Hoagies' Blog Hop: Gifted Elders
Gifted Elder Issues.
Sometimes called the "sandwich generation," gifted adults often find
themselves dealing with their gifted kids' issues on one hand, and
their gifted parents' issues on the other... eldercare, retirement
communities, and lots more. Or perhaps you *are* a Gifted Elder,
dealing with medical, residential, and other issues facing gifted
elders? How do you deal with Gifted Elder Issues? What unique
options are available to you?
Don't miss our previous Blog Hops on related topics,

Gifted Elder Issues? I’m not that old! by Carolyn K.,
Hoagies' Nibbles and Bits
- This month’s topic for Hoagies’ Gifted Blog Hop is Gifted Elder Issues,
and I wasn’t going to join the hop. Seriously, I’m not old. Yes, at the
local diner I’ll be old enough to dine from the “seniors” menu at my next
birthday, but that’s a whole YEAR from now!
So why are you reading my post?...

 The
Daddy-Daughter Mindful Listening League by
Jessie in
CounterNarration
- Sincere attention is often the greatest gift you can give a person, and
that's doubly true when that person has intellectual OE. We know that's
true for gifted children, but many gifted adults still long to share their
inner worlds, too. Unfortunately, their fellow intellectually overexcitable
adults may not be naturally gifted in the listening department--and that has
implications for gifted families. The good news is that we can still grow
as adults if we set our minds to it...

 It’s
Never Too Late To Be Your Gifted Self — Part Two by Paula Prober,
Your Rainforest Mind
- A 35-year-old client told me that she thought it was too late for her to
find a fulfilling career and a meaningful life.
I tried to control my facial expression.
I tried not to laugh.
I'm here to tell all of you 20-30-40-50-60-70-80+ somethings, that it's
never too late. Never. Too. Late.
I can say this because...

 Retirement
& the Gifted Soul by Heather, The Fringy
Bit
- My dad died 5 years ago at way too young of an age. I wish I could say
he enjoyed his early retirement in the years leading up to his death. But
he, like many gifted older adults I know, didn’t necessarily choose
retirement. I think he would have been much like my mom is today, still
working through the indefinite future. His body had other ideas and there
came a time when he simply was forced to retire. My dad threw everything he
had and all his intensity into his work...

 The elder I
want to be by Jen Merrill,
Laughing at Chaos
- I started thinking about the kind of gifted woman I wanted to be as I
ease into my later years. Wise old crone came to mind. Full of things like
wisdom, and peace with oneself, and the ability to give back to the world.
So I decided to put together a list of things I would like to have in my
life and things I would need to do to become that wise old crone, that
gifted elder...

 Gifted Elders ~ Resilience by
Joy Navan, ongiftedelders
- Previous posts addressed reverence, gratitude, and other Be-Attitudes of
gifted elders. In this post, I chose to deliberate a crucial construct and
posture that enhances the lives of gifted elders–resilience. Resilience is
the ability to bounce back in the face of difficulties. Picture a rubber
band in its resting state. That can be a metaphor for the gifted elder...

What I Hope to Say When I am a Gifted Elder: My Presentation to Teaching
Program Graduates in the Year 2070 by
Kathleen Casper in One World
Gifted
- Please gather 'round, dearies, as I spin you a tale- a tale of when I
was a younger educator.
You have a different world in many ways now, in this year, 2070. But, when I
was a teacher and an administrator in the schools during the early
2000's, education for gifted children, who were like many of the kids
you will be teaching when you exit this teaching program, was much
different...
