Greetings and yes, it is great to be home! Especially as it’s the time we celebrate marvelous women and for their maternal instincts! I don’t believe women generally, and particularly older women, give themselves enough credit for their past abilities, capacities, or achievements; nor their current capability and value. Especially you, our clients.
Our HKCT drivers often mention journeys hearing what you did during wars, as career women, raising families, contributing to the community. Please never underestimate yourself and what you can still do! Yes, bones creak more and no doubt we all are slower than we’d like but that should not prevent us from taking an interest, rekindling a habit, making an effort and learning. This goes for the men amongst our HKCT family, too! Being curious not judgmental, considering something new, testing new food tastes or TV or music programs…magical moments are still to be had when we open ourselves up to possibilities. Isn’t that how we taught our children? Isn’t that the example you still are or can be to your children, grandchildren and neighbourhood children? Dare I send out a battle cry: “Oldies unite—we’ve got a mind, a valid identity and we are going to prove it” To ensure your ‘grey matter’ is fully engaged, Bridget has put together a remarkably diverse program this month. There are subtle changes occurring, as you would have heard at our Consumer Meeting on April 30th (and can still hear—book now if you haven’t already, please). Our client survey results were very positive, with awesome feedback and encouragement for some necessary changes. As we apply continuous improvement strategies to grow our capacity to meet demand for our transport services and to meet higher operational costs, please know everything we do is to your ultimate benefit. You can count on us to continue to challenge you to get out and about with us, adjust a thought or two, contemplate possibilities and not just make excuses or expect special consideration for your age or circumstances. Before I sign off, I am sure you are aware of the increase in postage costs to $1.50 for a standard DL sized letter. As such, regrettably we must lift the annual charge to receive our newsletters by post to now $20. Please remember, there is no need to worry about getting old: only worry about thinking old! So please stop thinking old immediately!!! May your May be mindful and magical.
