I tend to agree with galenkp on this. As you grow older your perspective changes and you can discover something different in a place or experience you have visited before. After a gap of twelve years, my wife and I revisited a part of the country where we used to live. This time we didn't have children in tow and we could do different things as well as looking at the place through the lens of twelve years of other experiences.

You are right though honeydue about doing different things in order to grow. I did my first horse riding lesson at the age of 60 a couple of weeks ago and threw myself out of a plane a few years back - with a parachute on I hasten to add! Things like this all add richness to one's life.

Thanks for the post and I look forward to reading more.
