Great lesson!
“Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. ❤️ Totally can relate to it.

The 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock, with her hair fashionably coifed and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today.
Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.
After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.
As she maneuvered her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window.
“I love it,” she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.
“Mrs. Jones, you haven’t seen the room …. just wait.”
“That doesn’t have anything to do with it,” she replied. “Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged, it’s how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it. It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I’ve stored away, just for this time in my life.”
She went on to explain, “Old age is like a bank account, you withdraw from what you’ve put in. So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank. I am still depositing.”
And with a smile, she said:
“Remember the five simple rules to be happy: 1. Free your heart from hatred. 2. Free your mind from worries. 3. Live simply. 4. Give more. 5. Expect less.”

Great idea.......I love playgrounds....I still go on the swing in my neighbourhood 😁🙈

Mental and physical health are important and should be nurtured regardless of age, but it seems that we should pay special attention in the case of the most fragile, which involves little children, and seniors. Playgrounds are places where parents can take children to get some fresh air, enjoy the s...

Loneliness and isolation is sadly prevalent in today's society, here are some ways that you can help to end loneliness...

1. Small talk
------------
Whether you are at the local shop, the bus stop or getting petrol at the garage, you can take the opportunity to chat to someone.

2. Smiling and acknowledging people
--------------------------------------
A warm smile and a greeting as you pass someone in the street is such a simple but very effective way of reaching out.

3. Get to know people who live alone
-------------------------------------
If you are aware of anyone living alone in your neighbourhood then you could knock on the door and invite them over for a cup of coffee, or see if they need anything the next time you are going to the shops.

4. Check your own relatives
----------------------------
You can help by calling them regularly for a little catch up, helping them to get on the internet (if not already), or if they are near, pop over to visit or invite them over sometimes.

5. Teaching someone how to get connected
--------------------------------------------
The internet can help people who are experiencing feelings of loneliness and isolation. It can separate us, or it can bring us together. Perhaps someone in your community can be encouraged to get online, it can be a really great way of connecting to others, plus, if they have limited mobility, it means they can order shopping online during winter when it's icy.
