Humor is Ageless

I come into contact with seniors on a daily basis and I am regularly amazed by their clever humor. It’s not that I think it would be otherwise, but the wit that comes out occasionally really cracks me up and reinforces why I so enjoy their company. I have one woman I drive to Doctor’s appointments and visit with often She has some trouble getting around and faces many challenges. None-the-less, every week she sends me a note about how she better get to the hairdresser so she can keep up her good looks! By the way, she is a lovely lady. To her, the cup is always half full even at 90+ years old. Another favorite expression of hers is “honky dory!” No matter the situation, whenever I ask how she is, she uses that phrase with a tone that often communicates that things can be tough, but life is too short.

For Christmas, I gave my dad a fedora — he lives up in Michigan and there are months where wearing a hat is mandatory. My step mom and I laughed out loud when he donned it for the first time and did a little Fred Astaire move. How debonair!

I came across a 60 second video that made me think of older adults having fun and I am sharing it below. No matter how tough things seem, if you maintain a sense of humor it can help smooth out the bumps. Honky Dory!!!!

About Adam Seever, Owner

The son of two social workers, Adam grew up in Chicago and lived there for over 30 years. He began his career at a Chicago-based marketing services agency determined to make his mark in the industry. In 1997 Adam moved to Atlanta while working for the Coca-Cola Company, where he spent 8 years in their sports marketing division. Adam left Coke in 2001 to join Clear Channel Entertainment and later went on to work both domestically and internationally for the World's largest sports agency, International Management Group. Adam eventually worked as a consultant and spearheaded numerous high profile projects including the building of Coke’s iconic Coke bottle at Turner Field in Atlanta. While Adam always felt lucky to have worked in the exciting world of marketing, he also felt the need to participate in something with more of a connection to the community. That quest eventually led him to earn his CNA degree and become an owner of Caring Companions of Atlanta, LLC.
Adam is married and he and his wife have two younger children. The family shares their home with two cats and two hermit crabs. The kids are working hard to get mommy and daddy to add a puppy...time will tell! They live in Sandy Springs and are active in the senior community.
