AGING BABY BOOMERS RECONNECT WITH OLD FRIENDS

Many Baby Boomers claim the older we get, the more difficult it is to build new quality friendships.

Some settle for buddies, but others react to this dilemma by using social media to track down former friends - with the assumption that childhood bonding is an excellent starting point for quality adult relationships. Ideally, when we re-connect, the years of separation melt away and friendships are revived.

Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Sometimes, the years apart have carved a divide too wide to navigate.

NOTE

Quality friendships are rare treasures. Aging boomers are thankful if we are able to grow old with one or two.

AGING BABY BOOMERS REKINDLE LOST LOVE

Are you tempted to track down someone you haven't seen or spoken to in decades? Is that someone a former sweetheart?

Why the temptation?

~ Many Baby Boomers want to reconnect with people who share our histories and are fluent in our life-stories. It seems these boomers would rather update their stories than go through the discovery-phase required for new intimate relationships.

~ For quite a few boomers, getting older has reawakened a dormant yearning for their 'first true love.'

~ Or, maybe, it is simply age-related nostalgia for the good old days.

NOTE

Not all tales of rekindled love are heartwarming. Because, not all who reconnect with past loves are single. Uh-oh!

Do you know Baby Boomers who broke up their current marriages to reunite with former sweethearts?

Would you?

AGING BABY BOOMERS REMEMBER

Baby Boomers' memories of bygone days and bygone lives are evoked by anything or everything or nothing. We see images of long-absent friends and sweethearts, catch glimpses of ancient incidents, and hear echoes of past dialogues. All randomly seep (or occasionally pour) into our minds - uninvited.

For most boomers nostalgia lingers for a while, then fades as we get caught up in our present lives. Usually, but not always. Sometimes, reminiscing motivates action.

NOTE
Are you tempted to locate and, perhaps, rekindle former romances and friendships?
Are you tempted to find former adversaries to resolve disputes and release grudges?
Good Luck.

AGING BABY BOOMERS ATTEND SCHOOL REUNIONS

Aging Baby Boomer school reunions are time machines, of sorts. We travel to bygone days and, for better or worse, observe the aging process - using contemporaries as yardsticks.

It was all fun and games at 10th year high-school reunions when boomers were on the verge of turning 30. Classmates were easily identified and warmly greeted.

At subsequent reunions we greet school chums a bit tentatively, until we put on our readers and see their identifying name tags. Afterwards, we're profoundly curious: At what age did Baby Boomers become unrecognizable?

NOTES
Not all boomers attend reunions, especially if school memories are unpleasant. Almost everyone, however, has come across unrecognizable schoolmates, in-person or on social media posts.
