At The Risk . . .

. . . of being trite . . .


Sometimes those things we take for granted must be mentioned and therefore their benefits extolled, no matter how hackneyed the words may sound.  The one that crossed my mind recently, though in all honesty it crosses my mind frequently, was friendship.

I recently saw an amusing flick entitled 'Last Vegas', starring four, mature, male cinema icons, focus of which was friendship.  Ageing was also an important element of the plot, but friendship (in my view) was the primary topic.

I am fortunate enough to have some friends whom I consider the very best.  I do not boast an inordinately large number, but I'll match quality against quantity any day.  They range from recently found to almost forty years.  In fact, some of those older relationships had a lull between their inception and the present, but that many even account for the strength and richness they possess at the present time.

Aging or improving?. . .

There comes a time when certain facts must be faced. One fact, from which there is no hiding, is that I am getting old. Who isn't. Technically, one begins aging immediately after conception.

After a 'funerial' weekend, one can't help but ponder such concepts to some extent.

With regard to aging though, truth be told, it has advantages. I have finally reached a point where I have a lot more confidence than I had twenty years ago (boy, sure wish I HAD such confidence twenty years ago) and I actually like where I am. And I like being around young people, something that I didn't think too much about when I was a young person. I like the enthusiasm of younger people. And I don't necessarily feel a need to add my verbal two cents (unless I'm asked) while they are expressing their views with sincere, unwaivering conviction. I have even found that if I shut up and listen well, I can also learn something in the process.

Oh yeah, while writing this and checking email simultaneously, I received a message that says, "Attractive Senior single online looking for You!"
