Hi @weavingwords,
"shopping trips or spa weren’t required to revitalize" - I don't know if this statement is funnier or sadder.
Examples with your dad and family are very positive. For both "new" and "old" generations, the acceptance of the fact that times are changing is essentially important for happiness and healthy family relationships.
While "old" times gave us more peace and less stress, the "new" times give us much more freedom and individuality. Although I am too a bit nostalgic about my childhood (I was born in '88), I am happy with the new opportunities - I don't have to have a regular job, I can be a freelance business plan writer and Steemit blogger, which leaves me more free time for my hobbies, such as the Argentinian tango.
I'm glad that I've bumped into your blog as we seem to be like-minded, I'll follow you! 😊
Have a wonderful day,
@lifenbeauty
