Once a month, we ask some of the Senior Citizens who visit our activity centers to give us some advice they've learned over the years. This month's advice comes from Ms. Rita.
Ms. Rita came in yesterday so excited because she finally got her ears pierced. They had been pierced when she was younger but have long since closed up. When I asked her why she decided to get her ears pierced now after all these years her response was simply "Why not?". I asked her to explain and she said, "Well honey, this is something that I've wanted to do since I was a teenager but I was either too afraid or too focused on raising my family to do. They're all raised now and I decided it was time to seize the day."
Since we're starting a New Year, I thought this would be a good piece of advice to share with everyone. We've heard it a million times but maybe this year we'll actually listen. Live life to the fullest! Every day do something new and different- maybe try some recipe you've had your eye on, book a trip, walk a little further than you did the day before, or even get your ears pierced if that's what you want! If life is what we make of it then let's spend this year making it good!
Happy New Year everyone!
