The weather has dipped back into much colder weather again. But the crocus which is in full flower at the moment is a gentle reminder that spring is nearly here!

‘Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength.’ ~Betty Friedan

The following reflection called ‘A Golden Prayer’ is to be found on a wall in Teach Altra Nursing Home Newmarket
Blessed are they who bring back memories of yesterday.
Blessed are they who understand my faltering steps and shaky hand.
Blessed are they who know that my ears today must strain to catch the things they say.
Blessed are they who seem to know that my eyes are dim and wits are slow.
Blessed are they who helped when the cup spilled at my table today.
Blessed are they with a cheery smile who stop to chat for a little while.
Blessed are they who never say: “You’ve told the story twice today”.
Blessed are they who make it known that I am loved, respected and not alone.
Blessed are they who know I am at a loss to find the strength to carry my cross.
Blessed are they who in loving ways ease the days on my journey home.
