We reflect the age of those around us.

Do you find yourself acting and feeling differently as you relate to people of different ages?  I mean actually acting and feeling like you personally are living those ages?

When we are with little children it is almost natural to talk baby talk and to play.  Our age doesn’t change but our comportment does.

During the years that I worked at a university, I identified strongly with the students.  Interacting with young adults on a daily basis kept me up-to-date on the vocabulary, fads and interests of that age group.  Even though I was the teacher, I mirrored this age group constantly and internally felt like one of them in many instances.

This is also a good argument for having people of all generations in our lives.  Diversity brings a richness of opinions, approaches, and experiences.  Find ways to meet and interact with people of all ages.  It provides a great way to live and relive various stages of life.
