WE ARE A GENERATION THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK.

Thank you. I had made some posts and deleted them because I genuinely don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. When you dissent about a generation and point out messed up things with the generation while everyone is being all rosy about the past they get a little upset. I decided to go along to get along. I have to remember that the Boomer generation was the first generation to have public education that taught them what to think and not how to think and it's only gotten worse with Gen X,Y, Millenials. As I've pointed out it really is about the setting and the parenting, not timeframes.

I am genuinely concerned for people like my 74 year old mother in law who reminesses ALL the time. Everything is a story about something that happened in the past. She's fairly rotund and will say things like, "I was 98 pounds when I got married." (she's 5'2"). My wife's Father died so there are a lot of "Remember-when's" about that. The further back the memory the better the times.

Everything seems to be "Today sucks/ Set your mind back to yesteryear" thinking. It's a very flawed way to live your life. If I'm seeing Mark post this same post 3 times a year what am I to think? I think he needs support and to be reminded of how great life is, if not for the simple fact that you woke up this morning. As I tell my Mother In Law, make some memories today!
