Meal Times Conversations Here at THD- You Can Grow old Biologically But Don't Be Boring

Happy Hour-Every Friday at 3:45 PM- Photo taken July 14, 2023 at the Lobby.

Here's a recent breakfast conversation with my fellow residents here at THD.  Here's a quote from an older resident (P.D.). " You can grow old as times passes by but don't be boring".   So how can one grow older and be not boring. Here's a statement I posted on my FB page recently. 

" If a person leads a healthy lifestyle, moves, has a feasible physical activity and has full mental activity, intellectual abilities DO NOT decrease with age, but only GROW, reaching a peak by the age of 80-90 years. So don't be afraid of old age. Strive to develop intellectually. Learn new crafts, make music, learn to play musical instruments, paint pictures! Dance! Take an interest in life, meet and communicate with friends, make plans for the future, travel as best you can. Don't forget to go to shops, cafes, concerts. Do not lock yourself alone - it is destructive for any person. Live with the thought: all the good things are still ahead of me!",

Here's a must read article if you do not want to be called BORING by others.

Remember : "The day you really live is the day you have touch the lives of others." or
 "You have really lived if you have touched the life of others".
