Ok, it is going to be a short one.
It’s my birthday and yes, I’m having a good time. Thank you.
OK, on the sad note, I gotta say what a DELIGHT it is that no relatives have died in the past 2 weeks. Last few years it’s been my mother, my grandmother, and then my father all died just around my birthday. Memorial services sure put a dampening on that festive birthday feeling.
YEAH! I am delighted to report all of my family, including my single boomer cousins and siblings are all HEALTHY, vibrantly so.
This evening, I went out with buds.
This weekend I am headed off to SoCal to, yes, hang and celebrate with my SoCal based family. Those long term relationships do indeed matter most. Family is first. Hopefully you can expand your family with a life partner, possibly a spouse. All the mortality puts things into perspective and reprioritizes our lives, now, doesn’t it?
The number of former boyfriends who surfaced to wish me a happy birthday was kinda intriguing and encouraged me that indeed I am creating and sustaining RELATIONSHIPS. Pretty nifty, really.
On the Singles Boomer Dating tips and advise front, I wanted to let you know that studies show that singles who go OUT to dinner etc. with friends 3-4 nights a week, friends who are ALSO making an effort to create a life-partner romantic relationship are more likely to marry than their single peers who stay at home (duh!) or who only go it alone. The SUPPORT of ones single and similarly goal focused peers (like being part of a GREAT sales TEAM not just selling alone, or being part of an excellent Master Mind) significantly impacted their likelihood for success.
So, get out, have dinner. And have a good time. Relationships really DO matter most, both in business and in romantic love.
Happy Dating and Relationships,
