Listen for the Joy

I once told a sweet centenarian (a person who has reached the age of 100 years) at the nursing home where I worked that her hair looked pretty. She replied to me, "e;Thank you, it's old."e; I had to laugh!From that moment on, I started paying more attention to verbalizations and those sweet moments of "e;joy"e; that I caught a glimpse of every single day.This book is a compilation of many moments that caused me to smile. In my work as a music therapist and activity director in geriatrics, I found out that all one had to do was just listen and love. The joy was there.A physician once said, "e;The best medicine for humans is love."e;Someone asked, "e;What if it doesn't work?"e;He smiled and said, "e;Increase the dose."e;
