Pretend to be a Time Traveler

“Wait a minute doc, are you telling me you built a time machine . . .

Do you remember this line from the movie “Back to the Future”? This was a fun movie from 1985 with a premise that you could go back in time. Today we are using our imagination as we observe Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day.

The possibility of time travel has been around for a long time.  In India, one of two major Sanskrit epics has King Raviata Kadkumi going to heaven then returning to find that many ages have gone by.  Charles Dickens wrote “A Christmas Carol” in 1843 and has Ebenezer traveling forwards and backwards.  In 1895 H.G. Wells wrote “The Time Machine” and in 1963 the BBC produced “Dr. Who, a tale of a professional time traveler.”

Private Home Health Care understands that as we age we can long for the people in our lives who are no longer with us.  Take some time today and this week to remember and share good memories.  Think about what it would be like to go back in time.  Who would we visit? What would we say to them? What would we do?
