Last evening, as I set my alarm for the , I didn’t anticipate a reflection.
During the slow and steady sunrise, I observed , and of the .
The has its way of recharging, refreshing and reinvigorating; however the moment provided the opportunity to reflect that the people on the beach this morning CHOSE to be there. They wanted to be there for their own need, their own purpose. It seemed that they set the intention to show up to this process that we can easily take for granted each morning. That’s refreshing in a world where many of us go through the motions of doing things we feel we are obligated to do. This morning, no one arrived at the beach because of obligation. Rather they showed up, Purely because they wanted to. Regardless of what they needed from the experience, they showed up because of their desires. Can we do more of that? Can we do something because we want to, not because we have to? Can we do something because of the process not because of the outcome?
Young people, older people, solo people, groups of teens, somber people, silly people, oh and dog people; all had the same moment. A moment that was likely interpreted differently but all in the same place. A moment of silence so tranquil yet you could hear the thoughts.
to finding tranquility in watching a process unfold. The simplest process provides the biggest punch.

Often times I observe other’s discomfort or frustration with those older than them. A younger or middle age person seldom attracts toward an elderly person, in some instances. As this continues, the elderly is likely to feel different than, or not needed any longer. The irritation, toward the elderly, that I observe is most upsetting to me. Elderly are entering into isolation more and more and the opportunity to feel needed or wanted is diminishing. I think we can minimize this. Using this platform, my challenge is to lean into the wisdom an elderly can share. Lean into their desire and need to feel wanted and needed. It’s a human need. We can help them! Their bodies and minds are changing and I think that can be uncomfortable for some. This uncomfortable feeling likely translates to a separation. A separation that hurts the young and old. It’s a blessing to grow old, and the elderly deserve to feel that!If we have the opportunity to become aware of this, we have the chance to make a change in relationships between young and old. Since I turned 41 today, I’m asking our community to shout out an elderly! Show them, with your words and actions, that they are still an integral part of our world. Show them that we still want to learn from them, need them, and value them! Maybe we might need to adjust our speed or patience, but maybe that’s worth the price. Perhaps our society puts a value on youth and forgets the invaluable price of the aging.

To ‘bee’ in someone else’s 🐝 Socks!

Our clinicians have the ultimate ability to ‘bee’ empathetic; especially when wearing 🐝 socks. Thank you we will wear them well!

Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person. Imagining yourself in their situation and experiencing those feelings alongside them. It’s about putting yourself in their “shoes” (or 🐝socks) and seeing the world from their perspective.
