Positive thinking important at Parkway Place

-

Eleanor Porter’s novel

Pollyanna first debuted the bubbly, always-positive character Pollyanna 105 years ago this year. The literary heroine from the children’s classic is known for her constant positivity and knack for always finding things about which to be “glad.”

Pollyanna’s legacy continues today, but you don’t have to be a literature buff to understand the power of positive thinking. A positive attitude, it’s said, can make a dramatic difference on your day and on your life more than almost any other factor.

Residents at Parkway Place, a Buckner senior living community located in the heart of Houston’s Energy Corridor, understand this impact of positive thinking. In fact, they live off it.

You won’t get very far in the landscaped 15-acre community before finding a group of residents smiling and laughing together. Whether discussing the upcoming day’s activities over a hot breakfast in the restaurant-style dining room or engaging in friendly competitio­n over a lively game of chair volleyball, every day these residents choose to be positive.

And because they choose that, they experience richer, fuller lives.

A major factor in developing a positive life outlook is the ability to surround yourself with other positive people, and that’s exactly what Parkway Place residents get to do.

The independen­t living community frees residents from the hassle of regular home maintenanc­e and gives them the opportunit­y to pursue their ideal lifestyle through activities and outings catered specifical­ly to their interests.

It’s easy to be positive when you’re surrounded by people who care about you and share your life values.
