What is it, then, that memories are made of? From what these folks stated so well, the answer is LIFE. And how can we live life to its fullest? One of these seniors had the perfect answer, “Do not waste a moment of it.”
It's enjoyable to mingle with folks who embrace our values, so I was especially pleased when I recently visited with a group of others who steadfastly embraced mine. No, these folks were not family or friends. They were an array of local men and women engaged in various activities at our Senior Citizens Center.
For added clarification, this citizen’s center is not a living facility; it is built like a meeting hall and it is open daily 9 to 5. There are rest rooms and a small kitchen located behind the main room that is furnished with recliners, sofas, card tables, magazine racks, and a large-screen TV. Not extravagant, but quite comfortable.
