Senior Care Clients & Caregivers - You Matter

The writer and teacher Seth Godin wrote this short article a few weeks ago.  It reminded me so much of our caregivers and senior care clients that I wanted to share it here, with you.

You matter

  • When you love the work you do and the people you do it with, you matter.
  • When you are so gracious and generous and aware that you think of other people before yourself, you matter.
  • When you leave the world a better place than you found it, you matter.
  • When you continue to raise the bar on what you do and how you do it, you matter.
  • When you teach and forgive and teach more before you rush to judge and demean, you matter.
  • When you touch the people in your life through your actions (and your words), you matter.
  • When kids grow up wanting to be you, you matter.
  • When you see the world as it is, but insist on making it more like it could be, you matter.
  • When you inspire a Nobel prize winner or a slum dweller, you matter.
  • When the room brightens when you walk in, you matter.
  • And when the legacy you leave behind lasts for hours, days or a lifetime, you matter.

So, thank you

Thank you to our senior care clients for bringing us into your lives.  You teach us so much.  

Thank you to our caregivers for bringing joy to our clients.  You enable them to live safe, healthy lives at home.

Without you we would be adrift.

You matter.

This was lovely. My favorite one is "When you inspire a Nobel prize winner or a slum dweller, you matter." We are all One and we are all important. Thank you for sharing Seth's words.
