I know many people of my own age and older who regularly go on adventure travels, still swim or play sport or go to the gym, read the latest books, see the newest movies and discuss popular culture.<br /><br />One thing I've noticed is that most of these oldies have a wide range of friends, age-wise. Not usually the twenty or thirty-somethings, but people twenty or thirty years younger than they are, as well as contemporaries and near comtemps. By and large, people under forty have different goals and interests and so don't feel drawn to the elderly, but people 40+ are often more adaptable and can form a bridge between generations. <br /><br />Limiting our friendships to our own generation is a sure way to grow old quickly and to lose touch with the modern world.Satima Flavellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427849961195148899noreply@blogger.com
