too young/too old

i'm going to my first "grown-up" retreat for women this weekend. i expect to be one of the youngest members of this retreat, which is fine. i'm sort of excited to spend the weekend with middle-aged ladies and go to sessions, dinners, and worship times together.
i've never been to a retreat where the focus isn't on young people. i look forward to hearing what the sessions will be about. i suppose it will be similar to the sermons i hear at the various churches i attend- but i think it might be different.
it might be weird, it might be frustrating, it might be awkward, but i don't care. bring it on. it's better than sitting at home.
it will be a great time to get to know my colleague who invited me to this retreat. i work with her, and i would say she is the closest thing i have to a friend in the town i live in.
i just hope i behave myself, keep an open mind, have time for a nap, and be relaxed enough to get to know the women around me better.
