Old is relative and so is hard times

I met a 60 year-old lady at the airport and she and I got to talking and sharing little bits about each other. She was a hip lady - she was wearing boots with at least 2-3 inch heels, skinny jeans, was showing her bra with cleavage, and her hair was spikey. She was flying to San Diego where her son, his wife and kids live and she said that she can't stand the weather down there - she said that she doesn't like warm weather - she prefers the cool weather in the Bay Area. I always thought that San Diego weather was perfect and so I asked how she felt about Las Vegas weather. She had a real disgusted expression on her face and said "the last time I was there was 1968. I remember I was in my mid twenty's and didn't know a thing about the world. I can't believe how naive I used to be." Mind you that I did not reveal my age to her, but it's just funny that she specifically said her mid-twenties.

I was thinking "I'm in my mid-twenties?!" - someone can still look at me as a young & naive person - I'm starting to think a lot of things are relative - that there's always going to be someone who is older than you, less wealthier than you, has a harder life than you do - so really should just enjoy what we have =)
