It is equally important to remember and take time for those who are a bit closer to home. This issue’s feature addresses the exact situation that many boomers face of taking care of their aging parents, while balancing the day to days of work, children, outside commitments, and their own piece of mind.
Time is valuable in so many ways. To those you take time for, it gives a sense of self worth and increases the investment and output in the relationship that is established. For boomers, the time that you give to your parents and older loved ones can give you a sense of satisfaction that they know you care. The time that is spent with children can give you and them memories that will last a lifetime.
Younger generations can learn from this example; from the example set by their boomer parents. Speaking for my own generation (generation y), if we say it or not, we do take notice of all the little things that you give to those around you, and thank you.
