My favorite 103-year-old passed away today. Her biggest advice was to be kind to everyone, even when they don’t deserve it. And to start and end every day with an oatmeal raisin cookie. So go shopping for cookies today and be nice to everyone you meet ❤️

APP’s are such an integral part of the PALTC setting. We really should be focusing on their roles more. I would fall apart without my NP’s!
