When are you too old to try new things? I don't think there is an age where it becomes inappropriate to try new things, but there has to be some truth to the old adage, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks".
The older we get the less likely we are to want to try new things. We become "set in our ways." We have preferences and definite likes and dislikes. We know which restaurants we want to patronize, we have a set schedule for going to the bathroom, and we don't like change.
We like to know that we can expect to go grocery shopping on Saturday mornings, that Friday night is "ladies night" and that someone will always be there to greet us when we come home. But things don't stay the same do they? Change is inevitable.
One day we will reach our final frontier, and begin the last chapter of our lives, but while it remains unwritten, let's seize the day and make the most of it, while we can choose to shape how it will end.
