Hello all
There is a first time for everything.  It seems that everyone has a blog nowadays and shares information about themselves.  Although I am not a person to share I thought I would take some time and share some of my thoughts.

Since my mother has passed away a couple of months now I have been visiting my dad.  He is doing much better but I have found out that there is a lack of patience for the elderly.  We don't seem to take them into account when in groups.
I was in church today and because many of those more wise that I (Seniors) have hearing aids.  In order for some of them to work you have to speak into a microphone but everyone would say they have a big voice or don't like using microphones.  Well, guess what, it is not for the person speaking, it is for the person listening.
We need to be more patient and more inclusive of those who are elderly.

It is funny how you can learn things when you are listening to more than just someone who is talking.  When listening to the spirit you are educated in much deeper ways than if you were in a class being taught or searching the internet.  Sometimes you need to just sit back and listen between the lines.
