Wrong Choice of Words

I noticed something the other day. In reading an article about elderly persons, the word "invalid" was used. The context was to describe a person whose physical condition has been limited due to illness. I noticed that if you say the word differently, it becomes "invalid". This form of the word means lacking value or importance. In describing our elders, this cannot be further from the truth. Even folks with physical and or mental difficulties have tremendous value. I have never met a more rich and vibrant group of people as when I worked as the Admissions Director of Hanover Healthcare Center. I encourage you to visit folks others may label "invalid". You will be richly blessed! Please share your thoughts by posting comments on this blog.
