I once told a sweet centenarian (a person who has reached the age of 100 years) at the nursing home where I worked that her hair looked pretty. She replied to me, "Thank you, it's old." I had to laugh!

From that moment on, I started paying more attention to verbalizations and those sweet moments of "joy" that I caught a glimpse of every single day.

This book is a compilation of many moments that caused me to smile. In my work as a music therapist and activity director in geriatrics, I found out that all one had to do was just listen and love. The joy was there.

A physician once said, "The best medicine for humans is love."

Someone asked, "What if it doesn't work?"

He smiled and said, "Increase the dose."
