[Announcer] Welcome to Thoughts on Aging with Dr. LaVona Traywick,
Assistant Professor of Gerontology with the University of Arkansas Division of
Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service.
[Dr. LaVona Traywick] Saint Patrick's Day has come to be associated with
everything Irish: anything green and gold, shamrocks and luck. Most importantly,
to those who celebrate its intended meaning, St. Patrick's Day is a traditional
day for spiritual renewal and offering prayers for missionaries worldwide.
This St. Patrick's Day, let's have fun and eat green eggs
and ham for breakfast, but let's also remember why the holiday was even
started. Dr. Wally Goddard states “When we focus primarily on ourselves, our
view of the world is narrow and limited. As we turn more energy and attention to
helping others, the meaning and satisfaction of our own lives expand. There are
countless places and ways we can serve others.”
So this St. Patrick 's Day, focus on the renewal. What will
you do to make the world a better place?
[Announcer] Thank you for listening to Thoughts on Aging with Dr. LaVona
