Today is your day Boomer! Sorry blog readers, I took a little time off recently to work on our family summer cabin(no internet there!) and go fishing and socializing with my older siblings...more on that in a coming blog. But I did return home for my birthday bash on the 6th day of the 6th month and I turned 66. A lot of 6's it seems....so what does this mean? According to indiatimes.com, "Numerology 6 is the 'Mother' of all numbers since it links families and keeps people together. Because numerology number 6 is trustworthy, sympathetic, gentle, and loving, they should work in teaching, nursing, and assistance." I did, I did! I worked as a teacher for three decades and some would say I have a nurturing personality by offering my personal advice in a regular blog. I do give suggestions on some important things like politics, culture, recreation, and health....all concerns, I think, to an average Boomer. In the meantime, I keep trucking along in Boomerhood enjoying life, friends, a little bit of work, and family. Cheers!
Today is your day Boomer! My Dad left this world this week. I was there in-person to say goodbye and, of course, it was very, very difficult. But rather than focusing on the negatives of his downfall, I want to share with you my Dad's many contributions to my life. First off, Harold (Hal) shared his name with me and helped raise me as one of six kids in our family. Imagine the financial impact a family of eight had on his work life and mental state! Speaking of that, he taught me the importance of a strong work ethic and a good education. All his kids have university degrees or trades tickets. He showed me the supreme importance of family gatherings, how to flyfish...even when he was colour blind....how to use tools, play high-level bridge, eat organic foods, he taught me how to drive....even though I ruined the transmission on our old car....he showed me how to sail, save and invest money, have an appreciation for nature, he was a role model for me as I moved through heart/s
