A couple of years ago, I attended some Celebrating Seniors Week events out of mild curiosity. I left with a full heart and a new “cookie lady” to use for special events. That’s the magic of this weeklong series.
Events like “Love, Loss, and Lifelong Learning” or “Pet Pals in the Park” might sound small, but they open doors to real connection and shared stories. This year, I’m especially excited about the digital resilience workshop as I can use more technology assistance. I am also looking forward to singing along with a fun entertainer.
We all benefit from stronger intergenerational ties. Whether you’re a senior, a caregiver, or just someone who believes in a more connected community, this is your invitation.
Take an hour. Bring a neighbor. Try a trivia night or a community lunch. You just might come away feeling better about the world.
