We all age. Undoubtedly, we all try to keep the effects of aging at bay. How does this experience bring us together? What divine wisdom is gained from aging that we can share with younger generations? To some it is a blessing to grow old, to others it may be a curse. What does it mean to you to age, and how can others around you relate?

Below are some questions to help you evaluate or become more aware of how experiencing the aging process can bring you together to connect with others.

How does it serve you, and where can you make changes? Where are your challenges related to aging? When experiencing competing points of view, how does age make a difference?
