Aug. 18: This Day in History

Finding the right conversation starters to connect with your elderly loved ones can be difficult. Choosing familiar topics is a great option, but not always fruitful in its outcome. Try relating to something new and interesting from the past (i.e. ancient discoveries), or even the present (i.e. new technologies) to journey into the new and untapped landscape of the mind. #history #music #film #art #culture #historia #television #politics #movies #invention #firsts #redford

"True conversation is about going on a journey with the people you are speaking with." - Ricky Maye When speaking with your elderly loved ones, the conversation may begin with a focus on a familiar person or historical event, however, that may just be the spark to a whole new conversation journey you did not expect. Go with it. See where the journey takes you. #history #music #film #art #culture #historia #television #politics #movies #technology #baseball #invention #apple
