May 28th - The elderly

May 28th
I am grateful for the elderly. I work with them everyday and I am grateful for the lessons they teach me, purposely and by example.

I am grateful that they teach me about their history and lessons from their past, helping me understand their hardships in life and how they overcame it, sometimes with battle scars but mostly with great memories which made them who they are and the reasons why they are a certain way or why they say certain things.

I am grateful that they teach me patience, kindness and how to be grateful for what I have now. They constantly teach me not to be greedy and want more than I can handle and why it isn't good. Their knowledge is great.

They have taught me that we all make mistakes but life goes on and you do forgive those mistakes and learn to rise about it and become a better person, sometimes soon and sometimes later. Even later than they would have liked but they are grateful that they had.

I am grateful that this relieves me, and allows me to not stress or worry about what will happen in the past, or what has happened in the future, but to live everyday as if it is its last, and to live it to the best they can before its too late.
