Watched the funeral of President Bush yesterdsy. Was a beautiful ceramony. As the last of our parents, the“Greatest Generation” passes on, I thought of the world in which we children, the “Baby Boomers” of that generation grew up in. We will be the last of an era too, the last generation of the “kinder and gentler” nation. A time when life was slower, families spent time together, we respected our neighbors and our elders, we played and went to school without fear, people took time for and helped each other. Our “social media” was the Evening News, the neighbors porch, the social gatherings. And as we age we still carry those kinder and gentler things with us. We care about our neighbors, our friends, families, church. We volunteer, we give back. In today’s world of mass communication, social media, mass shootings, political divisions etc., we are a dying breed. I am so grateful to have been born in that time of the “kinder and gentler”nation.
And so, with that thought, I will wish you all a nice day wherever you are. Time to push the dust cloth around here before the dust bunnies carry me off
