Yester morning, door bell rang. I opened the door. Mail boy delivered me a white envelop. I opened it and found a greeting card. The card was so simple, beautiful and full of nice words that I couldn't resist myself from writing a blog on it.
It was from an eighty-two years old retired person. He always sends birthday wishes, anniversary greetings and blessings to all in the locality. It is a good way to keep himself busy by pouring positive vibrations in other's life and filling their's life with positivity.
What can be other possible ways by which a senior citizen can keep himself busy and happy?
Thank you for visiting my blog Chandrika. I like yours. It is added to my reading list. All good wishes :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful...

Wow.. CambrigeLady above stole my exact comment! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Chandrika, beautiful name by the way, and how fun to have you come visit my little corner of the world! So many things a senior citizen can do depending on their ability to get out... even just going to visit other seniors that can't get out, baking or cooking for someone, helping with errands, volunteer work... oh gosh, so many things :)
ReplyDeleteWell at this age what they want mostly is some company , so if they cant do it maybe we whoud do it , spend an hour with them everyday or every other day ..
ReplyDeleteMaybe play cards or just talk with them.. tell them whats going on outside in the world..
Do there shopping for them etc etc ...

ReplyDeleteMy mother is 72 years old and she keeps herself happy by immersing herself in work that she likes to do. It is as simple as that. She liked to do Yoga, she likes to visit the park and read a book in the pleasant atmosphere there, she likes to visit the temple close to our house. And thus, she keeps herself happy and hence she is always at peace with herself.
ReplyDeleteBelated wishes on the day ! Sometimes the energy and focus thats there in people of that era.... makes me want to hide under a pillow !
ReplyDeleteI like reading the story of Rose Blumkin - 98 years old working 7 days a week working with Warren Buffett.
ReplyDeleteJust a different viewpoint I have seen.
Kindest regards,
Tom Bailey

ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. He is spreading good wishes and positivity. I love getting cards and mail of any kind these days when so often we are dealing with emails etc. My daughter was telling me about a lady she works with who is 80 - she works five days a week full time and has been at the one law firm for sixty years. She just does not want to give up work because she loves it so. Makes me feel tired thining about it.
ReplyDeleteI certainly know the value of a birthday card, I am looking forward but not too eagerly to my next seventeen. My next birthday will be my Fourth 21st.
