The residents at the McGregor Home learned about the ways that they can reduce and even eliminate the stresses that senior adults face in their lives. They appreciated learning that there are very simple, accessible tools they can use to remain peaceful and optimistic.

  The residents at The Jennings Center for Older Adults learned how the practice of Gratitude Journaling helps provide a happy, optimistic outlook on life. They decided that next week they are going to go out and buy journal books and decorate them!

It was a relaxing day at the Cleveland Heights Senior Center today! We discussed ways to reduce stress, and we practiced a couple of different types of meditation. Then we did a gentle Yoga Stretching class and learned how yoga helps to balance or bodies, minds and spirits. What a great way to spend a rainy Fall day!

Many thanks to the Shaker Heights Senior Center for inviting me out to give my “Architectural History of Cleveland” presentation. The group learned about the history of several of our local buildings, as well as the historical “firsts” that occurred in Cleveland.

At our “Healthy Cooking” class at The Jennings Center today we discussed tips for good nutrition, and ways to get the vitamins and minerals we need to maintain our strength and health as we age. The group had lots of good questions and comments!
