How To Find Awesome Moments At The Nursing Home

Today I was thinking that it’s been quite a long time since I shared a TED Talk with my readers. For those of you who aren’t familiar with TED Talks, they’re brief presentations given at TED (technology, entertainment, design) conferences.

TED Talks cover just about any topic you can imagine, and they tend to be positive and inspiring. Sometimes when the problems of our world weigh too heavily on my mind, I like to adjust my attitude by watching one of these videos.

Today I’m sharing one of my all-time favorite TED Talks presented by a man named Neil Pasricha. Please listen as he encourages us to watch for those simple, yet awesome moments in life that make us smile.

Many of you know that my son, Ryan, is a Peace Corps volunteer. Recently I noticed that nobody ever wears eyeglasses in the photos he shares. Naively, I asked him if he knows why the people in his country don’t require glasses like so many people do here in the United States.

Ryan quickly educated me on the fact that many of the people do need glasses. They simply can’t afford them.

He also shared stories about some of the children in his classroom and the learning difficulties they experience due to impaired vision. Sadly, most of these kids have common vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism that are easily corrected with eyeglasses.
