๐ฌโ The Power of Reminiscing at Our Coffee Mornings โ๐ฌ
Every Monday and Wednesday morning, our coffee mornings are filled with more than just tea, coffee and cake. They are filled with memories, laughter and meaningful conversations.
Reminiscing is so important for our older generation. It helps maintain identity, builds confidence, encourages social connection and brings joy by revisiting cherished moments from the past. Sometimes, it even creates moments that none of us could ever plan for ๐
This week, during one of our conversations, Catherine shared memories of going to the dances in Strathpeffer when she was younger, every Friday and Saturday night. She told us she used to go along to watch the Billy Macintosh ceilidh Dance Band.
As the conversation unfolded, Catherine suddenly realised that Billy himself was sitting right next to her. She couldnโt believe that the very person she once watched perform all those years ago was now sharing the same space as her.
It was a truly emotional moment that brought tears to all of us. A beautiful reminder of how powerful simple conversation and shared memories can be ๐๐ฉทโ๏ธ
