Words from the Wise Wednesday Ms.

Pearl, a “ninety-something” Georgia native, looked at me and said: “See the joy and love I have for you and you have for me. Look for it every day.” I haven’t stopped thinking about that. Imagine if we all moved through the world looking for love first. Looking for the person who needs a smile. Looking for the good in someone instead of the flaw. Looking for the joy that is still there, even on the hard days. Ms. Pearl has lived nearly a century. She has seen change, loss, hardship, celebration, and everything in between. And after all of that, her message is still about love and joy. That says so much. Maybe the world doesn’t need us to have all the answers. Maybe it just needs more of us to do what Ms. Pearl does: Look for the love. Look for the joy. Every single day. #WordsFromTheWiseWednesday #SecondWindDreams #ILoveSeniorLiving #LivedHistory #Wisdom #Joy #Love #ChangingThePerceptionOfAging
