The Baby Boomer is a worrier. Yep, always have been and always will be. My dad was a worrier and both our daughter, Baby Bear, and son, The King (although he won’t admit it), are worriers too-it’s in our DNA. I have, over time, been more able to only worry about things in my control which is say’in something for […]
In Part I we examined the importance of evaluating data in your life which represents objective balance. Now, in Part II the Baby Boomer will discuss the subjective balance in the importance of evaluating character. Being able to evaluate character leaves the mind behind as you tend to rely on “gut” feelings and your heart being careful not to let […]
Throughout the Baby Boomer’s career, he was constantly inundated with data and with the advent of technology in the workplace, the data overload was immense. Not realizing the importance of data and not making the commitment and dedication it takes to dig in and evaluate data will result in drastically negatively affecting your career. But even more importantly, not doing […]
Most people associate wealth with vast amounts of money. Certainly, acquiring financial security is important allowing you to enjoy comfortably “enough” of what life has to offer with both family and friends always remembering if you’re fortunate to have “enough” to please give the “excess” away. We addressed this earlier in my post, “The Letter ‘E’ and What it Should […]
It’s the Baby Boomer’s belief that for every stimulus there is a response and for every decision there is a consequence. A successful sustainable existence requires a well-defined structure where goals are set and performance is evaluated. The key or let’s say the glue to keep this structure together is accountability defined as the willingness to accept responsibility for one’s […]
Spring is just around the corner beginning this year on March 20th. The Baby Boomer bets if you took a survey, most would respond that Spring was their favorite season. One thing’s for sure, it’s my favorite season. Why? Well, for me Spring represents the time of my life when I was growing up in Arlington “back in the day” […]
It was “back in the day”, sixty-five years ago, in Arlington, and attending Wilson Elementary School where the “Big 4” came together and are still friends today except for the unfortunate fact that we’ve just lost one of the “Big 4”. It’s truly been a tough few days reflecting and coming to the realization that we are indeed mortal–nobody gets […]
This question is often asked of guests on television shows and talk radio. It seemingly goes “hand in hand” with the question of if you had it to do all over again, what would you change or do differently? The most popular answer, from the Baby Boomer’s point of view, is usually a lie as they would change nothing. Please […]
Many of the advertisements on this past Sunday’s Super Bowl telecast reflected on how life was “back in the day” and were somewhat nostalgic, thus, the inspiration for this post focusing on grocery stores. Remembering my mom didn’t learn how to drive until I was twelve (not really knowing if she ever knew how to drive), my dad did all […]
Back in October, 2023 I posted “Which Are You? Eagle or Duck”. It didn’t get too many “looks”, but I would encourage those of you who follow this blog to take a few minutes and read that posting which goes “hand and hand” with this post before reading this anymore. Having initially been a professional Chauffeur when I entered the […]
