Celebrating Older American Month
|
|
|
May is Older Americans Month, and what better way to celebrate than by sharing a personal experience or skill? The Administration on Aging encourages older Americans to Age Out Loud. That can mean advocating for change in your community, learning something new, earning a degree, starting a career, having your career-defining moment or finishing your masterpiece.
Child prodigies make good stories, but have you heard of the 91-year-old marathon runner? Certainly you've heard of John Glenn, who went on a spacewalk at age 77, and J.R.R. Tolkien, who published the first volume of Lord of the Rings at age 62. Whatever your age, whatever your physical and mental abilities, "do not go gentle into that good night." Host an event like a senior open mic night, start an ambitious project or sign up for community classes to keep your mind and body in good shape.

Giving Back To Those Who Matter Most

May is also time to celebrate Mother’s Day. If you’re a mother, it’s time to reflect on the lives you created and helped shape. If you’re a daughter or son, it’s time to say “Thanks” for the life and love you’ve been given.

Did you know that pet therapy is free for Cypress clients? We know from experience that spending time with our therapy dog, Lacey, brightens anyone's day, and especially those seniors who no longer feel comfortable caring for a pet.
