Older…and nicer???

I starting to realize that I have changed significantly over the last few years. I’m much nicer now than I was before. I can even hold my tongue these days and not be itching for a grim comeback when someone is saying something I don’t approve of.

Have any of you other golden oldies experienced this?

So this ‘nice’ thing… what’s that like?

I have observed some nice people turn into old crabs when they get old. Other nice people don't change at all.

Combined with observations on the effect of age on energy levels, I have reached a conclusion.

Some nice people are not really nice. They are putting on an act. But the older you get, the harder it is to keep up the act. So as they age, we find out what they are really like, and how much they have been acting all these years.

(This has nothing to do with your topic directly, Suz, but it connects further on down the tracks.)

As for GETTING NICER as you age, I think that mostly comes from learning what to not stress about, and how much a lot of things don't really matter.

and maybe, growing in the grace and knowledge of the Lord? He is truly faithful to change us.

I've known a few mediums. None of them were happy. They were all pretty gloomy.

Should the plural of medium be media?

The media is (are?) pretty gloomy these days, but that's an aside....
