The Elderly & Me

So true!!!

Old people don't seem to have much of a place in society. There are jokes about us that portrays us as 'old fashioned, ugly, having stupid ideas, no taste, not modern enough, just a million other things. Young people don't want our furniture or anything that belonged to us. They make fun of us...not just young people but anyone under fifty. So, I got to thinking...days go by fast and then years...someday the young people's music will be scoffed at, their ideas made fun of and no one will want their furniture. They will be thought to have had no taste and their music was awful and their clothes ridiculous, not to mention hair styles! If you live long enough you will be disrespected. Think about it. The furniture that you make fun of was modern once and the music was great! The clothes were the latest. In the sixties the young people used the word 'cool' all the time, stainless steel was popular and the furniture that is modern now with the rectangles and so on, was modern then too. The color aqua that so many love now was a favorite then. I believe it is called some other color now but believe me it is plain ole aqua. Painting furniture was popular too. Your grandparents were young once, handsome and beautiful. Like you they loved and probably did many of the things that you do. Take the time to listen to the old people and see them as people. You will be glad you did.

No one tells the oceans or the trees or the mountains that they're too old. They talk of how powerful, how grounded, how awesome they are...imagine if we thought the same way about ourselves as we got older. Maybe then we'd realize how spectacular we are.

As I was getting ready to leave my last client and heading on my way out the door at work last night,I stopped for a few minutes and thought and wondered how much value I bring to peoples lives and how much value people bring to mine.Do you bring value to peoples lives?

A person’s value in anyone’s life is determined by what value they add to their lives.

Some people are always welcomed and wanted by others because of the impact they make. So whether it is the workplace, home or any other place, whether you are with colleagues, loved ones, clients or strangers, the reason why you become important to someone is because you enhance their life either through sharing knowledge, motivating, supporting, loving, listening, or being kind to them and also validating what they have to say.

Whenever you are with them, make the best use of your and their time. Have conversations that make people feel positive, motivate others when you see them feeling low, or in a very dark place or a dark season in their life.Show empathy when needed and kindness when you find them needy and help them explore their strengths and good characteristics when they feel weak or inadequate . There is not much you need to do to make an impact to someone's life and to make people feel happy, capable and worthy.
Have a great evening and a wonderful peaceful sleep 💜🛏️🛏️💤.Let go of today and know you can start over tomorrow 😁❤️I love you all and I'm thankful for those who bring value into my life!❤️

Eat these fruits, they are higher in wster content if you are needing the water.

Drink your water, and lots of it, unless you are on a fluid restricted diet!! Water is so important to every part of our body❤️😁
