SPECIAL THANK YOU

We are very thankful for the many volunteers who help us to welcome prospective residents. We are thankful for Resident Tour Guides who walk prospective residents around our campus and answer their many questions. We are also thankful for the many volunteers who open their homes to prospective residents so they can see what it’s really like to live in the spaces. As a special thank you, later this month we will send 2023 planning calendars to volunteers who serve as tour guides and who open their homes for tours.

BEST GIFTS

Many of the best gifts in life come without monetary price tags….being seen, being loved, being unconditionally accepted, being treasured, being supported during times of loss. As we hunt for the perfect tangible gifts for those in our circle, may we remember those for whom the holidays may be challenging due to changes or losses experienced in the past year. - Sherilyn

5 WAYS TO STAY PRESENT THIS CHRISTMAS

“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.” Staying present is to stop looking forward to the next thing, slow down and enjoy right now.

1. Savor the moments – disconnect to re-connect. Christmas is all about spending quality time with family and friends. Our modern world makes it hard to be truly present, but Christmas is a great time to practice. Disconnect from screens to reconnect with the people that really matter in your life.

2. Spend more time being than doing. Although connecting with others is great for our health, spending 10 minutes a day to pamper yourself or to be on your own to enjoy being rather than doing is also important. Scheduling 10 minutes for yourself every day will reduce the festive tensions, as well as give your system a much-needed break.

3. Get outside to experience the magic. Thousands of studies have been done on the benefits of being in touch with nature; from reducing depression and anxiety to lowering blood pressure. Go for long walks with the family, a friend, your dog or simply on your own. Soak up the beauty of nature and notice how much more calm you feel.

4. Practice daily gratitude. Studies have shown writing three things you are grateful for every day for 21 days straight, increased people’s happiness levels, decreased their stress load and even boosted their immune system. Leave a notepad by your bed. Write three different things every day for which you are grateful. Aim for 21 consistent days to see if you too can discover the happiness advantage!

5. Give more than you ever expect to receive. I’m not talking about presents and I’m definitely not talking about money. In my opinion, the most valuable thing anyone can ever give is their time.

Doing something for a friend, helping a stranger, volunteering, making a present, completing random acts of kindness or simply taking the time to genuinely thank someone are great opportunities to spread joy. It is the best gift you can give others because it’s contagious! Here’s to great choices and positive changes to help you live your best life!
