I'm finally beginning to feel as though people are giving grandparents more thought these days. Even Walmart and Target are hiring seniors, recognizing we still have a lot to give. Seniors, like and want to work. Especially, if they don't have a family. A part time job can be a social experience, besides, adding extra income.
I'm hoping you'll also think of grandparents as a source of knowledge. After all, we've lived longer and that means we've experienced more. As you age, most of the time, you also mellow. This can make you a kinder and gentler person to speak with. Sometimes, that's all someone wants..just to vent. Speaking with a grandparent or senior might be the solution.
Grandparents today, can offer advice without conditions. I realize some of the sitcoms, portray inlaws, or grandparents as pests. I think otherwise, my mom was always wiser, not usually calmer however, I almost hated he advice, because most of the time she was right...... Therefore, if you have a grandparent, parent, or senior you can talk too, and things just aren't going well, think about speaking with them. Sometimes just talking helps. And if there is good advice as well, listen, process and make some changes.. You never know, it could make your life better. At least improve your day As for the person your speaking with that grandparent or senior...they'll feel pretty good as well.

Hello Ginger, thanks for the reassurance that we are a loved and needed part of the family. Even at 61 I still have wonderful memories of my grandparents and that was along time ago. Hope to see you back here commenting. Love knowing what you think.
