We also use it for our comments, observations, editorials, announcements, encouragements and other messages more casual than the huge collection of facts that fills the rest of our pages. We are in the planning stages of a total update of the entire site, including a new layout and format. If you have suggestions, we will be happy to consider them. I have just returned from a visit with an older friend who recently moved to an active retirement center. I got to meet many of her new friends and listen to them talk about their experiences both before and after moving to this magnificent place that combines the best features of college campus, cruise ship, and luxury hotel.
Every day is filled with educational, recreational, social, and spiritual opportunities.
The food is great, and the staff is courteous and kind. As the conversations continued, I noticed that most of these people have already developed coping strategies to get their needs met. They draw on eight or nine decades of life experience, and most are doing very well, not just adjusting to their new circumstances but embracing them gracefully, with enthusiasm lightening their doubts and fears. And someday, when you have solved your current problems, you will find that you have learned not only how to deal with them but also how to deal with similar challenges in the future. Best wishes as you gain this knowledge and skill.
