Gen X here and I'm not grumpy. I'm happy we're no longer a hot topic of conversation, although I understand many of my compadres are now referred to as sandwiches. The way I see it, there are lots of people older and younger than I am who do a bang up job of chasing after spotlights and seeking relevancy. I wholeheartedly support their choices. And now we've come to it: Choice. I choose simple and less. I choose oatmeal and books. I choose to be thankful as I type these sentences and feel at peace that today's little riff is mostly nonsense. The fact that I am incredibly lucky to have a roof and loved ones and a small furry mammal is never taken for granted. Gratitude isn't sexy but it keeps my head screwed on properly. It doesn't matter what letter or label is pinned to your chest. Gloom just isn't part of the deal.
