Recently I encountered an older woman who reminded me;
"Oh Donna, you are in the sandwich generation!"
Please take this short quizz to find out why you are
in a bit of a 'squeeze' for time,
and
in need of much more
energy!
A SANDWICH????
I had never really thought of all the signs at are true of those o#f us in the 'sandwich';
But all of a sudden she helped me to identify them!
- ...one or more parents or parents-in-law needing your time, love. and care!
- ...married children; who, by having a spouse have doubled the B-Day cards!...(never mind remembering their anniversaries and such)
- ...grandchildren. who also have birthdays and want special attention like taking them out, and overnights, and...by nature just believe that the only person that you need to spend time with is...them!
- ...spouse, who by now thinks he or she is being neglected and how could this be...with an empty nest!
The above signs are ONLY a few; and as I woke up leisurely on Saturday morning to have a magical and imaginary 'bed and breakfast' in our own home.... before the noon hour was over; my mind had done gymnastics on all the above...and more.
SO.......
TO STAY FRESH ....thro' the
" SANDWICH CHAPTERS" OF YOUR LIFE JOURNAL...
keep up your sense of humor;
'cause there's NO WAY, you'll keep up the PACE!
