Improvement: New Year’s Resolutions

Bea Well’s Buzz on Health: The Winter Blues

Aging With Grace®

Page 2

Some other ways to fight the win-ter blues are : 1. Enjoy activities unique to the

season. Ice skate. Feed the birds. Make a snowman, etc.

2. Wear bright colors. 3. Stock up on Vitamin D...food

sources are best. 4. Make a movie and book list. I

like comedies. 5. Hang with positive people.

6. Learn something new...your brain will thank you!

7. Start a new project. It will dis-tract you from your sadness.

8. Eat winter mood food. Fire up the crock pot.

9. Try a sun lamp early in the day.

10. Sit by the fire. But you need not go to the trouble of build-ing a fire in your house: You can borrow someone else’s fire — even a coffee shop’s — or you can simply light a few can-dles and enjoy a primal mo-ment.

Dinner Menu Dinner is from Noon To 1:00

We have a routine that begins at

11:30. First, we put the tables

and chairs back after exercising.

Then, uplifting instrumental mu-

sic and beautiful pictures are put

on the big screen television in the

Linton Lounge (the space we use

as the dining room). Next, the

table is set with tablecloth,

chargers, knife, fork, spoon, and

cloth napkins. The hand sanitizer

is passed. Then the milk is poured

and placed on the table. The din-

ing director asks each member

if they would like tea or coffee

with their meal and makes sure

each member has water in front

of them. Then the music is

paused and the dinner bell is

rung, signifying it is time for a

moment of silence for thankful-

ness. After that the salad or

fruit is served with the bread,

followed by the main course. As

the disposables are cleared after

the meal, the dining director

Breakfast Menu Continental Breakfast 8-9

Breakfast at Aging With Grace is a

quiet time...a time to prepare for

the day. We love the smell of hot

coffee brewing as we make prepa-

rations for the activity that follows

breakfast. We have a local morn-

ing paper available for members

to look over at their leisure. Other

members prefer to work a cross-

word or a word search. Still others

like reading a morning scripture

or devotional. And some just look

at the pretty pictures on the big

Volume 5, Issue 1 Page 4

screen television that is hooked

up to the internet as they drink

their beverage. We love to find a

beautiful video to watch and

good music (usually oldies but

goodies) to listen to as we slowly

wake up each morning. Not eve-

ry member who comes in the

morning eats with us, but we

always encourage the consump-

tion of liquids and make sure

each member has bottled water

in front of them as soon as they

January Tea & A Tale Time Menu

Tea & A Tale Time 3:30 To 4:30

Each day our afternoon tea is a

time of refreshment and re-

energizing with a snack and a

beverage. We also cheer ourselves

up with jokes and funny stories.

Have you heard these?

My husband and I purchased an

old home in Upstate New York

from two elderly sisters. Winter

was fast approaching and I was

concerned about the house's lack

of insulation. "If they could live

Volume 5, Issue 1 Page 5

here all those years, so can we!"

my husband confidently

declared. One late November

night the temperature plunged

to zero, and we woke up to

find interior walls covered with

frost. My husband called the

sisters to ask how they had

kept the house warm. After a

rather brief conversation, he

hung up. "For the past 30

years," he muttered, "they've

gone to Florida for the winter."
