The New Midlife: Blogging Boomers Carnival #73
June 9, 2008
You know that horrid expression: You can’t teach old dog new tricks. Far too many people believe it and happily, it’s not true. Midlife can be a time of re-invention, if you want it to be. More and more boomers are eager to try new adventures, lifestyles and places as you’ll read in edition #73 of the Blogging Bloomers Carnival.
Turns out older workers are the new ‘high potential’ folks in the workplace. Don’t let anyone tell you that older workers are less creative, flexible or adaptable than younger workers… head over to Contemporary Retirement, where some common myths are dispelled.
Boomers are discovering that “senior moments” are becoming very familiar. Most common of these mental glitches is the temporary inability to recall a name or a number or what you were about to do. Learn how to make new members and keep the one ones at So Baby Boomer
A new optimism is sweeping our land that’s reminiscent of an earlier time. Don’t Gel Yet shares her recollection of the death of Robert Kennedy (I was in LA that night) and all that came before and after in what my graduating class of 1968 called “the year that changed the world.” It really was quite a time to be young.
I Remember JFK tells about the days when attorneys were first able to advertise and the impact that may have on common sense. New times, new lawyer marketing is all about relationships now.
Who of us hasn’t fantasized about walking away from “middle age” and traveling the U.S. in a converted bus for a year really living? Someone did it and wrote a poignant and hilarious account of their adventures in “Queen of the Road”. Come read about new adventures that await you on LifeTwo.com
Fifty is the new sexy- have you seen Karen Allen lately? Keeping fit can be fashionable, as The Glam Gals found out this. Check out Fabulous after 40 to read about a great new exercise bra that helps to monitor your heart rate!
There’s nothing like a new love, especially when it arrives a little later in life. Midlife Crisis Queen recounts her own story of falling in love.
Finally, with all these changes afoot, how about a new hometown, too? The Boomer Chronicles tells you where you can go when you retire, and it ain’t Miami Beach!
