Creating Great Adults
I have been sitting thinking about what to write about today & I finally decided, after getting a follow request from a young guy just in his 30’s who talked about the jobs he’s had & the upbringing he & his 4 siblings had… You see it was their mother, on her own that bought those kids up.
He talked about the jobs she had taken to keep them fed, clothed & to keep a roof over their heads. I was very impressed by the how he spoke of his mom & you could tell he was very proud of her, by the way he wrote his story. Also he spoke about the work ethic his mother instilled in all her children and the way he spoke about what he does for a living. He sounded very proud of that occupation.
I am very pleased that he followed me & I in turn followed him after reading his lovely bio, as he is only the age of my children so I was surprised to get the request but am very grateful for it. Otherwise I wouldn’t have been writing this. I think this is the best platform for young adults as they are more switched on that us oldies J I am trying to talk my daughter into coming on board with me, only time will tell. If I had something like this when I was that age I think my life would have been very different.....
Thanks for Reading,
Linda

I agree younger people deserve a chance and there are options that didn't exist when I was younger. Being in the right place at the right time isn't always clear when we aren't aware of our opportunities. I think you need to be self aware to recognise when these present themselves to take advantage at being happy and a success.

Linda, wonderful post. As I see these young people rioting and protesting our democracy in the US, and my adult children so much in disfavor of it, I realize how they have grown beyond my husband and me. Yet, I know that it is because of how we have raised them. We were deeply involved with them, we were very truthful and respectful with them. Now I look at them with admiration as they make their own choices about jobs, money, religion, morality, politics, etc. They are their own person but it is a mirror I'm looking into and I very much like the reflection :)
I second your thoughts there Michelle :) I too like the choices my children have made... Thanks for your lovely comments...
