Children tend to be very accepting and non-judgmental, and seniors tend to be wise and at a reflective stage of life, so its not surprising you get along with both groups.

I also have a very special connection to these groups. I have actually worked both with children and seniors. Partly because I knew I'd enjoy working with them. My appreciation for both children and seniors is really high. I think people generally don't give enough credit to how smart small children are. Often we are condescending to them, we speak down to them, but they are so smart. And often we don't appreciate the lessons seniors have to teach us based on their experience.

I am a better person for having worked with both groups.

This reflection came out of me today because my sister who was visiting due to Christmas this afternoon was talking about her 26 year old nephew from her husband's family and she was talking about how he was single now and my mom mentioned something about us going out (we don't know each other) but my sister seemed a bit against the idea. In her opinion he was a 10 in looks and nicer than me and out of my league. I don't know I saw a picture and didn't think he was a 10 and she's not either but anyway, it kind of hurt me like. Am I not good enough for someone my age? I know I'm not a 10 but I don't think I would be that bad looking for someone who was different. I don't know, it's just made me feel bad. I seem to not be able to attract the men I want and most of the men I attract (especially lately) are not good enough and sometimes really on a low spectrum. The last guy who tried to hit on me didn't even have all his teeth (possibly due to drugs) and told a contradictory story about his life and pretended to be single and he wasn't even my age supposedly. He was older.
