Genuine affection found
by Elizabeth Broomfield,
June is Seniors' .Month. ,My first'
thought was to profile seniors in
our community who have made a
difference; but as I began to put
pen to paper, I. realized I was in
over my head. Not a day goes' by
without meeting a senior who has a
special gift to share. How could I
possibly pick just one or two in-
dividuals.
During one recent visit to.. a
seniors' group, I met a woman who
is over 100. This centenarian al-
ways has a smile; a joke and a kind
word for everyone she meets. I've
' never met anyone who has so many
friends! At least two for every one
of her years.
I.'ve met dozens of movers and
shakers in every community that
I've visited, folks who, though
often not feeling well themselves,
encourage 'others to become more.
active rather than give up and grow
old faster.
Almost every senior I meet
• teaches me a little about coping
with change. I'm always astonished
at how resilient most seniors are to
changes in their own lives. As one
woman told me, "It's . because
we've seen it all. From the Model -
T Ford to the space shuttle. From
the potato chip to the computer
chip."
'The amount of genuine affection
and care in the senior community is
remarkable. I've witnessed
countless incidents of seniors
joining together to support eacltrl
other in times of crisis. When
families are not around, they reach
out to each other. Their concern is
Rennie Graham of Toronto and
John and Jean Lowndes of
Queensville attended the evening
Anniversary Service at South Kin-
loss.
Rev. Dr. Alex and Ruth Mac-
Donald spent' the weekend at the
home of Ira and Elizabeth Dickie.
On, Sunday they had lunch with the
Maclntyre family and relatives at
the home of Marilyn Maclntyre.
The. Bell Ringers of New Ham-
burg were invited to the home of
Del and Margaret Burkhart after the
morning service.
Ruth Langen returned Sunday
from Montreal, where she attended
the Centennial Celebrations of the
Royal Victoria Hospital. She en-
joyed meeting classmates from her
Graduating class and also the trip
by train.
in seniors
,not reserved for their peers alone.
This' past winter, there have been
numerous kind, caring seniors who
have said to me, "Don't come to
our meeting if the weather is bad.
We want to know you are safe."
I never cease to be amazed by the
human capability to smile. Even
seniors struggling with health
problems too numerous to mention
remember the power of a smile.
So toall the seniors I have met
this past year, for all the lessons in
positive thinking, humor, loyalty,
courage and support you have
-taught me, I applaud you.
For the. folks' I haven't had the
opportunity to meet yet, I hope our
paths cross in months ahead. Feel
free to call your local Health Unit
office to find out about our dif-
ferent programs for seniors.
