Baby Boomer – Funny, I Don’t Feel Any Older
As I lift my head from the sink to dry off the early morning cold splash of water, I am once again caught by the “un-made” face in the mirror. It is so easy to turn away and not notice… easy to see what I want to see, the perpetually thirty-something face peering back at me. This morning I do stop, go eye to eye with this vaguely familiar stranger– and notice the changes in facial lines, the dropping jaw line, and the eyes now like watery tide pools pulling me down into my inner world. The longer I look, the stronger the urge to turn away. I resist, knowing how much this reflection has to teach.
These lifelines suggesting so many mini-deaths…so many losses…father, mother, dear, dear girlfriends in their prime…youthful marriage and divorce, years of painful separation from my children, cherished dreams never to be realized. The familiarity of my long rejected resemblance to my mother, and her mother before her, engulfs me. My eyes fill for my maternal ancestors’ unexpressed souls while a bittersweet smile spreads on my reflected face for their gift of life to me. I am reminded that I too am a keeper of their painfully earned wisdom. The weight of this responsibility is palpable. At a cellular level, I feel a resonance with both the past and the future. An awareness floods — my image too, will someday reflect back to my daughter, and her daughters.
Profile Safety
One of the first things you will do when joining a senior social-networking website is fill out a personal profile. The type of information allowed on this page will vary, but remember that this will be your first introduction to many people. When someone wants to find out more about you or when they are searching for people in their geographical area or with shared interests, they will read this profile to determine whether they want to chat with you.
It’s great to make your profile page entertaining and a perfect reflection of your personality, but you should never give out detailed personal information. You don’t want to give out your full name, address, phone numbers, and even your email should preferably be hidden.
When reading the profile of someone else, remember that you have no solid proof that they are who they say they are. That is why you must listen to your own instinct if something doesn’t make sense or if their profile conflicts with what they tell you in a chat.
Safety During Chat and Beyond
Chatting should always be fun and entertaining. You should talk freely and really get to know the others in the chat rooms. For the most part, you will meet people who just want conversation and they will do you absolutely no harm. In fact, chatting can help lift depression and make you feel more connected in the world.
If you do not work or go out in public on a daily basis, this is essential to living a long, healthy life!
Chat is harmless, but if you decide to take things a step further and communicate in other ways with someone you meet through a chat room, you do have to take precautions. Never give anyone your home address until you have met first in a public place; preferably with someone safe tagging along the first few times.
You might want to talk on the phone before meeting in public, unless you have a way of verifying who they are through others who may know them firsthand. You also never want to give out private information through a chat that you would not put on your profile page
