This year has been tough on everyone: the young and the old, the rich and the poor. The stock market crashed, people have fought over toilet paper (out of all things), and millions have been forced to quarantine at home. There was no way of predicting the catastrophic damage COVID-19 would have on the world, but here we are. Even with all the gloom and doom around us, there are still plenty of reasons to be grateful. If you are sitting reading this, then you have a right to be thankful. You are alive, breathing, and able to enjoy another day with the people you love. You have a roof over your head, access to the internet, and functioning eyes. You are blessed. There are people all over the world living in slums worried about this new deadly virus and whether they will have enough food to eat tomorrow. When you think things are in bad shape, others are suffering too. Do your best to find gratitude for the space that you’re in and the opportunity you have to make tomorrow better. Reach out to the people you love, send gifts to your loved ones living in assisted living facilities. But most importantly, tell the people that you genuinely care for that you love them. Now more than ever, keeping up with our communication and letting others know that they matter can help relieve some of the pain we are all living in. Do your part, be grateful, and take advantage of the day. Not all of them are promised. So, keep on showing up for your seniors, and please continue practicing gratitude. This crisis will be over soon enough.
If you have an underlying condition like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or respiratory conditions, shelter in place and stay away from others or busy areas. For the most up-to-date information about the Coronavirus, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Let’s Take a Moment to Remember the Attack on Pearl Harbor Today
Today is Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, which is a reminder of the tragedy that happened this day in 1941. Franklin D. Roosevelt said it was “a date which will live in infamy” as the surprise attack by the Japanese Imperial Army caused more than 2,000 people to be killed. Four very important U.S. Navy battleships sank, and four others were damaged along with hundreds of aircraft destroyed or damaged.
We would like to remember those who lost their lives, their families and those who lived through the tragedy. It is important to never forget this day as it marked an important event in history that changed the lives of many as it also led to declaring war on Japan and entering WW2.
Educate your family members and anyone from younger generations as they may not know the importance of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Point out to them how government buildings and most places that have an American Flag fly them at half-mast out of respect. History must be remembered!

Happy Veterans Day to our nation’s heroes
Today is Veterans Day and OurSeniors.net Magazine would like to honor our team members and readers who are veterans.
As many of us may know, Veterans Day was when World War I ended and fighting ceased with an armistice between Allied nations and Germany. It happened on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Although it initially was meant to honor those veterans of World War I, it turned into an observance day for all those who have fought toward the effort of peace during war.
OurSeniors.net has found it important throughout the years to ensure our veterans are always honored and taken care of. What we like to do is team up with organizations that focus on veterans’ services so our senior veterans know what benefits can be provided to them.
Thank you, gentlemen, for your photo representing Army, Navy and Air Force and thank you for your service!
