Age DOES matter!

I believe that an important part of my life is the different groups of friends that I have. I have friends of all ages from twenty to fifty+ years of age. Each one of my friends brings something great to our relationship...

Friendships with people older than me bring OPTIMISM into my life. I listen to their stories and hear how they have gotten through the toughest of times. I get words of wisdom and encouragement. I am optimistic that things will always get better, and I will become stronger and more knowledgeable as time goes by.

Friendships with people my age bring UNDERSTANDING into my life. I see my friends go through many of the same life events that I am going through. I see the struggles, and I see the good times. I understand that we are all just trying to make it in life, and I see that we are all full of hope and questions about what's next.

Friendships with people younger than me bring CONFIDENCE to my life. I see my friends go through events that I have been through. I am able to give my friends optimism and understanding about what they are going through. I feel confident because I made it through that chapter of life, and I can help my friends keep going too!
