All these things have happened in my lifetime and yes the years that have gone by do make me feel older but I am alive and that is great!

Daily Prompt: Age
Age they say is just a number, its also a statement of your life. Each number you reach is a witness to history both personal and global. Your age means different things at different points in your life. Thirteen you become a teenager, sixteen you get to drive, eighteen you become an adult, twenty-one you get to drink (in the USA) and much later at 65-70 you think about retirement. So the older you get the more you get to experience. Age is generational and how you relate to others can be impacted by the differences in ones age. Now age can be a good thing with cheese, wine and antiques. Their value increases the older they get. At this point in my life I am trying to remain relevant and to understand the world around me. Enjoy every age you become because you are a different person each year you become.
Get Out Of Your Comfort Zone
Getting out of your comfort zone requires stepping out into unchartered territory, meeting people who are different from you and perhaps picking up on the language they speak. I also think it means meeting people half way and being willing to listen and understand. Yeah it can be scary but so rewarding in the end. Growth comes from being challenged.

Age doesn’t define everything about you.
Blog Of Ages
It’s cool when bloggers of all ages connect and that our ages are just numbers. This is a world where our shared passion of blogging is what matters most. In my relationships with other bloggers I am probably the crazy cousin or uncle but I would rather just be me.
Really where else would someone in their early 20’s be friends with someone in their 40’s or 50’s and it be no big deal. I am grateful for the insights that I get from people who are older and younger than myself. Each of us have struggled and are discovering what it is to struggle in life and that makes this whole thing more fascinating.
We are all different and we all have different things that drive us. Our passions come from our influences and how we look at things in life.
So the blog of ages is about you and me and how we share our hearts and minds with others to make things better.
Just so you know…
I am a middle-aged dork who seeks to bridge generations and to relate to others. People are people when it comes down to it and we all can gain from the experiences of younger and older folks. I believe in treating a 20 year old and a 70 year old the same and that is with respect, dignity and a little bit of love. One thing I have learned from blogging is that we are more alike than different and that our age is nothing but a number. Of course we should always keep things on the up and up in this crazy world we live in.
