Hi:

Hi:

Did you know that people of working age in Canada are classified by their ages.  I'm sure similar categories exist in other countries.

Anyway in Canada, people are lumped into three basic groups, with some some subcategories.  The first one is Youth, which lasts until age twenty-nine, if you can believe that. A twenty-nine year old youth!

 This is subdivided into two groups 15 to 24, which has high unemployment rates, naturally, because most are attending school.  The last group should theoretically be getting out in the world and starting their careers.

Hi:

In BC the largest group of people starting their own businesses are over 55.  The reason many of these people are starting their own business is because they have been downsized, rightsized, or otherwise found themself unemployed. They have not been able to find the same or comparable employment.

Walking down a path not gone before.  Looking at the stars at night.  Noticing the cool air and the dew on the ground at the beginning of the day.  Listening to the robin call out its so-mi song as the sun comes up.

Letting go of the past and being aware of my environment around me with great intensity than when I was busily working.  Where will I be a year from now?  Who knows?  What I do know is that I am moving forward, and enjoying the journey.

Hi: 

I have noticed that many older people want to be baby boomers. Surprising to me, but people do want to be part of a movement.

The oldest boomers turned 60 last year, and so this year all those born in 1947 will join the 60's crowd. Yet, I have heard people who are now in their late sixties referring to themselves as boomers.  The late boomers, who are in their early forties find that interesting. These older folks could be their parents.
