Happy New Year! January is the time when we all welcome new
beginnings and set resolutions to make this year better than the last. But how
does one keep those resolutions throughout the year ahead? The New York Times
offers four suggestions: First, make a concrete plan, something visual to embed
it to memory. Second, put something you value on the line – is it your health
or your pocketbook – keep that in mind when you are tempted to break your
resolution. Third, bundle your temptations. For instance, you want to exercise
more, but struggle getting to the gym and you also have a fondness for gossip
magazines but feel they are a waste of time. Combine the two – read the
magazines only at the gym! And fourth, seek social support. You can achieve
more by pursuing goals with the help of a mentor.
Still haven’t made any resolutions? Resolve to join us every
month for a wide variety of events and activities. This month we explore our
creativity through music with outings to local musical performances, Elvis’
birthday celebrations and concerts by our Joyful Noise Choir. We invite you to
Welcome New Beginnings and make regular visits to Juniper Village part of your
new year’s goals!
Our fabulous January 2016 events in Louisville, CO at
Juniper Village at Louisville include our:
§
Juniper’s Tribute to the King of Rock and Roll
because at Juniper we know that there is no better way to celebrate Elvis than
to embrace the things he enjoyed, like Peanut butter banana bacon sandwiches,
and of course no tribute would be complete without an Elvis impersonator, and
while that is a celebration in and of itself, we didn’t want to stop there as
we will also have an American Band Stand Dance competition, and two winners will
be announced and awarded, so brush up on those dancing skills and get ready to
show us what you’ve got on January 7th from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm.
§
Music and Memory Showcase because music is
intertwined with our memories as since childhood we have used music as a way of
learning and bonding from the song on your first date or first dance as man and
wife, so we will talk about the influence of music with dementia, and we will
also update playlists for the residents, while we have a live demonstration and
talk about how we incorporate this therapy here at Juniper on January 13th
from 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm.
§
Celebrating Generations of Music as we host the
Monarch Elementary School Choir to connect our residents to younger generations
and create relationships that are not only beneficial for them, but also for
the youngsters, as having interactions like these allows for our residents to
impart wisdom that can be shared with the younger generations, and we are
thankful for our Neighbors at Monarch Elementary School as they are so active
here at Juniper, so join us on January 21st from 10:00 am to 11:00
am.
We look forward to sharing our January 2016 events in Louisville,
CO at Juniper Village at Louisville with you as we Welcome New Beginnings.
