\"Memories<\/p>\n

Memories Image: sxc.hu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Seniors have so much to offer. They have time, wisdom, energy, and stories to tell. Having grandchildren around is often a great gift for them. This allows for them to speak freely about things they remember from when they were young. Some grandparents may benefit from visiting grandchildren because their memories come back to them when they see the smile of their grandchild. Working the memory is a good thing for older adults.\u00a0 So the next time you are around Grandma, ask her something about the holiday season when she was young!<\/em><\/p>\n

We also don’t realize how much we wish we had written down these memories or recorded them in some way.\u00a0 After grandparents are gone, we don’t recall their stories in enough detail.\u00a0 However, jot down, in words and pictures, what they’ve told you.\u00a0 Spend time with grandparents and their memories.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My daughter has admonished, “Mom, write down your memories…for me and the grandchildren.”<\/em><\/p>\n

We also can record the present events (which will become memories) by recording them in a journal.\u00a0 One lady told me she’s compiling a Holiday Journal.\u00a0 Here she writes down what she and her family do for each holiday.<\/p>\n

What about you?<\/strong><\/p>\n
