Christmas is over...Don't forget about the shut-ins!

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with WHISPERING PINES REALTY 20398180

It happens every year.  The holidays roll around and the shut-ins and many others in need get all kinds of attention.  But, these people have needs all year long. 

When you look at the shut-ins, they run an emotional roller coaster.  Little spurts each year they receive some attention and then the rest of the time...NOTHING!

We all have busy lives and sometimes taking time out just isn't in the cards.  AH...but that can be a key!  A card.  Send a card for just NO reason at all.  "I was thinking of you!"   You won't see the smiling face, but you can bet it's there!

Most also have a phone.  a quick call during the commercial of your favorite show won't hurt either.  Besides...you don't like the commercials anyway!

Good advice.  We should remember people who are alone.  A call to check in could make their day.

Great thought Bill.  I know many of the shut-ins and those living in Nursing care homes, seldom if ever get visitors.   At least a phone call would brighten the day!

William, thanks for the reminder. I called a friend who lives by himself to see how he is doing. I try to call often.  One good thing is he has great neighbors that are always watching out for him, taking him to the doctors and ensuring that he spends the holidays with them.
