None of us exist in a vacuum. As humans, we are always involved – or at least have the option to be involved – in some sort of a relationship, whether it is as children, growing up with our parents, our siblings, our aunts, uncles and cousins. Our grandparents. And now, as many of us have aged into becoming parents of adult children, we have the opportunity to enjoy becoming grandparents. (Literally or through informally “adopting” kids who we recognize could benefit from access to a grandparent figure.)
Of course, not all of us grew up in an “Ozzie and Harriet”-style Family. Some of us were orphaned, some became children of Divorce, and still others had the opportunity to form strong bonds with special teachers, adult friends or neighbors. Again, for Boomers, there was never just one official “one-and-only” way to enjoy relationships.
Regardless, we now understand that socialization is important for people of all ages. A 2017 study performed at Michigan State and published in Frontiers of Psychology found that valuing friendships was a strong predictor of Health and happiness among older adults. Now that we know this, we all need to take advantage of opportunities to socialize whenever possible. We hope to explore a variety of relationships here.

 The sun rises, the seasons change, opportunities appear, and
challenges arrive. The universe is not sitting somewhere keeping score, handing
out rewards to some and hardships to others. Storms come. Gardens grow. People enter
our lives and people leave. Some days bring joy, while others bring disappointment.
Life unfolds without asking for our permission and often without explaining itself.
Many people spend years wondering why certain things happened
to them. Was it bad luck? Was it fate? Was it destiny? Was it meant to be?
Perhaps those questions matter less than we think.
Luck may expl…

and a stubborn refusal to do things the way our parents did. We changed society

Let's be honest. We (Baby Boomers) have never been great at admitting
we are aging. From the moment we arrived on the scene, we had a mission, a vision,
and a stubborn refusal to do things the way our parents did. We changed society
so thoroughly that life today barely resembles the 1950s, and honestly, thank goodness
for that.
But here we are. The first boomers are turning 80, and we are
celebrating it. And somehow, miraculously, we still seem to think we are perpetually
young. Denial is a powerful thing.
One role we never planned for? Grandparent.
As parents, we were determined to do thin…

What does it really mean to live a successful life? Is success measured by the money we earn, the titles we hold, or the possessions we accumulate? Or is it measured by something much greater, the impact we leave on the lives of others? The truth is that every conversation, every act of kindness, every lesson we share, and every opportunity we create has the potential to influence someone in ways we may never fully understand. Long after accomplishments fade and awards are forgotten, people remember how we made them feel, how we encouraged them, and whether we helped them become a better versi…
