... AND BE YOURSELF

Two gents of ancient vintage came To the park each week to chat. In the cooling shade of an ageless tree, On a rickety bench they sat. They spoke of events going on in the world, Of their children, grandchildren and wives. They spoke of various concerns they had, Influences shaping their lives. One said that he yearned to interact, To participate in a group, But with some groups he felt that he Had dropped out of the loop. "Why fret about that," the other replied. "You should not be concerned. "Loops change as people within them change. "By now you should have learned." "Just try to accept the hand you are dealt. "Do not put yourself to the test. "Enjoy the people, work hard at your role ... "The role you find fits you the best." "While you are involved, be part of the group, "Avoid being left on the shelf. "But learn who you are, and never try "To be anyone but yourself." © Shelby Forrest — Find More Goodies at ThingstoSay.com

www.BetterWorldCalendar.com National Senior Citizen's Day August 21st "If you associate enough with older people who do enjoy their lives, who are not stored away in any golden ghettos, you will gain a sense of continuity and of the possibility for a full life." - Margaret Mead In his Presidential Proclamation of August 19, 1988 establishing National Senior Citizen's Day, President Ronald Reagan said, "For all they have achieved throughout life and for all they continue to accomplish, we owe older citizens our thanks and a heartfelt salute. There are many other "Senior Citizen Days" on various dates around the world, including an International Day for Older Persons in October. We can best demonstrate our gratitude and esteem by making sure that our communities are good places in which to mature and grow older. On National Senior Citizen's Day, we can show our appreciation for our elders by spending some time with a senior individual and volunteering with groups that support the elderly.
