ON THE BACK BURNER

I was thinking how age becomes less of an issue as one gets older.People seem to catch up with you or the other way around, everyone just becomes age-less. My niece is visiting and I realized that the relationship becomes more friend then aunt- niece, as we both get older. Maybe because at a certain point in life, we all are basically the same. When I was ten, a teenager seemed unapproachable . At 80, A almost 60 year old has caught up to me with experiences. That,s a really nice thing. I like thinking that I am not so outdated that I can , except maybe for music, be friends with people of all ages. Isn't it true that 70 is the new 50? So maybe 80 is the new 60. That might be pushing the envelope, maybe 65.!
