What is something others do that sparks your admiration?
Others who I admire have changed as I grow older and hopefully wiser.
In my younger years, particularly, in high school when I got into watch a certain soap opera of, “General Hospital,” primarily the story of Luke and Laura. This show became a weekday obsession. My admiration of the younger actors/actresses making history on this show.
In college, I started admiring a couple of professors who were intelligent, smart and had a sense of humor. The school was part of Michigan State University that had a flight school and a maritime academy which students who attended these areas of study I admired for each taking risks in their chosen professions of air and of water.
Post college, I admired people in my class who got the job after interviewing senior year in job fairs. Two of my old roommates received offers and accepted employment by connections made at school.
Later on in life post divorce, I admired people who had successful marriages of commitment and loyalty. I used to admire my parent’s relationship as a married couple. Unfortunately, I have learned truths about their life together that’s far from admirable.
As I become 64 years old, the people who overcame obstacles in life while playing the game fairly and honestly are the ones who I admire. The average person who’s willing to work hard to use the funds for college, for marriage, for travel and for retirement.
In closing, who or what we admire is a reflection of ourselves that, fortunately, can change as we mature. Choose wisely.

64 Years seem like a long time to grow old. But they’re not the last stage. By this age, we’ve already gained all the experiences of life.But I think you are still a child, a young woman who can present her writing and her thoughts beautifully.You have been a professor, a daughter, a wife, and a student. You’ve seen many of life’s colors. It’s better to see what we are to ourselves than what we are to others. Your blog is very interesting.
