A senior citizen implies
that the person is retired. However, “when defined in an official context, senior
citizen is often used for legal or policy-related reasons in determining
who is eligible for certain benefits available to the age group.”
Fun Senior Citizen Fact: The term “senior
citizen” was coined during a political campaign in 1938.
Now that we’ve determined who this demographic
is, why not head on out into the world and find one today! When you do, give
them a hug, or a high-five and maybe even sit with them for a while and listen
to what they have to say. With age comes wisdom (…usually), and sadly, our
senior citizens are often taken for granted. There are many stories to be
shared and pieces of advice to be given. Seriously. Get out there. Show your
appreciation for the generation that has created the lifestyle we are so
fortunate to live in today. Many of have fought for our freedom. Many have
educated us.
