To BBoomers - not ready to give up being as vibrant as we have been.

Hi there BB's and others

We actually don't have much of a blueprint on how to deal with the future. Because we are different from the role models of the past, we need to establish our own way. Which is why I would like you to contribute on this site in order to blaze our own trail into the future.

Perhaps you have a perspective which could help others in our position ie Ageing but Gorgeous BB's, who are not ready to give up being as vibrant as we have been, or could still be.

Cheers Clara

Still on the same day........... More to come tomorrow.
About the Rowers!!!!!!

Hi Renotta and other BB friends

Still getting used to the unstructured nature of Blogger where I can't seem to place photos where I want them to be. Hopefully I will get better at it, but technology, wonderful though it is by allowing us Babyboomer women to connect, actually brings me out in a rash.

I adore these unfurling ferns, and the lichen on our native sandstone. If I was still weaving, these photos would provide a fabulous starting point. (I still have my loom - that is the good news - the bad news is that because of the necessity to downsize, it is in storage- perhaps the body corp will allow us to go 'UP').

'Unfurling' is a good starting point or 'emerging' . "Clara is an emerging blogger. She will 'evolve more structure over time." In the meantime, my 'inner dragonfly' is in full flight - changing direction at will.

Babyboomer women, I believe, deserve to indulge this creative part of themselves and to use our time exactly as we feel like, rather than what we feel we 'should' be doing. If we can't do this now, I question when we ever will. I am now 'jealous', not quite the right word; 'protective' of my creative time, is better. Women, have traditionally give away their time, freely, with love, and have received love and satisfaction for this as we are hardwired to nuture our young, just as men are hardwired to propagate the species. We are happy about putting others first. But not quite. Now is our time, my fellow COGS - (Crazy ole Gals)!

Love Clara
