Hope you have a good day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got some reading to do, so I’ll see you all later... I've got about five chapters or so to catch up on too, so I better get about it, and it's a good day to do that. Only about four inches of snow so far, but it's blowing around, and I have no desire to even open the door. It's a reading day for sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a super morning all. I remember my mother taking my younger sisters and me to the "nursing home" where she worked when we were young. I never was excited about it, but she insisted that it was important because the older people were lonely and loved to see young children. I'm not quite to that point yet, but I understand it now. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hardly ever get to see young children. Little is still shy with them but he will be better in a few more visits. Plus I'm the boss so it's nice to see how things are on my day off. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c081huang Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Have a superb Saturday everyone. Mine was boring, only a 4-hour class (slept through literally half of it) and spent the rest of the day re-reading The Age of Innocence. For those living further north or south of the warm tropics, hope the weather is alright with yall 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a lady who brought this tiny mini horse but we heard through the grapevine she became ill and can no longer make visits. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend who's a folk singer who, after he retired (he was a nurse), started visiting senior centres and nursing homes to play and sing songs with them. Been thinking it would be nice to do something similar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These comments remind me of the first time I left school without permission in the 1st grade. Two days before that I had gone to an “old folk’s” home with a friend and her family and saw how close it was to the school. That day, it was after school, and my mom didn't show up for 20 min (I was told later during family retelling) — an eternity to a six-year-old. My intrepid young self decided I liked the stories they told me, those old people. I walked myself two and a half blocks and went room to room until I found someone awake and asked for a story. Once discovered, the staff called the school, who notified my parents. Once my punishment was over, I found ways to go back with permission. They told me stories and would listen to me gabble on about anything. It's a good memory of feeling seen and listened to, as well as soaking up their stories and memories. The therapy went both ways, I guess. Edited February 10, 2019 by Y0rite 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
