Sir, – What a wonderfully uplifting and joyous letter was Maeve Taylor’s (January 23rd).
In these trying times, it should inspire people of all ages to share positivity rather than pessimism and learn that real peace and happiness come from within. Wouldn’t the Government be wise to harness this spirit to help our people to cope with the continuous stream of bad news one reads?
Perhaps Ms Taylor would head up a “think-tank” to utilise the unique qualities of older people. Although perhaps 10 or so years her junior, I for one would be happy to help. – Yours, etc,
