As the song goes, \u201cLove is in the air, in the whisper of the trees. Love is in the air, in the thunder of the sea.\u201d As we close in on Valentine\u2019s Day this Sunday, there are many things pink and red in stores, on television and in ads. Retailers want you to believe that your loved one will love you more with a card, candy, jewelry, or dinner out.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not suggesting that you skip getting your loved ones those things (my sweetie may see one or more of those), but what can you do for others, even strangers, that would make their day?<\/p>\n

Here are a few suggestions:<\/p>\n

\n
• Pay it forward.<\/u> When you go through a drive-thru, pay for the person\u2019s coffee or meal in the car behind you. You have no idea how a small gesture like that can brighten someone\u2019s day. If they do it for the next car, you will have started a trend to brighten the day for a lot of people.<\/li>\n
• Shovel someone\u2019s driveway.<\/u> Whether an older person lives next to you or someone younger, shovel their drive when it snows just because. Right now the forecast calls for snow on Valentine\u2019s Day; what better way to brighten someone\u2019s day than clearing the snow for them.<\/li>\n
• Make a meal for someone who can\u2019t get out.<\/u> Do you know an older adult who doesn\u2019t go out much (or at all) or just someone who is sick or struggling? Make a meal and deliver it to them. If you are delivering to an older adult, make sure to have clear instructions on it for reheating. A hot meal can really warm the spirit! Better yet, invite them over for dinner.<\/li>\n
• Make a call.<\/u> Is there a relative or friend you haven\u2019t talked to in a while (especially someone older)? (I mean really talked to, not just a post on Facebook.) Pick up the phone and call them. They would love to hear from you, just to know that someone is thinking of them. Ask them about a favorite Valentine memory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Valentine\u2019s Day doesn\u2019t have to cost a fortune; you can make someone\u2019s day in small ways. Just give it some thought.<\/p>\n

  Naperville Senior Center provides a warm, safe environment for your loved one when they can\u2019t safely be on their own during the day. We provide them with a hot, noontime meal and the socialization to keep them from being lonely. Your loved one is truly our loved one.<\/p>\n

  Members are welcome to be as independent as they can safely be while they are with us. In fact, one of our Members drives himself to our center! He could go anywhere he wants, but due to the socialization and other cool things, he chooses to come here a few days a week. In addition to socialization, we encourage exercise, games and puzzles, singing, clapping, dancing, computer time and a host of other activities to provide mental and physical stimulation for our Members.<\/p>\n

  Call to action: contact us<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0schedule a\u00a0FREE 3-hour trial<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0at our facility so you can see what we have to offer and understand the Naperville Senior Center experience, \u201cHome Away From Home\u201d.<\/p>\n
