In doing research for Mother’s Day, I found a number of interesting posts on what baby boomers are doing and thinking about as the special day approaches.
Ciji Ware writes on Growing Bolder that she’s like her mother because her mom was way, way ahead of her time. See the post “How Is Your Life Different From Your Mother’s” for more information.
Alicia writing for the 50-Something’s Moms Blog suggests helping a single mom on Mother’s Day in the post “Do a Mom a Favor.”
Baby Boomer Talk Online offers 21 inspirational quotes from Oprah Winfrey, among them “The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.”
Empty Your Cup suggests Mother’s Day is a time for mom to take it easy in the post “Want to Give Mom More Time to Relax?”
Shirley Kalisky asks on Boomer Living how many happy Mother’s Day cards do you send, because she works with the elderly and sees how proud they are of cards and mementos from children and grandchildren.
Dee Dee Raap writes on Devinecaroline about how the pain of being without your mom on Mother’s Day can be eased by finding the gifts of a mom – the values she gave you, most likely without you knowing it. See “Surviving Mother’s Day Without Mom” for details.
Susan writing on Helpagingparents suggests recognizing the important women in our lives who have no children to honor them. See “Aging Parents: Older Mothers and Nonmothers on Mother’s Day” for more information.
