Celebrating The Journey
National Nursing Home Week
May 13th– 19th 2012
Find out what's happening in Croftonwith free, real-time updates from Patch.
Celebrating the Journey reminds us that every life should be honored. Whether the day is filled with comedy or drama, our residents, families, volunteers and staff are characters in that story. Ralph Waldo Emerson’s famous
sentiment that “Life is a journey, not a destination,” uses he Monarch Butterfly to depict his sentiment.
To take this analogy a step further, we can look again to the grace and eloquence of the butterfly and realize that our journey is our only guarantee. Our responsibility to make our way in faith, accept the change that comes, and emerge from our transitions as brilliantly as the butterfly.
