Um, say again? What is, and how exactly do we celebrate, Baby Boomer’s Recognition Day? To save you grueling hours, I initiated a comprehensive search on the subject. And since I still have no idea when it started or how the observation manifests itself (resources are conflicted), let’s see what we can come up with, shall we?
First, we need to find them. Since most sources put Boomers’ age between 47 and 65, you could start at the shuffleboard court, the retirement home or the rocking chair, but you’d probably come up empty. Boomers are parents and grandparents, working and retired (or a combination of the two), active and relaxing, homebodies and travelers. That’s the greatest thing about being a Boomer in this generation…there are no rules, no standard protocol. Even if we’re facing location, physical or financial restrictions, we’ve found a way to move around them and still live our lives on our own terms.
So here’s this Boomer’s idea: I “recognize” and celebrate all the other amazing Boomers out there…may we keep learning and challenging ourselves, have a ready supply of hugs on hand, treasure friends and family, and laugh at least once a day, yes? Groovy!
