National Senior Citizens Day 2023

The elderly are somewhat under appreciated to the point that all to many are ignored by their closest family.

Though I myself are approaching that 'elderly' stage I still feel that I should look out for my mama.

After all, she looked out for me for oh so many years that I think it's only right that her needs should be attended to with vigor and appreciation for that which she gave to me over the years.

Today is National Senior Citizens Day. It is held each August 21 under the auspices of President Ronald Reagan's Proclamation 5847.

Any day is a good day to show that senior citizen in your life how significant they are to you.

You should take each and every opportunity to exhibit your affection and tell them how you feel with joy in your heart.

My mama lives with independence and dignity because of who she is and who looks after her.

That would be me.

It is an honor to serve my mother in her advancing years and I look forward to each and every moment toward that end.

Seeing to that which she requires is not a burden, but a privilege as far as I am concerned.

Happy National Senior Citizens Day
