James’ NoteHello 2016! How the heck did

you get here so fast and whathappened to your neighbor,2015?

Is it just me or did that year(2015) go way too fast? It seemslike we were just celebratingBastille Day and now we arecelebrating a whole new year!?!How are we going to slow it down(like Katie K. is always suggestingto me...)?

Here’s an idea to slow downtime...well, maybe not slow itdown but enjoy it while it whizzesby: Get involved with peoplearound you! Whether you join theMen’s Club outing (men), go on aouting that you haven’t triedbefore, join that game or newactivity, attend a lecture you’vealways been curious about, orsimply invite a new resident tolunch or dinner. It’s all aboutbeing social in 2016. Social, andinvolved.

Research tells us thatmaintaining social connectionsimproves well-being. In contrast,loneliness is not healthy as it candisrupt sleep, increases depressionand can elevate blood pressure(and all of that sounds grim).

Let’s face it, at Belmont Villagewe have a ton of things to do -and the majority of people movedin to stay social-- with one

another. So, enjoy the time as itwhizzes by, say ‘hello’ and be kindto one another.

I’ll see you all out there,involved! Trying to slow it down,one year after another.

~James

An average of370 people (all age groups) sufferfalls or injuries in the bathtub orshower each day. This is thesecond leading cause of accidentaldeaths or disabilities.

Complications such asmedication side-effects, reducedphysical ability and diminishedvision are contributing factors tofalls in the older person. Here aresome safety tips to help you whilein the bathroom:
