In the retirement home where I work as director of activities, I never get tired of encouraging the residents to do things, amazing things that make sense in their life in their senior years.
One activity that I introduced to them just this recently was the creation of hobbies and interest clubs. These clubs cater to their hobbies and interests and anything they would want to do in their leisure time.
Drawing and painting was one of their favorite ones. Also, there were some who loved to do knitting and crocheting, so, I grouped them into their kind of skill shown.
With me moderating their skills and activities, it was just amazing that they were really good at their craft. Other activities where they're very good at were cross stitching, crocheting, knitting, embroidery, sewing, pastel painting, water color drawing, story writing, dancing and singing, photography, and social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) and computer softwares.
I just want to clarify that I am referring to seniors in their 90's.
I must say, it is really never too old for them to do such amazing things in their life.
