I made it EARLY today for once (shout out to my roommate for giving me a ride). After giving a recap of the “life at 20” talks from the last two weeks, half of the class presented on the assigned book of the quarter: “Happiness is a choice you make: lessons from a year among the oldest old.” It was really interesting to discuss the book with the class as the discussion questions really made me think about deeper topics such as how to approach “Do not resuscitate” and how to lead more healthy lives rather than just simply prolonging it in terms of taking medications. I believe we should have more holistic programs available at hospitals as medications are not the only solution. Peer groups, team-building activities, preventative education, and retreats all are examples of what can lead a healthier life, both physically and mentally. We then convened in our separate HAP groups. We were able to secure dates with both Potiker and Bayside for our “Gateway Growing” succulent party (flyer attached above)! Both centers are very excited for the intergenerational activities. Now we have to send a budget plan and plan which supplies and refreshments are best to make this party reach its full potential!
