celebrating leaps, bounds, and life

today i witnessed the celebration of a woman's 106th birthday
One Hundred and Six Years!

her son was there to celebrate too
a man well into his eighties.

in working with older adults...
yes, I work with people at both ends of the age spectrum

i've learned so very much
what i hear about living a long life is simple:
Stay Happy


there's the secret! ...pass it on

Remembering Today's Message

i heard today: the ocean
though unvisited years pass
my heart beats in waves

witness to tides rising
fall, crashing
taking
restoring

wondering if i could make
stronger the impact
wishing to touch
life's soul

what if we responded
to love's ripples more often?
reaching changing each other
noticing to carry weary travelers
bringing joy and passion to each other.

today i accepted a challenge:
listen tolerantly.
live passionately.
open my heart to
love more
often.


-hoping we become aware of our own ripples-
