Greetings from Joslyn Adult Center! This time each year we pause and reflect on the things that we are thankful for. This year has brought unique challenges that have impacted us as individuals, and as a community. We have all experienced some type of loss: people we love; traditions we treasure; and daily practices we once took for granted. With all of these changes, practicing gratitude may be more important than ever. Taking time to remember the goodness in our lives can increase our general happiness and overall health. In fact, studies show that gratitude can increase mental resilience in older adults. 1 There are many ways we can foster gratitude in our lives: writing in a gratitude journal; sending a thank you note; meditating; or calling a friend. Our team at Joslyn is thankful for each and every one of you. We miss seeing you every day, but we are grateful that we still get to see some of you at lunch pick-ups, talk to you on the phone, and see you participating in our virtual activities. We are still working hard to add new FREE virtual programs and activities. On November 25, we will be hosting a Thanksgiving themed Virtual Bingo, sponsored by Regal Medical Group. It’s free to play, and there are prizes! On December 1, we will be hosting a Zoom presentation on Medicare. Join us to learn more about benefits before the enrollment cut-off. Our team is open to ideas for new classes, and available to answer questions about virtual activities. If you are interested in participating but are not sure how, please do not hesitate to call us. We are happy to walk you through the first steps to get you started. Happy Thanksgiving!
