It doesn’t take a huge amount of effort to say a kind word to that senior citizen you encounter in the grocery store or when out in public. Smiles and kind words are free! Boomers and others are welcome to visit, volunteer or advocate on behalf of the older generation at your local senior center or care center. After all, without grandparents, none of us would even be here.
