Themes.<\/h2>\n<p>One of the themes inside my growing up, when I compare-contrast to my parents and grandparents\u2019 generations is a general feeling of security. My parents grew up with active memories of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Great_Depression\" target=\"_blank\">Great Depression<\/a> (surely an oxymoron), financial uncertainty, illiteracy, ignorance, and a clear memory of a real all-encompassing World War that involved horror, sacrifice, and evil at a global level. And it always put in them a fear of the outcome if one were not busy working.<\/p>\n<p>They saved when eventually they began to have ANYTHING left over. And when they had children they gave to them like no generation before them as regards education, comfort, and a feeling of security. I grew up with little fear when compared to them.<\/p>\n<p>Sure I was afraid of a bully, or afraid to jump off of the roof, but I was not afraid like them when a young cousin got a fever that she might die. I wasn\u2019t afraid if an uncle lost a job that he might perish in poverty. I didn\u2019t grow up afraid of polio. It\u2019s not that they were systemically afraid, but rather that abiding sense of security was mine at a young age, and not necessarily experienced by them at theirs.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 23px; font-weight: 900; line-height: 1.21739;\">What does being a baby boomer mean to me?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Well, I look back and remember also, a systemic change in the fabric of America that I lived through and understood more than they (parents and grandparents) can truly \u201cget\u201d other than to simply say they are saddened by it, etc. And that is not only the rise of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Divorce\" target=\"_blank\">divorce<\/a> in families, but also the widespread acceptance and sympathy for it. Prior to the 1950s, divorce was rare, but in addition it was a deeply shameful thing only barely tolerated in extreme situations. Separate bedrooms, and even extramarital romances were a preferred method of dealing with a broken marriage rather than outright divorce.<\/p>\n<p>As a baby boomer I grew up in a time of divorce changing from being the exception to being the norm. Like that inexplicable feeling of security that is unique to boomers, I feel boomers had to chart new waters in family drama as regards broken homes in ways that grandma or mom and dad could give no meaningful insight about; other than the time tested biblical principles which now are helping to return a balance to that pendulum so far swung.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Part two of What does being a baby boomer mean to me<br \/>\ncoming next week.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lyricslogicandlullabies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/what-does-being-a-baby-boomer-mean-to-me-lyrics-logic-lullabies.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-124\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lyricslogicandlullabies.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/what-does-being-a-baby-boomer-mean-to-me-lyrics-logic-lullabies-300x120.jpg\" alt=\"what does being a baby boomer mean to me, lyrics logic lullabies\" width=\"580\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/edverner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/what-does-being-a-baby-boomer-mean-to-me-lyrics-logic-lullabies-300x120.jpg 300w, https:\/\/edverner.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/what-does-being-a-baby-boomer-mean-to-me-lyrics-logic-lullabies.jpg 751w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">What does being a baby boomer mean to me?<br \/>\nPart One of Two<\/h3>\n<p>************************************************<br \/>\nLyrics, Logic, and Lullabies are delivered from baby boomer singer songwriter Ed Verner.
