Thanksgiving
is just around the corner, and, it is indeed a perfect time to celebrate with
loved ones; so it is not surprising that our Alive in All Seasons focus for the
month of November is families: Cherish the Journey! Matsuo Basho wrote “every
day is a journey, and the journey itself is home”. These beautiful words remind
us of the importance of cherishing this journey of life through celebrations
that bind us together; family and friends, nurturing our spirits and fulfilling
us in deep and meaningful ways.
This month as we celebrate our Alive in All Seasons theme of
family: “Cherish the Journey”, we will be hosting many wonderful activities and
events with our focus on family! We will be working with residents, families,
associates and friends to create family trees and start autobiographical
journals. We will enjoy rich and meaningful activities utilizing the
traditions, customs and skills of many of our family members, friends and all
the significant people that have impacted our lives. We will reminisce about
favorite family recipes, learn about families in different cultures, and join
together in giving thanks. These activities will foster the development of deep
connections with one another, thus, allowing us to cherish and celebrate each others’
lives. We will enjoy the opportunity to create and relish more memories of
delightful moments along this beautiful journey of life together!
We invite you to join us as we celebrate the beautiful gift of
family, sharing some of your time treasured stories, traditions, customs and
wisdom gathered with your loved ones on your journey together! We are filled
with gratitude as we give thanks for yet another year bringing joy to the lives
of all those on our path! We wish all of our families and friends a beautiful
Thanksgiving holiday overflowing with rich abundance! All this month we will also
be hosting several highlighted family and community events that include: our Fall
Food Drive benefiting those less fortunate through Lebanon County Christian
Ministries all month, our Happy Hour Trivia featuring challenging questions and
pub style refreshments on November 8 at 6 pm, our Honor Our Veterans
multi-media presentation on November 11 at 6 pm, and our How to Prevent Falls educational
workshop on November 21 at 1:30 pm. We encourage you to review our calendar and
join us for any or all of our events as we celebrate families and Cherish
the Journey!
