Do you ever here children speak on wanting to be older, grown or better yet, "I can't wait until it's my birthday." I have heard it numerous times and the thoughts that come to mind are, with an increase in age there is an increase in responsibility. You are expected to be better, learn responsibly and grow mentally, as a kid physically too. The more we grow, the wiser we should become.

We are creatures of pattern and habit but also living, growing organisms. We aren't made to be stagnant but to learn and grow. As kids in school the grade level above the one we were currently enrolled, required us to grow some more. Grade school also built on some of the principles we learned earlier in our school career, to advance our minds to think a little further. So we learn in life too even as we get older, we are looked at to be a little more wiser. Building on what we know to advance to where we are going.

It's my birthday today but I want parade as a kid. The older I become, the more I grow. Aging like fine wine over a measure of time. I will still have fun but I will continue to grow in understanding and wisdom. My heart will continue to crave to be better than before, that's as a person and creatively too. The older I become, the more I grow.
