The Importance of Relationships for Baby Boomers
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.

Why Do We Gamble? Gambling, an activity where something of value is risked in hopes of gaining something of greater value, intrigues millions worldwide. What drives people to gamble? For many, it’s the excitement and unpredictability of the game. The possibility of winning big is enough to make the risk worthwhile. Gambling also offers a psychological thrill, with studies showing that the brain releases dopamine, the “feel-good” neurotransmitter, during gambling activities. The allure of potentially striking it rich keeps players coming back, but it’s essential to understand the psych…

The Casino Experience for Baby Boomers Casinos and gambling have been part of human culture for centuries. From the ancient Chinese to the Romans, civilizations have always engaged in games of chance. Over time, these games became more organized, leading to the establishment of modern-day casinos. In the 17th century, the first official casino, Casino di Venezia, opened its doors in Italy, setting a precedent for the casino industry. This historical context shows that gambling isn’t a new phenomenon but one deeply ingrained in cultural traditions. One of the most significant contr…

When certain people in your life prefer the old you instead of the new one, you may face their resistance and maybe even their frustration. When you learn, heal and grow, you let go of old dysfunctions and sometimes even old relationships if they can't adjust to the new you.
