PROOF...WISDOM REALLY DOES COME WITH AGE.

The bright lights on Temple Square have been taken down, but Temple Square is still a special place for a family outing.  This is the Cook family enjoying the Christmas light down town.  The temple is the center of the city.  It looks pretty cold.......
Winston Churchill famously said; "We make a living by what we get.  We make a life by what we give."  The older you get the more this makes sense.  Wisdom comes with age the article says........New research at Texas A&M University in College Station found that older adults are better able to evaluate both the immediate and delayed benefits of decisions than young adults are.  That is because younger people primarily use the brain's ventral striatum (related to reflexive learning and impulsivity) to make choices.  But aging prompts the brain to shift decision-making to the prefrontal cortices, the area that controls rational, deliberate thinking.   So I guess there are some benefits to getting old.....but not many.   Be thankful for what you have and you will end up having more. Whereas if you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never have enough!  WOW......26 degrees today!
