After engaging nursing home residents throughout the day with songs, pictures, stories, and hugs, I spent a few extra moments with a woman for whom I deliver weekly bedside concerts. I shared with her a few of the songs she missed during the group activities.
"I'll see you next Friday," I declared as I bid her farewell.
"You are the beauty of my week," she replied.
And, on the way home, I saw one of the most beautiful sunsets ever.
Love, beauty, peak moments. That's what The Golden Experience is all about.
