Ok, perhaps many of those below the age of 50 are not blogging about pensions and their care giving may be with children and not parents. Yet, the general topic areas are the same. What makes the difference, in my opinion, is the expertise and experience that baby boomers bring to the table.

What do you think?

If you find a blog post you like you can post it on your site or refer to it. You can make your own comments and if you use their permalink a trackback will be sent to them. So now you have created a blog post.

Try it. If you want me to post a video or tutorial let me know.

One of the great things about blogging is that it provides a voice for many of us who sometimes feel that no one is listening in our immediate circles. Some of the thoughts include:

• Caregiving
• Pension
• Retirement options
• Retirement issues
• Purpose driven work
• Work to add to retirement
• Grand children and related joys and issues
• Children and related joys and issues
• Grief from loved ones missing in our lives
• Mates
• Making money online and offline
• Health, health, health
• Collections
• Music
• Art
• Hobbies
• Dating
• Life after Divorce
• Oh, did I already say caregiving?

Now I did not include everything. You can add more. But are you blogging about any of these things? Please share what is on your mind that you are blogging about.  I know it is one of the reasons some of you have more than one blog.

I asked myself this question as I traveled home from visiting my mom in the rehab center.  I said ” Wow, I haven’t blogged in a very long time.” “Why?”

Well it certainly wasn’t because I was bored. No, it is because I am super bogged down with trying to do the Ebay and Etsy online commerce, work a full time job, figure out ways to add to my pension and take care of mom. I have all the drama I need to blog about.

Just my two recent trips to the Emergency room in a large urban poor community in New Jersey gave me more than 20 blog posts.By the time I talk about the evil of shutting down hospitals, overflowing ER rooms that strip the dignity of the cattle herd, amazing staff that works in what appears to be a war zone I have a lot to blog about. I should have recorded notes and blogged on a relevant blog before going to bed late each night.

Or,  what about all the Ebay postings, people and lessons I am learning? Learning the software, learning the rules, finding things to sell, consignment challenges, learning how to sell things I never looked at twice before. All Attempts to add to my pension fun.That’s good for at least 20 posts on two  new blog I created.

I realize that blogging can be systematic. I mean after all I created a blog management system that I am not using these days. So, it is time to put it  into action if I am going to give food to my hungry blog children on a regular basis.

What about you?

Are you scheduling your blog posts?

Are you making notes of your daily thoughts, dramas and challenges?

Are you bursting with ideas to blog about?

Or

Are you bored with the blogging adventure?

In addition, be sure to post comments to these sites.  Not only does your opinion count but it is what we baby boomer bloggers have in abundance. Right?  In addition, hit that like button on Facebook, Digg it, Tweet it and all the other good social bookmarket and social network things we can do. Enjoy the game this weekend.
