                    <description><![CDATA[My dear friends,<br />
I was thinking today about how chaotic day to day life may become and how caught up we can get in people, places and things.  I realised at work that I can learn so much from the elderly persons I take care of every day.  Each day, each moment, sometimes each second is special.  Ive learned to go with the flow so to speak, to stay in the moment.  It doesnt really matter what happens yesturday or what I need to do tomorrow. Only that at this very moment everything is as it should be. That I need to cherish that.  I need to love the people around me...I may not remember them moments later, they may pass away, move to another facility, they may not remember me.<br />
Life is what we make it. Whether we are in flannel pajamas dependent on a walker, or a child picking his or her first dandeliion. Life is precious... and so cherish a babies cry and the soft wrinkled, age wizened hand of your elders...thes moments are priceless.]]></description>
