When the autumn weather turns the leaves to flame, one hasn't got time for the waiting game. And these few precious days I'll spend with you, these precious days I'll spend with you.
(September Song by M. Anderson & K. Weill)
September is a precious month. It ends our fascination with the hot summer and focuses our attention on the autumn and winter ahead. The days become shorter, chillier and windier. Leaves are coaxed slowly, then with more haste, from the branches of trees and create a soft leafy brown bed where children play.
In the world of senior care, it's another reminder of the origin of the industry . . . the cycle of the seasons mounting upon each other turning carefree youth into aging people in need of assistance from a younger generation . . . their children and a professional class of retirement and health care specialists. Like September Song reflects, it is a waiting game, not sad but a natural life process.
In the RetirementHomes.com September 2009 Newsletter you will have no need for the waiting game. The information and entertainment will provide you with sustenance for these precious days.
