Surburbia: where they tear down the trees and NAME the streets after them...

Friday, October 21, 2005

I would like to thank God for one of his wonderful gifts to us - old people.
These people are beautiful, loving and plain "old" weird. Rarely does a day go by when I do not gain a blessing from them and am reminded of how these souls were once just like me - with money worries, job worries, romance worries yet they are still alive - maybe there is hope for my life. Maybe I won't die of starvation from my small income, drive off the bridge because of student loans or swear off men forever.
Maybe I need to just give it time and while doing so, learn from the old people -
our proof that God does have a sense of humor.
Because if you spend any amount of time with one - you are bound to see their every move as hilarious; their rituals mirrors of yours -
and you may just catch a tear swelling in your eye........

I think that is really wonderful what you said about older people. I used to volunteer at a nursing home when I was a teenager and got a lot more from it than I gave them, I'm sure. I'm 43 now and call BINGO numbers at the local nursing home - there's a lady there that is 103 and sharp- just a teeny bit hard of hearing and needs a wheelchair. I'll be there someday if I live long enough.
