In this holiday episode of Aging GreatFULLy, you’re invited to grab a cup of hot cocoa or your favorite beverage, snuggle in with your favorite blanket or get warm by the fire place for an old-fashioned Christmas story time special. Show host, gerontologist Holley Kelley, has written special and heartwarming Christmas stories just for listeners!
Kelley shares the importance of hope, faith, love, resilience, gratitude, happiness, and joy. And how miracles can appear out of nowhere, in surprising places, at unsuspecting times -- if we choose to see them as such. In the end, we are reminded that regardless of what happens in life, some core things remain ever constant.
Kelley reminds us that Christmas time offers a great opportunity to open our heart a little more. To extend a little more love. And create room for a little more light. To let go of things that weigh down our soul. Perhaps even make amends. And to believe in the possibility of miracles.
Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, her tender and heartfelt stories will leave listeners realizing the most important elements in life are the things money can’t buy. And that we can change our own life and the lives of others by simple acts of loving kindness at Christmastime and always.
Delivered “Aging GreatFULLy Style” you’ve come to enjoy, you’ll appreciate the spirit of holiday joy, inspiration, enthusiasm and meaning this episode will bring into your life, the imprint it will leave on your soul and how it will resonate with your heart. Incorporating our current times, the covid-era, Kelley wrote "A Christmastime Miracle." It is followed by another special story about growing older, "Happy Holleydays." A must-listen, delightful, Christmastime power-hour of enightYOUment for all, ringing in the glorious magic of the season.
