Life here continues to be one big comedy show! I went to bed, my sides splitting from laughter from the funny tales my room-mate had to relate of her day of taking the seniors on a shopping expedition. Today she's hosting an inter-generational discussion on secrets for a long and happy marriage. there are some couples here who've been married for over 60 years, so I think it's going to be a great session!! The deal is that they can ask as young 'uns questions, too!
Had the experience yesterday of launching a commercial venture in 24 hours! I got the green light (after much bureaucracy and impatient waiting on my part) to give the seniors massages. So (and am feeling most proud of this) in one day I created all the written documents I needed (intake form, confirmation slips etc), set up a massage space and (the best bit!) sold out all my slots for this week!!! It's a great situation both ways - the prices are reasonable, so folks can afford, and on my side it's great extra pocket money.
Alas, I am totally wiped out this morning (time of month thing), so am gonna have to summon my energy to rise up in preparation for todays treatments! I know that all my massage angels (teachers, practitioners, massage friends) will be in the beige yurt (my massage space) with me in spirit and that the energy will come from somewhere!!!
I had a really sweet discussion with one of the seniors last night who said that he felt his two weeks here had been a "rebirth". I think seniors should live their lives on a day to day basis in a place like this, not just for 2 weeks per year!
