The Unique " ELDERLY "

 They call us "The Elderly" 

We were born in the 1940-50-60's. 

We grew up in the 50-60-70's:

We studied in the 60-70-80's.

We were dating in the 70-80-90's.

We got married and discovered the world in the 70-80-90's.

We venture into the 80-90's.

We stabilize in the 2000's.

We got wiser in the 2010's.

And we are going firmly through and beyond 2020.

Turns out we've lived through EIGHT different decades...

TWO different 

centuries...

TWO different

millennia...

We have gone from the telephone with an operator for long-distance calls to video calls to anywhere in the world. 

We have gone from slides to YouTube, from vinyl records to online music, from handwritten letters to email and Whats App.

From listening live matches on the radio, to watching black and white TV, colour TV and then to 3DHD TV.

We went to the Video store and now we 

watch Netflix.

We got to know the first computers, punch cards, floppy disks and now we have gigabytes and megabytes on our smartphones.

 We wore shorts throughout our childhood and then long trousers, Oxfords, flares, shell suits & blue jeans.

 We dodged infantile paralysis, meningitis, polio, tuberculosis, paralysis, swine flu and now COVID-19. 

We rode skates,

tricycles, bicycles, 

mopeds, petrol or 

diesel cars and now 

we drive hybrids or

 electric cars. 

Yes, we've been through alot but what a great life we've had! 

They could describe us as "xennials," people who were born in that world of the fifties, who had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood. 

We've kind of "Seen-It-All"! 

Our generation has literally lived through and witnessed more than any other in every dimension of life.

It is our generation that has literally adapted to "CHANGE."

A big round of applause 👏 to all the  surviving members of a very special generation, which will be UNIQUE!

God Bless us All For this wonderful Life. We Bless God All Our Souls ...
