How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?
And now for something different. Amid the holiday hustle, there yet remain some profound moments of reflection as we wrap up a year and launch into a new one. Or, perhaps it is the very sentimental and nostalgic nature of Christmas trees, candy canes, and Christmas Vacation reruns that prods us into a reflective posture.
For your consideration, how old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?
Loaded question. This gets you to asking question like:
What’s the secret to those jolly older people who seem younger on the inside than they look on the outside?
How does your health or health condition have you feeling these days?
What do you look like in your mind’s eye vs. what you see in the mirror?
What is the intrinsic beauty of older age and of youth?
What’s so bad about either age or youth anyway?
What adjustments could I make to align myself with where I want to be?
What are my expectations (realistic and unrealistic) for certain ages?
I don’t think there is a right answer here. Yet, these questions and especially the big question may lead you down a path of wonderment and into some positive adjustments.
