Post on 29-Sep-2020
Dear Friends…
We share a lot with each other here at the center but it has
always impressed me how very different each of us are from
another. These differences we bring to the table are wel-
comed because we care about each other. I think they en-
hance our relationships because, through acceptance, these
differences make our relationships stronger. Sharing enrich-
es my life and from what I see with all of you, it seems to en-
rich yours as well. I think that is so, in part anyways, be-
cause this sharing gives us insight into our own faulty atti-
tudes. We are better people for getting to know each other.
Please know that, personally speaking, knowing and caring
about you enriches my life every day!
Speaking of,...- Ever wish you were able to know more about
each other’s “life stories?” Keep an eye in your April Senior
Center Newsletter for a new “Getting To Know You” program!
Have a Great Spring!
