The problem seem to be that without the wisdom you gain as you get old, continuously taking risks seems a little more dangerous. At least it has been for me!

Being right all of the time sounds like a lot of work. It’s good to be wrong once in a while. It keeps you grounded.

They may understand and they may not. At my age (70) I just really don’t care. Fear of failure disappeared somewhere along the way. I like that a lot.

Great post.

Thank you.

As we grow old we all have earned the right to be ourselves. Those of us who blog know this time honored secret. It is what it is!

Take care!

That and comfortable shoes will get you far, and let you enjoy the journey.

it is a survival instinct to be more wary, as opposed to thinking, “hey, I really think I can take up skateboarding…ooops! I was wrong!”
result: broken ego & broken hip.

I’m glad to hear that it is as good a personality trait as I always hoped.
