Younger people don't pay as much attention to us as they did in past generations. Or at least that is what we hear, that in the past it was better. Sometimes real wisdom does come from the young. Most people are moving so fast these days, it's hard for them to slow down and dig below the surface to find the wisdom that is there for those who ask, look take a minute to talk.<br /><br /><a href="http://findingeliza.com/" rel="nofollow">Finding Eliza</a>Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-16682916617371534272016-04-27T23:42:40.432+08:002016-04-27T23:42:40.432+08:00You are so right, unfortunately, we don't valu...You are so right, unfortunately, we don't value wisdom as much as we should. I have many wonderful older women in my life. They are wise! I learn from them and reach out to them for counsel. There is def something to be said about life experience. That being said, I think my two children are so wise. They have a deep understanding and perspective about life that is extremely helpful to me, as well.
