"Old Saying Explained by a Child" by Susan Pearl

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.


I was working at a nursing home when a class of small children came to give a singing program.
The resident were all waiting for them in the activity room and looking forward to seeing the bright young faces.
As the children came into the activity room and looked around at the audience one child became tense and fearful and said, "This place is filled with old people".  But another child beamed with joy and excitement and said "This place is filled with lots of grandpas and grandmas".
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

At this time of COVID-19 nursing homes are not allowing visitors for the protection of the residents. It is not only a loss for the residents but it is also a loss for children, family and friends.  We need to practice social distancing, wash hands, stay home and if we do go out wear a mask.  It is not only for our safety but for the safety of everyone.
