The Other Day

Most of my blogs involve humor, or at least I think so anyway.  This one is more on the serious but light side.

Remember to embrace each day and love each moment, because sometimes we may look back and only remember (or not) some of them.

I work with seniors.  Many of them have memory loss, dimentia or Alzheimers.  Heck we don't even need any of these words to be forgetful and such.

One of my friends says she now often can't remember now when something happened, so she just says "the other day."  Brilliant, I told her.  It's true.  Be in today.  The "other" day is all of the other days of your life, the past.  Not your past lives.  That's another thing!!    

So, seeing somebody live zestfully each day (my elders), it reminds me to share and take note of your now.  Your moments.  I enjoy helping the seniors in their "now."  They may not even remember their today tomorrow, but that's okay.  

They often talk and repeat stories of last week (5 years ago) or yesterday (last month).  It's okay.  It was just the other day.  The other day is important.
