This blog is not about politics. This blog is about change.

As a young adult, I was a left wing liberal. My father, on the other hand, was a right wing conservative. We used to love butting heads over politics. I was the “meat-head” to his Archie Bunker. My father would end every argument with these words, “You’ll see that I’m right when you get older.” I would just laugh in response.

Lately, I wonder if my father’s prophecy was right. Every so often I will say something and my husband, whom himself is a bit of a conservative, will laugh and say, “If your father could only hear you now.” And, I have to admit, while I do still consider myself liberal in my thinking, I have ventured a bit towards the middle as I have gotten older.

As I have recognized this change in myself, I have wondered whether my father’s prediction was grounded in his own experience. And, since I can’t ask him (at least not without the help of the Long Island Medium), I’m asking you Gotham. Have you shared my experience? Have you found yourself changing your point  of view as you have gotten older?
