Generation after Generation

Dear Rural Mom,

Being the social yuppie that I am . . . my time has been consumed by work and play. . .I'm still trying to find that balance . .which I feel will forever elude me (hhmm sounds like this could be our next discussion?!?)

So, even though it's been awhile this post is in response to your "Generation Y - The Recession" post.

Can I just say that I love you?

Your response was perfect.

Often I feel so many people of your generation and previous generations mock, blame, ridicule, and tear apart my generation claiming we lack self responsibility etc etc.

Of course we do . . but we didn't get where we are today alone. . . ya'll definitely helped.

So what's the bottom line?

The bottom line is that in the end it doesn't really matter who we point the finger at because we all played a very important part.

You truly asked the most important question at the end of your response, which was "what is going to happen (and what should we do) until the next generation finds their wits to right what we've done wrong?"

I wish I had an answer. I truly do. It's a tad scary and overwhelming to think about all of the possible consequences. But the only thing I know is what I can do and hope that it has a domino affect. I know I can't dwell in the what ifs and waste time pointing the finger at the idiots around me. . .because if you think about it . . doing that makes me just as unproductive.

I just gotta wake up each day and hit the ground running.

xoxo,
Yuppie Girl
