In my local paper is some information on a project called "Second Wind Dreams". I've never heard of of it but think it sounds pretty neat. So, I thought I would share:
quote> Fulfilling dreams of seniors, ... living in nursing homes was quote> the brainchild of P.K. Beville, a psychologist who founded quote> Second Wind Dreams in Alpharetta, Ga., in 1997. The organization quote> now has teams in 40 states, Canada and India. quote> Beville said she found that in her 22 years experience working quote> in nursing homes, many seniors had surprisingly simple dreams quote> they hoped to fulfill in the sunset of their lives. They most quote> commonly want to do something fun again such as play in a jazz quote> band, ride a camel or become a TV weather forecaster for an quote> hour. quote> "We, as a society, have told them not to do that," Beville said. quote> "We've told them, 'You're old. You shouldn't want to go up in a quote> hot air balloon." -- Unsubscribe?
