Sarah | Time for Kindness<p>I recently heard about the Age Positive Image library (<a href="https://www.agewithoutlimits.org/image-library" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">agewithoutlimits.org/image-lib</span><span class="invisible">rary</span></a>); the first free library showing positive and realistic images of older people.</p><p>This struck me as being a great example of kindness because representation is so powerful and it goes hand in hand with a campaign from the Centre for Ageing Better to challenge ageism for the benefit of all of us as we grow older.</p><p>1/2</p><p><a href="https://kind.social/tags/Ageing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ageing</span></a> <a href="https://kind.social/tags/Community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Community</span></a></p>

Looking for explanations…<p>It’s been a month since we arrived in the Manawatu, but feels much longer. 2 weeks of packing, a few days of settling in the olds &amp; unpacking essentials &amp; dealing with MIL’s fall, 3 days away, &amp; a week here at sister &amp; BIL’s home, visiting olds &amp; watching them adapt. </p><p>Yesterday we all gathered to eat an amazing goat curry cooked by partner (no recipe, own spice mix) &amp; a plum cake I baked using plums from the garden. Tonight we’re all going out for dinner. Tomorrow we might take the olds to a folk museum in their town, reputed to be very good &amp; with a nice little cafe. And that’s when we’ll say our goodbyes with them. </p><p>On Friday BIL will drive us down to Wellington for our flight home in the afternoon. </p><p>Each of the last few years has felt like it might be the last time we do this. They’re so much older this time, so much more frail, &amp; their cognitive decline is so much more evident. But they’re adjusting well to their move, have started walking to shops &amp; cafes (they’ve been going everywhere by car), &amp; are even talking about how’ll they’ll manage when they’re no longer driving. (There’s a regular “health shuttle” to the hospital in the big town for medical appointments etc, &amp; a good little health centre in their own town.)</p><p>There’s been plenty of time for reflection, observation, venting of frustrations (not with the olds!) &amp; discussion. I’ve had to bite my tongue quite a lot re my observations of neurodivergence. (I’m not a qualified expert, &amp; even if I was, people need to come to their realisations in their own time &amp; not be pushed too hard.) The projection of certain habits &amp; shortcomings onto others is quite profound, but it’s a very strong trait in many humans! (Even me! Astounding I know!) </p><p>Last but not least, it’s been a privilege to have been a part of all of this. Having lost my own parents in my teens, meeting partner’s parents as hale &amp; hearty people in their early 70s, getting to know them, &amp; watching them age, has been a gift. We might have several years of popping over annually to visit, or not. We’ll just have to wait &amp; see. </p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Ageing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ageing</span></a></p>
