Now I'm sort of a helicopter gunship -- I'll attack if they're endangered, I'll protect if they are threatened and I'll airlift them out for R&R if they start to struggle... At 3 - 7 'Life is Good'. At 8 - 11 "Life is Tough'. At 12 - 15 'Life can be Crap'. Hoovering is good... I ‘helicoptered’ until about age 4.

A related issue is Obama’s membership in Generation Jones (between the Boomers and Generation X). I’ve seen quite a few very credible experts emphatically insist that Obama is part of GenJones; if Obama’s generational identity is of interest to you, you should definitely click this link…it goes to a page filled with lots of articles and video of famous people arguing that Obama is a GenJoneser: http://www.generationjones.com/2008election.html Cool blog, and especially like the name BoomerDivaNation.

I can still wear a belt, and they don't make too many outfits for us that use one. They all look like matronly tunics or make me look like I'm pregnant. I would love to have a sexy and practicle wardrobe. This is frustrating for me, too. I can still wear a belt, and they don’t make too many outfits for us that use one.

So I try to find the lesson I'm supposed to learn from the experience and then let go of it once I feel that God has told me it's time. Not always easy. Sometimes it's better in hindsight as I look at my life now and then look back at the junk that at the time seemed like a problem, but now I realize was bringing me to where I am today. That can make it a little easier to release some of the excess baggage being carried through life. Good topic, Bev.

]]> Comment on Too Much Social Networking Isn’t Good For You by rosie http://www.boomerdivanation.org/bdnhome/too-much-social-networking-isnt-good-for-you/#comment-429 rosie Sun, 02 Nov 2008 02:04:55 +0000 http://www.boomerdivanation.org/?p=399#comment-429 Social networking is much like shopping. You go in for one thing and come out with much more. You are distracted by a sale yet it is good therapy (so you feel) to do it. It is even more fun with others. Yet many purchased items may not get worn, end up on E-bay, or hidden in the closet or packed in the attic. But oh it was so much fun when you did it. Social networking is fun but if there is not a plan and purpose, in my opinion it is a waste of time. I think we should be honest with ourselves if it is a theraputic intervention and systematic if it is adding to our SEO(Search Engine Optimization) or relationship marketing efforts. Anyway, thanks for this post,made me reflect even more. Social networking is much like shopping. You go in for one thing and come out with much more.

Challenges make us take stock of our inventory and decide what we can keep in our baggage and what we need to cast away once we've overcome it. I love this topic. I'm going to bring it up with my therapist. Thanks!
