Reflection (Tuesdays with Morrie): 28 of Feb 2013

When I read this book and see the actions that Morrie has, I am immediately reminded by my grandmother from my father’s side of the family. She has Alzheimer and each time I talk to her, she squints her eyes and pretends as if she knows who I am; however, this doesn’t stop her from talking about compassion and how “the other day” she saw a man helping a driver who had crashed his vehicle and things like that. Like Morrie, she is a patient elder. Although she doesn’t recognize you sometimes, she is still able to listen and nod along as you speak to her and constantly stops and squints her eyes to see if she is still speaking to you.

Today, I felt as if the reading schedule that we have is losing its value. I think that we are just reading to a page in which we think it is got to stop and this affects us during our discussions. I did get to get continuous discussions that ended up in some ideas for our advertisements. I have improved and I feel that the group doesn’t need a “force push” to get talking as we have more knowledge on the book.
