Like Fine Wine

Yesterday I attended my daughter's first book club meeting. A few months ago she and her book club partner selected #GIRLBOSS for the group to read.

I enjoyed it and thought it was great for young women their age, but I also pulled out some nuggets that I could use myself.

We didn't actually get into the book as we're going to do that at the next meeting. This meeting was primarily for introductions and how we'd like the group to function.

One of the topics we discussed was communication and what method of communication would work best.

Now mind you...I am the ONLY person MY age in the group. All of the other young ladies are my daughter's age...23-ish.

So they're tossing around ideas and platforms that I've never even heard of, until one of them mentioned Facebook. My eyes lit up. FINALLY...a form of social media that I'm actually aware of.

As soon as she mentioned Facebook, the other young ladies said, "Yeah...but who uses that???"

I wanted to crawl under my chair.

You see...I use Facebook...EVERYDAY. It's where I upload my blog posts. It's where I share my daily Bible reading. It's actually my favorite (and most used) form of social media.

Yeah, I'm on The Twitter (I said "The" on purpose) and send out an occasional tweet.

I'm also on Instagram and post occasional pics of flowers, butterflies or anything else in nature that has caught my eye on a particular day.

But Facebook...that's where it's at for me!

What I learned yesterday was that Facebook is not where's it's at for the younger crowd. Guess that means I'm gonna hafta "git with it" and learn some new stuff...which is one of the benefits of hangin' with the "youngins."

So yeah...most days I don't feel my age. I was 42 for about FIVE years. Not that I even FEEL 42 (I truly only feel "20-something")...it's just the age that stuck in my head, years AFTER my 42nd birthday. But YESTERDAY...man! I felt like the Gramma in the group.

Anywhoo...I look forward to what I can learn from the "younger generation." They're so "tech savvy," which I could stand to be more of...so all in all, I already know that this'll be a good thing. And who knows...maybe they'll learn a thing or two from lil ol' me.

How 'bout you?

Let the DIALOGUE begin: How old do YOU feel? And is that anywhere near you ACTUAL age?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
