Taking Care of Our Elders
The reblogged link is to a work of fiction – but it rings true for all of us who are looking after elders and care takers. Especially during this Holiday season and after, remember those who are older and perhaps alone. Help them, do things with them, engage their minds, hearts and souls. They are our treasures.

Heros and Role Models – Do your kids really need them? Honestly?
Sit and chat for a while – the importance of talking and listening to your teens
Childhood is a time to prepare out children to be adults – especially the teen years. I’ve always thought that THIS is the time you need to spend the most time with your kids. They are now, more than ever learning about the real world and issues they’ll have to face.
They’ll learn that life isn’t fair. They’ll learn that jerks grow up to be jerks. They’ll learn that there are brown- -nosers and teacher’s pets and people who are going to be less than nice. They’ll learn about game players and liars and all of the other people that might end up as their coworkers someday.
But they will also learn that they can make a difference through their actions and words. They’ll meet the best friends they’ll ever have – and still have those friend when they are 100 years old. They’ll be inspired by remarkable teachers (I’m thinking on one History teacher). They’ll be curious. They’ll discover new and wonderful music. They’ll laugh like they invented laughing. And they’ll know joy like no others.
So now it the time to talk to your kids. Now is the time to LISTEN.
