Give Until someone SMILES.....

 This past Thanksgiving was 1 for the books. My business KISS and my Women's Organization, Women who Network, along with some happy bubbly little people, hand delivered Thanksgiving Turkey cards to Senior citizen Facilities. What's known as a day of spreading cheer, soon turned into the brightest day ever, And, it wasn't just bright for us but boy did we make some seniors smile.

Our 1st stop was Huntcliff Senior Assisted Living. We handed out cards to a few seniors because most of them were already in their rooms. We shared some smiles there and headed on to our next stop.

The Seniors at the Dogwood Retirement Center were AWESOME. A staff person escorted us throughout the center to each floor and we hand delivered turkey cards to all of the residents. The cheer we shared and the way they received us was Ahhhhhmazing. The spirits and energy of these "forever young" seniors touched us in more ways than you'll ever understand.

We met Ms. Gladys, 97years old, oldest resident. Then there was Sherman, who saw us in the hallway, we gave him a card and then he started to give his own hugs and kisses. We deemed him, "Fresh Mr.Sherman". Then there was the resident who didnt' smile for anyone. We were challenged to make her smile and if we could Abduli( our escort) would pay us!! Let's just say, " Where's the money".. LOL

Then we met Mr & Mrs. Methi from India. Mr. Mehti is blind but one of the smartest and most intellectual men you'll ever meet. His wife spotted us in the hallway and we gave her a card. Once she realized we were delivering them personally, she gave her card back and insisted we deliver one to them personally.

We met residents from New Jersey, Massachusetts, Germany and ones with connections in California just to name a few.

But the highlight of the day, was Ms. Betty a DIVA in her own right. She was just the cutest woman you'd ever meet. She casually talked with us, asked questions and talked to the little people. How often do you find seniors, well in their old age with spunk like her? So why not take a picture for future memories? To our surprise, she agreed to the photo but before we could snap it, "Wait, let me put on some lip stick" she said!! I loved it...

Most of the seniors didn't go out put they did say, "We made their day" and knowing that was all the more reason to be #Thankful..
It's always good to give to someone who least expects it. In return you receive a feeling that nobody can take away from you. Our Christmas cheer event is already in effect because we were asked to PLEASE come back. And we certainly WILL...
