Does Matter
I think she has a very valid point here. And I can speak from some experience...
Just having a blog, or two...makes me different from most elders. But I still have to remain focused in order to remain ready for changes. I know that the majority of elders that I come into contact with are firmly entrenched in the past and so I have to keep a lot of my thoughts to myself. Of course that doesn't always work and I get some strange looks from them when I espouse some new idea. Sigh.
Despite the fact that I wish it weren't so, I do rely more and more on the 'old ideas' to help me make decisions. I have to force myself to look at new ideas, new thoughts, and I think that's a good exercise for us as we age. Don't be so accepting of the old. Look for something new. But will John do that? I really doubt it.
