Happy Times #4, Margaret A.
May is a good time to celebrate Spring (no matter how delayed or sporadic!) and also to celebrate Older Americans. The 2019 theme for Older Americans Month is “Connect, Create, Contribute” and it encourages older adults and their communities to:
- Connect with friends, family, and services that support participation.
- Create by engaging in activities that promote learning, health, and personal enrichment.
- Contribute time, talent, and life experience to benefit others.
Happy Birthday to Me, Esther W.
