Recently I had a classic midlife moment. I organized a group call for the members of the Blogging Boomers Carnival so we could get to know each other better. I sent a reminder email out the day before. The morning of the call I added it to my “to do” list and was looking forward to chatting with everyone. And then I somehow managed to forget all about the call until about 20 minutes after it ended.
Fortunately everyone who did remember had a good conversation. Afterwards, the Midlife Crisis Queen, Laura Lee Carter, phoned me to fill me on on what happened. I also heard from a few other carnival members who have done similar things. It was nice to know I’m not alone in having a midlife moment.
As it happens, Laura Lee is hosting this week’s edition of the Blogging Boomers Carnival. The nicest thing about the carnival is because we’re all boomers, even though the topics are widely varied, they are all coming from a boomer perspective. In a culture that is still obsessed with youth, it is so refreshing to read articles by people who have been on this earth as long as I have.
So head on over to The Midlife Crisis Queen’s site and enjoy some of the best from the longest running baby boomer blog carnival.
