I regard myself as a baby boomer: born early in 1945, I was conceived in mid 1944 when my father was on leave from the army. Unlike the writer, I enjoyed university education and full employment throughout my adult life. I married a genuine boomer born in 1949. We have two children.

Kind hearts are the gardens,
Kind thoughts are the roots,
Kind words are the flowers,
Kind deeds are the fruits.
Take care of your garden,
and keep out the weeds.
Fill it with sunshine,
kind words and kind deeds.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
