2020i is here. It is not just a new year. It's a new decade. .That is indeed a reason to celebrate and make resolutions.You will make resolutions that you will keep for a week at the most. You'll feel guilty because you let yourself. down. You'll feel guilty because you let others down. You'll make a solemn promise that in 2021 you will nail it. Although you know, that the reality is, there is a good chance that you will break your resolutions five minutes after the clock strikes midnight in 2021.
Here is a resolution you can keep. Good news. This resolution has nothing to do with dieting. You will gain something if you keep it, but it won't be weight.
Residents living in long-term care facilities need things to look forward to. Their lives are the same day in and day out. That's why it is so important to keep your promises to them. Your visits, or your phone calls, or the outings you plan with them may be the only thing they are looking forward to. You may be busy, but they are not. Why do you think their eyes light up when they see you? it's because you remembered them. You took time out of your day. You made them feel special.
You'll screw up. That's okay. The Universe and God are forgiving. The person you may have disappointed will give you another chance too,
A new year. A new decade. A fresh start.
Give it a try. Make promises that you can keep. You'll make your loved one so happy. Here's the surprise. You will be happy too.
Happy New Year.
