Just go with it...

 Today was a cloudy day. As expected, most of the people in the home were tired and cranky and didn't want to be pulled out of bed. I had manicures and hand massages on the program this morning, and as I came to the floor, two were dozing lightly, but were roused when I said good morning. One more resident was pulled out of her cozy room due to construction (placing new air conditioners in rooms) and she wasn't very pleased.

I offered her a mini hand bath and massage, which she loves. 

I said to her, "you know, on grey days like these, I feel like it's better to just go with it, don't feel like you need to be inspired or motivated. Take a nap, get a hand massage, you know..."

And she said, "that's right", and laughed. 

It's nice when I learn from these people, having lived through everything already, they have a lot of simple reminders to tell me. 

And then on some days, I'm there to give them that right back. 

Just go with it.
