We all can learn a thing or two from our elders. Yes, that's right. After all, they lived longer than us and have endured many storms. But somehow, they remain young at heart and can still teach us how to fully enjoy life.
Don't take it from me though, instead, check out these awesome senior citizens living their best lives. I don't know about you, but I'm kind of jealous, haha!
Somebody spotted this older gentleman sitting at a diner alone and enjoying his meal with a picture of his wife by his side. Aww!!! I don't know about you, but if I have been there and seen it, I would have gotten teary-eyed. This is the cutest thing ever.
"This man is recycling old picnic coolers into shelters for stray cats for winter! How very cool is this?!"
Oh, my goodness. You don't say? That is the nicest thing I've ever seen. I wish I have thought of it too. It's quite a genius idea, no? I just adore it.
"My 90yr old Nana and her 23yr old cat love sending me goodnight selfies."
Haha! I love that. The cat looks like he's really enjoying being part of this moment here. These two are definitely meant to be. Do you feel me?
Speaking of perfecting selfies, how do you like this grandfather posing with his favorite friendly neighborhood chipmunk here? Oh, my gosh! We have tons of chipmunks here, but they're yet to do this, lol. The little guy's face is priceless. Don't you think?
Can you believe that? How sweet is this grandma? Don't mess with this lady, haha. After all, she'll have your back. If only I were a fly on the wall to see this in action. I would have loved that.
"My dad got to hold a 3-week-old baby goat yesterday."
Oh, my! Check this out. How happy is this man holding a 3-week-old baby goat, haha? His face here is pretty precious, no? I say do whatever makes you happy. This is one lucky goat, if I say so myself.
"My grandmother turned 100 last Oct., this is her doing the plank for 30 seconds."
What? This grandmother just turned 100 years old? Holy, moly! I have to admit she's in even better shape than I am. And now I feel quite intimidated by her, lol.
"Every day my parents play Mario Kart 64 to see who will make a cuppa tea. They’ve done this religiously since 2001."
Aww, how sweet is that? Now I need to know who's the one who usually wins and gets to sit while the other one makes the tea.
"My grandmother built a snowman and they both have the best smiles."
While many other senior citizens may want to just hibernate all winter, not this grandma here. No, sir! Instead, she's having a grand old time making snowmen. That looks like fun.
Check this out. This handy grandpa rolled up his sleeves and went to work. He made this super cool cradle for his grandson. Oh, my! The man has some mad carpentry skills. Am I right? It's the cutest little cradle.
"My grandma hand drew all her wrapping paper."
OMG! What? That is the most creative wrapping paper idea I've ever seen. I can't believe the grandma took the time to do that. I would be very careful opening these so I could preserve each wrapping paper forever.
"My nan has dementia and every day she meets my dog for the first time and falls in love with him over and over again. I managed to catch one of those moments."
Aww, and the doggo totally remembers and loves her back.
"For at least 13 years, rain or shine, this little old man spends EVERY morning walking around his tiny town picking up trash."
First of all, how sweet of this man to do this. And second of all, everybody should do that. Case closed.
"I took the new pup to the nursing home next door. They instantly became best friends."
If you don't think these two have an instant bond, you must be blind. I bet they will be inseparable now. A dog is really a man's best friend. This is so cute to see, no?
"My grandmom is 93 and losing her memory but still can roll her ravioli dough like a pro."
I guess it's true what they say — old habits die hard. This 93-year-old grandma can't put away her pasta. She must've done this countless times. Am I right?
I don't know about you, but I'm pretty obsessed with Halloween. The problem is I can't seem to motivate my partner to get dressed up with me. So I would really love this cool grandfather here portraying his favorite character from Up!
"My dog gets really anxious in the car, so my grandma asked to sit in the back with him. The whole car ride all I heard was 'it’s okay, we’re almost there brave boy'"
Aww, how adorable is that? I think this doggo really appreciated that.
"100 years apart. My grandfather on his 103rd birthday with my 3-year-old daughter. Picture is priceless to me."
Oh, my goodness. Something tells me that this little girl will absolutely treasure this picture when she gets older. It's one for the books, no?
Honestly, I could spend all day looking at sweet pictures like that. We can take a page from these older folks' playbooks on how to be a better human being. If we did that, the world would surely be a much nicer place, no? Do you agree with me on that?
I hope this made your day as it did mine. You're welcome.
