"We are all in this together. We need each other, Oh, how we need each other. Those of us who are old need you who are young. And, hopefully, you who are young need some of us who are old. It is a sociological fact that women need women. We need deep and satisfying and loyal friendships with each other. These friendships are a necessary source of sustenance. We need to renew our faith every day. We need to lock arms and help build the kingdom so that it will roll forth and fill the whole earth".
Marjorie Pay Hinckley
I think the older I get the more I seem to understand this beautiful statement.
How I treasure my friendships. I have a better understanding of younger people and so, more compassion. I am not so quick to tell them what they should do, because I have learned that there truly are no real answers. Mostly we just want to be listened to and loved.
I think that's why I loved my Grama so much. She was so sweet. She pretty much just gave us all her unconditional love.
That's probably why I do so well with the younger set.
I get them. They don't really want to be told what to do.
They just want loves and to have somebody around who listens to them.
They don't even care what you look like, whether
you have makeup on, or what you wear!?!
