Yesterday I did my Mother's grocery shopping for the week and had dinner with her. Before I left, I pulled a chair up in front of her chair and gave her a Reiki treatment for her legs and hips. She's been having trouble sleeping because her hips hurt during the night. When I was done with the treatment I held her hands and was looking into her eyes. We both began to cry. There was something so sweet and so intimate about the moment. I realized that my Mother is hungry for touch. Why didn't I see this sooner? Why haven't I been holding her hands all along? Take a lesson from this. If there is an elderly person in your life, don't just talk to them. Hold their hands, put your arm around their shoulder, give them a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Life is to0 short not to make someone else feel loved and needed.
