Best of Boomer Blogs: Life Goes on Even When the World is Crazy

This week was difficult in that Israel went to war with Hamas in Palestine and it has been horrific. The week before, I attended a Yom Kippur service in Beverly Hills. I’m Jewish but not particularly religious and was there because I was invited as a writer. However, it was inspiring.

The temple I attended is home to many in the entertainment community here in Los Angeles, so it always has special guest speakers. Yom Kippur is when Jews ask for atonement and forgiveness for past offenses.

I stand for Israel in this matter as the incident was barbaric but also have sympathy for the innocents on both sides who are simply trying to live their lives in peace and harmony.  Sadly, war and warmongers sacrifice them brutally.

Life goes on despite the insanity

This is what our Baby Boomer bloggers have been writing about this week.

It happens gradually. At first, you don’t notice that you’re doing things the way your dog wants. Then it dawns on you: slowly and subtly, you’re following your pooch’s silent “commands.” Not sure if your canine is secretly dominating you? Here are six ways to find out.

Are you making as much money as you can on your savings and checking accounts? It’s time to compare prices, says Rita R. Robison, consumer and personal finance journalist. Check out her article on what she learned when she looked at her accounts, the moves she made, and how it turned out.

Meryl Baer

Attendance at a birthday dinner for a friend celebrating a milestone year brought back memories of birthdays past for Meryl Baer of Musings of a Shore Life. Baer mentions good memories and laments the lack of major celebrations over the years in this week’s post Every Year Older But Not Wiser.

Enjoy fall and all the October festivities. It’s always a beautiful time of year.
