Moving through life too fast

Yesterday I was visiting my sister in the assisted living facility she lives in. It is a place for the memory impaired and people with Alzheimer's. There are adults of all ages there, and most of them cannot carry on much of a conversation. That doesn't mean they don't have something to offer.

As I was striding down the hall, getting ready to leave, one gentleman looked at me and said, "you need to slow down." Caught me off guard, this gentle wisdom of the memory impaired. . .
