Honoring Our Elders


--by Mish, posted Mar 24, 2019

Just back from a birthday party for our friends’ 94 year old Mom. I made it a point to save a seat next to me for her & put my focus on her. She reached for my hand a few times and it warmed my heart. She looked so pretty & I so admire her. We share a special bond. Grateful ❤️

“Elderhood is about the gifts that age bestows; gifts unique to those who have lived long enough to have learned much of what life is all about, and remain curious about what’s yet to come. All of us are elders, or elders-in-waiting! We are defining our own future elderhood. Let us now passionately promote and embrace a culture that encourages the wisdom of elders to guide us. Let us ignite, or be gone.” ~ Jean Garboden
