable lessons to impart. Getting older doesn't mean you are useless or not to have an opinion. Sometimes I think when we look around us and see all the youth who have the energy and "techie" wisdom we feel that we are becoming obsolete. That is a lie and we should not buy into that. We are human, loving, and even able to keep up and yes, sometimes surpass those inexperienced youngsters who think they are so smart and know it all. Smartness is not wisdom. Wisdom comes with marination and having gone through something. Smart is now but not necessarily knowing the consequences of where that smart will lead. We should get oscars in our older age just for surviving what we have gone through and being able to mentor and pass that on to the next generation. We need to make big bucks to pass that wisdom on. I wish....have an excellent day. It is an excellent Tuesday. I pass that on to you. Hugs.
