The world seems awfully serious these days, so I decided we need some humor. That being said, I’ll admit to having a bit of hesitation while writing this post.

Nowadays, we’re so sensitive about possibly offending someone with our words—and rightly so. As a result, I became concerned that readers might accuse me of ageism for seeing something funny about growing older.

But here’s the thing. As we age, every one of us experiences not-so-fun changes of one type or another. And isn’t it better to celebrate the humor in these changes rather than pretending they don’t exist?

I hope these quotes bring a slice of healthy humor to your day. Be sure to share them with your residents, too!
