We are the elders of our time

As women over 60, I believe we are the Elders of Our Time. An Elder can be defined as a Leader or influential senior figure in a tribe or other group; one worthy of dignity and respect. But is this how we see ourselves? Do we see ourselves as a burden or a benefit to society? Yes, it’s true others may see us as a burden, well past our use-by-date. If we accept that judgement, then it will be so. When we value our contribution to our families, to society and the global community then we step into the reason for our being. 
Right here, right now.
