Hi, all awesome Silvery Bloggers!

Another great week of our collaboration with Dreemport this month, full of wonderful posts. Thanks to everyone who joined this edition of the #SilverPrompts and shared with us their thoughts on Generations.

To everyone who shared their experiences and interacted with other Silver Bloggers and Dreemers in this initiative...

And as is customary after each edition of #SilverPrompts, here is our compilation post with some of the featured entries. But first, let me mention the contributions of our team members.

Silver-Blonde Lizzie told us about some of the things she has learned from the older generations in her family, but also from some younger friends in Crossing the Generations.
SilverScot told us how a piece of advice he received from a young boy when he was working in Africa stuck with him forever in patience grand frère ... patience big brother.
Silver Cat told us how she learned from her grandmother that getting older does not mean that our spirit has to get older as well in Always young in spirit.

MY DAD, WHAT A CORKER~~~Silver Prompt: Generations

by @farm-mom - Jackie O'Silver

For a man with so little education, he was unbelievable with numbers and foresight. By the time my dad was 60, he had invested in more land and built an industrial complex with 9 rental buildings which would provide a nice retirement for him and my mom. They traveled the world in his semi-retirement, I say semi, because he never actually retired, even after my brothers took over the paving business, he would pop into the office or on a job to check things out, he called himself "the consultant". He truly loved the work.

Generational Talk

by @shanibeer Silver Moon

The young people have learned to read the signs and know to move away when they can see the pension question coming or divert me with an enquiry about knitting as they know that will keep me happy for hours, imparting useless facts like "there can be thirty thousand stitches in a pair of socks."

Learning from each other

by @irvinc

To have friends you have to know how to listen to them, to be with them, to touch them, to feel them; you have to know how to put yourself in their place, and all this requires attention and time. By living at a fast pace we miss the opportunity to enjoy the important things in life. That would be my great recommendation for the new generations, that they learn to value relationships with others.

Silver Prompt: Friday April 21 || My Mentor

by @strega.azure

I think, that sweat and tears are part of striving for excellence. Growing a thick skin and working hard on ourselves is a very important part of living, forging our identity and working on our strength of character. We live in privileged times, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't work hard.

4 generations - Silver Prompt: Generations

by @isabelpena Silver Love

For my children I chose what I liked the most from my upbringing and added my personal touch, as a mother I tried to teach my children all my knowledge, including English, of which I had a lot of knowledge. I also let them choose some things because it is about giving personality to each one but always giving them the advice of why I did not like it or why I did like it.

Generational Influencers)

by @shadowspub

I could go on naming other veterans individually, both locally and in the wider Legion community, who I was influenced by. Some of them never knew their influence on my deeply held beliefs of the value of service.

My Generation

by @stuartcturnbull

And this generation is replicating, as generations are wont to do. Each iteration of technology requires a level of learning which becomes time consuming and not necessarily of immediate benefit to older folks, and by older I mean mid-twenties on. Thus, those immersed in burgeoning advances bring their knowledge to those older than them.

Let's touch the hearts of the next generation.

by @carolinacardoza Silver Candy

Thanks to you I have remembered people who since my childhood influenced my formation in a positive way; I think now I realize that I was always surrounded by adults, I do not know if I was looking for them or they accepted me, whatever it was I am grateful to life for having introduced them to me. I could sit here naming them one by one and I wouldn't have time to finish, so to start with the subject I'd better start with the most wonderful person in the world, from whom I learned and continue learning every day and that is "my mother".
