Valuing The Grander Years
- By Lillie Oliver
There are values found in enjoying the everday company of senior citizens. This is true especially of those who have managed to age with grace in asserting good character and kind heartedness.
The challenges people deal with when the are faced with the reclining years can be overbearing and fearful. Well before the status of becoming a senior citizen, most older adults come to know how physical health recedes. In this inevitable, everyday challenges become more difficult to overcome. This then gives birth to fear of what's to become of one's living situation and conditions. People are faced with where will they go and will they be cared for. It could very easily become a very sad and depressing time. Yet there are people who face the challenges of aging and still remain pleasant, kind, and fun loving.
I can fondly remember the younger years that accompanied the desire to be older. It was a thrill to imagine being able to make my own choices, do my own thing, and live my own life. Once those dreams become years of experience a different look to the future set in. This is just one reasons why the good company of persons who are in their seasoned years can be of great value. In the simple things like a pleasant smile, people who transcend their challenges and still manage to enjoy life can turn anticipated fears into an inspired hope. Not only is there a value in sharing a pleasant mannerism but in addition a strength during hard times can be a much valued comfort.
Wisdom is a precious treasure in any experience of human life. We are exalted in it for teachings, understanding, and improving the quality of life. Likened to the aging of a good wine, wisdom is often acquired through time. Even in living through childhood, adolescence, young adult life , raising children, having grandchildren and even great grandchildren, we may take the value of life's experience for granted. We may not recognize the wisdom in the stories shared. With age there are not just grandiose stories of the vivid imaginations, but real life stories of the times that were actually lived. As We grow in our life experiences we can understand better the wisdom that comes from those of the seasoned years, and thus realize the wisdom shared is grand.
Every opportunity to express good will towards others is a blessing. We can go through life just wanting to get things but the human spirit benefits in both giving and receiving. In many cases senior citizen are in need of caregivers. Although this may be a job for many, it is also an opportunity give genuine care to others. Whether it be for more independent living in the home or a state of medical need in a facility, care providing can easily go beyond the a routine and become a much valued portion of the care giver's own life experience.
In valuing the grander years we can find. At least the treasures of hope, wisdom and the gift of giving. However beware not to let such values go unseen or overlooked. Be you one who gives or receives let it be your deed to keep the focus on awareness in letting the value light of the grander years come shining through.
