All the things that we do know are not exactly the same as when we were in our 20s. I was reading the newspaper today and there was a story about a chap whom had taken his father backpacking in the Greek islands. His dad is 78 and he said that he had trouble keeping up with him. Now that’s staying young. There is a woman I know in her 70’s that describes how she feels the same inside now as she did when she was 21. And it shows outside. It’s something more than just staying young. It’s probably due to several things.
Who says you can’t try new tastes, new places, and new styles and come to have a “mind shift” in which you don’t just sit and do the same thing each and every day. It’s not going for safe options it’s being abreast of what is happening, not giving up things because one thinks they are not able to do it. If your young by way of age ~ pondering that one here myself ~ but one day you will probably come to ponder on it.
Staying young is the ability to be in a state of mind that takes on things in a manner that is enjoyable. Each person is different and each person has different situations going on in their own life – yet the ability to gain in the areas of life that one desires is something that only does come to be complicated. And so very often that complicated ponder is held close to the heart waiting to unveil itself with another – which leads to friendships, trust, and all that was mentioned before.
Today I had the pleasure of speaking to a man that runs one very great company. Within our talk we were sitting and sharing different thoughts with regards to work and what this company was doing and it lead into several other things in which we share. He loves photography, his girlfriend is from a city I used to live in and he goes there each month. And we left off with meeting up again during lunch. I asked him a question with regards to the people that he has working for him. And how he views the manner of society and where it’s going. He indicated to me that he has seen so many things that he really does not have any understanding of it all, but if I was to sit amongst it all he said that he is sure that I would come to a very quick understanding on how people seem to be, and added a few things and we had a laugh. We were not talking about the age of people but the way of people. Not in a cynical manner as this was a really good chap, he had started off working in one area and it lead into several other areas. As far as he was concerned - life is an easygoing thing. At the end of the lunch I was leaving and he asked me if I kept my camera with me. We both laughed, as it was something that we had in common, and within the hobbies and things that we take on, we both had something in common. A small worked if you ask me.
Being around the same age, when leaving his office I could see that he had a daughter – so he must have went through a divorce, but yet he moved past it. Why did he, probably there was no choice, why did he have an attitude as such – I think part of it was that he was comfortable in having a conversation on business which led into other things. Interesting enough his company is one of the largest companies that services commercial airlines in Internationally. But his life was not based on the company, it was based on his lifestyle. Hence, we all do have a common thread. Not everyone, but some of us within what we write. And how we tend to writing. As it’s all in the manner in how we approach things. Aside of that it seems that a cold front is coming - but within three months it shall pass.
