He commented that people go bankrupt in two ways: “…gradually and then suddenly&#8221;. That seems to be how old age sets in too. There’s the slow cumulative effect over decades&#8230;arthritis, change in blood vessels, osteopenia.

But, I reserve the right to occasionally write about state of dis-ease. States of hurt, outrage, and of anger. And of the current upset that exists in my own home state.

		<description><![CDATA[As baby-boomers, we must face the possibility that our generation may go down as the most despised in history. Why? Because, despite being the wealthiest and most politically powerful generation on earth, our legacy may be a ruined planet. That bequest would be ironic since, just a few decades ago, baby-boomers were synonymous with ecological awareness and the conservation movement.
We baby boomers, after all, were the prototypes for tree-huggers. Baby boomers celebrated the first Earth Day, launched Green Peace, enacted the Endangered [...]]]></description>

Somewhere between the bizarre, Euro-styled perfume ads before Xmas and the speed-rap Super Bowl flat screen sales, there’s the flood of dieting ads and gym memberships before New Year’s Eve. This is to remind us we haven’t been living the way we intended.
First, we must ask ourselves: if this is going on each year, what does it tell us about what happened [...]]]></description>

Thanksgiving, we’re told, is for “counting our blessings”.  And, with each passing year, we do count our good fortune in earnest. And, we find that family and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Real loss never hits until it gets personal. Till it’s someone you love. Till you feel it. Up until then you’re just talking about it but you’re not living it.
Two weeks ago my eighty-three year old mother started complaining of chest pain. We gave her an aspirin (like the Bayer commercials tell us to do) and rushed her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you hear a doctor tell a patient, “It’s time to get your affairs in order” that’s usually medicalese for “the end is near.” Well, the end can be around the corner for any of us.
Therefore, we should all get our affairs in order. We should make sure we make amends for whatever transgressions we’ve [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My patient was little more than a month or two from dying—at best. A malignant brain tumor would be the cause of her death. Many times this cancer had gripped her in wave after wave of epileptic seizures. These onslaughts began crashing upon her with increasing frequency and intensity until she became overwhelmed with anxiety, [...]]]></description>

Most doctors are uncomfortable attending a presentation meant to open up a dialogue about the role of spirituality when patients confront [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The left side does all the talking. It’s where speech, logic, analysis—all the cognitive skills so valued by our society—come from. The left hemisphere of our brain is our species’ crowning evolutionary achievement. It is our left-sided linguistic abilities that launched us into well-coordinated hunter-gatherers.

		<description><![CDATA[I think a lot about spirituality. I write about it. So when the editors invited me to submit regular blogs to Boomer-Living.com, I thought it would be fun to share my thoughts with a similarly-minded group of readers. They suggested I serve as the Director of Well-Being! I laughed. Me? That’s a joke. Do you have [...]]]></description>
