As I progress in years, I begin to understand what is important. My last posting mentioned the birds that I had seen on my walk with a friend. At a performance that evening, I mentioned the birds to the audience of seniors. To my surprise at the end of the performance one of the audience members came up and mentioned how much she enjoyed my talk about the outdoors and birds. It seems that some of the seniors do not get out much and she made a point telling me this fact. The concierge seemed to think that they get out but not to the real outdoors and not all of them. It is something that they miss and are pleased when someone can come and tell them about it. Second hand is better than nothing. Something that I must remember in my presentations.
When visiting with someone who is not able to get out much, talk about the outdoors. Help them see the rest of the world.
