Age is just a number

Richard J Edwards 1960 (Ft Belvoir)



As my mind searches through all the wonderful music it raises my emotion that's tied into so much of life's events. The right song takes you back in time maybe when you were a teenager or a young adult just starting out and you felt that your music made an already awesome time even better. With every ten years we reach another mile stone of our age group and memories start to build up in a reflection kind of demeanor and now you are an age you acused others of being old at. Stay calm don't have a crisis. No one likes getting older however there are so many perks like now making your age an excuse to get out of something. Work smarter not harder. There's that wisdom that supposed to come with age. This will be our little secret if you are stupid at 30 you'll be stupid at 60. But see the only ones that know that are the ones who are now 60. Now that's wisdom. As we get older we have to have learned how to spin a few balls of yarn in other words commit a snow job on others that are not in the know. Getting older doesn't have to be wollering in reflection and memories we can like I said use our age to our advantage and mess with people.
