Sandi L Boucher shares an elder's advice from a seminar: when you need to rant, sit by water, quiet yourself, find the real problem, and fix it. Then she asks what you do that proves you're not an elder yet.

Okay, let's have some fun, because I got a question for you. Last week, I was doing a seminar, and I was in charge of the one activity, and I was trying to help the participants identify their support network. So I was asking them questions like, who do you call when you have some great news to share? You're really happy? Or who do you call when you're upset? And the last question was, who do you call when you're upset? Like, you got a really good rant on that you have to get out who you call to that will allow you to rent. It was an elders conference. One of the elders pointed out, while you really shouldn't be renting that, if you feel the need, you have to quiet yourself, go sit by the water, determine what is upsetting you, and take steps to rectify that. In other words, amazing freaking elder advice. Clearly establishing I am not an elder. So that's the question for today. What do you do that clearly establishes you're not an elder? I can't wait to see the comments.
