R Meadow Substack Highlights #6
This week’s highlighted Substack writer is Meemanator at Meemanator’s Substack. Her about page draws you in:
“Born in 1947 I’m a card carrying Boomer. A maverick, outlier, question asker, rebel who cannot go along to get along so I am mostly invisible. This has it’s advantages. I write to find out what I think.” Meemanator’s Substack
Grab a cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, and enjoy reading Substack writer Meemanator at Meemanator’s Substack. Through her Newsletters, comments, replies, and restacks, Meemanator shares a wisdom-filled slice of life with wit and perspective for the young at heart, middlers, and “youngers” as she called them.
“What makes marriage work? What creates the kind of love that lasts through all sorts of life passages?”
“I shared my strategy when I couldn't get going on a job I dreaded was to imagine it divided into four parts then tell myself all I had to do was one part today and the next part another day. Usually, once over the hump of resistance, I would carry on and get the whole thing done in one session.”
“As we are developing we can float along for periods of time in what I refer to as a ‘bubble of grace’ until, one day, WHAM! something bursts the protective layer and we are blindsided, startled and disoriented wondering what just happened.”
“The circumstances of my life, at this moment, seem to be opening the opportunity to let this percolate, this concept that there needs to be a place for elders to speak about the things that matter to them. Things that youngers are too busy making their own experiences to listen to.
They have no idea they will be here too one day.”

Wow! Just got my first cuppa and pulled my laptop onto my lap and I find this shiny light pointed at me. At first I thought, isn't that cool, there's another Meemanator out there. Then, I realized... Thank you, dear, I am usually just talking to myself. Kinda fun to think someone out there is reading my rambles. Happy Valentine's Day! ❤️
