Today we visited our friends at the Gary and Mary West Senior Wellness Ctr. I was very excited to be coming back to this location because I feel I have created strong bonds with some of the people there, strong enough in that they recognize me and shout for me from across the room when I arrive as in the case of my two good friends Francis and Nelly. It was so good seeing them again. Initially they wanted to know what our class visit was going to be about and I told them we were going to be doing a life exchange group where we had some cards with some questions on them that they could answer. They seem interested initially then they began just talking about their lives and how things have been going for them since we last talked and I was totally okay with that. Francis began talking about how she started driving for lyft and how exciting that was and it was really nice to see that she was enjoying it because she said she was meeting a lot of different people and I believe this is a great opportunity for her to be able to socialize with different groups of people. Also, Francis gave me an update on her status on moving into a more permanent home situation and that she has been on the waiting list for a long time and she just received news that she moved up to sixth place on the list which is a significant jump from where she was prior. Francis was really excited about this because it will create a better living condition for herself she says. Talking to Nelly for a bit was quite joyous as well she was excited to see everyone and you can truly get a sense that it completely brightens her day when the LCS members come to chat with her. All in all, it was a great day spent at the West Center.
