We are grown ups who are still growing.
We are in transition, sifting through our obligations, possessions and priorities, discarding whats no longer meaningful, focusing on what is.
Were boomers, mid-lifers, middle-aged folks, we work at home or in the office, we are contemplating retirement, semi-retired, retired, damned if we will ever retire.
We are parents, grandparents, childless, children of aging parents. We are single. married, divorced, gay, straight. We are dog lovers or cat lovers or both.
We have experienced loss and pain, and have learned and loved and are still learning and loving. Weve journeyed to the state where we are comfortable in our own skinmost of the time. Weve gained knowledge and wisdom, but are wise enough to know we don't know it all.
Many of us became computer literate before there was a World Wide Web. Now some of us are LinkedIn, Facebooked, and Twittered. Then again, many of us dont know a poke from a tweet.
Some of us ducked and covered, many of us remember when JFK was shot, more remember when man first landed on the moon. We didnt trust anyone over 30until we hit our late 20s. We made 40 the new 30, and continue to redefine each age and stage of life we pass. We arent anti-aging, we are pro aging well.
Does that answer the question?
