TECH TIP OF THE WEEK
Words of Wisdom
Listening children know stories are there. When their elders sit and begin, children are just waiting and hoping for one to come out, like a mouse from its hole.
~ Eudora Welty
One of the simplest ways to show respect is to simply listen. Sounds easy, yet it seems so hard for us these days. With our busy lives, we often connect with others electronically — a quick text to check in, a status post to let others know how we're doing. Sadly, many of our elders are not using this technology and thus we are losing their stories. We should teach our students the importance of listening to those who have lived a lifetime of stories. And we need to listen ourselves, so we can pass on what we hear. There are stories to be relished that cannot be found in any gadget.
With something to think about . . .
Remember to take care of yourself.
Call or visit an older friend or relative and block out the time to just sit and chat. You may find that it is as good for you as it is for them.
Happy Birthday!
