Embrace the positive power of fun

-

A cheerful heart is good medicine.

Proverbs 17:22

Whether one is 5 or 105 years old, fun is ageless, joyous and necessary to a well-rounded life. Laughter echoes through your life and rejuvenate­s your spirits.

You could be watching a television show with a friend, playing a game, or strolling in the garden with likeminded friends; fun is always and essentiall­y the nectar that sweetens every activity.

Here’s a quote from one of the Parkway Place residents: “When I first moved here, I was already involved in a lot of activities, so my time was limited. I’ve found there’s so much to do here there’s not enough time for everything! I planted zinnias in the resident garden and each time I see them it makes me smile.”

Telling a good story is also fun, or enjoying conversati­ons over dinner. Fun is 1,001 delights, coming in all shapes and forms, imbuing you with optimism and igniting the imaginatio­n. Fun helps build deeper connection­s with others as well and contribute­s to a strong sense of community.

That’s why Parkway Place’s emphasis is on having fun. There are a myriad of activities that promote fun, companions­hip, and better all-around health and wellness. The safety and security of residents is of paramount importance as well.
