Hi Everyone,

About a year ago, Becky Graham, our Director of Recreation, introduced our residents to journaling. She provided residents with their own notebook and started a Journaling Club that meets every other Friday afternoon. They write about their own life experiences which covers numerous topics. At the end of each session, they read what they have written and discuss their entries. The residents who participate in this club absolutely love writing their memoirs and sharing with others their life stories. It's an incredible way to get better connected with each other! These individual journals will eventually be given to the resident's family to become a cherished keepsake! See below for some journaling pictures.

Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend and God bless you.

Best Regards,

Patty Mathew
Executive Director

This is one of my favorite activities. Listening to their life stories has been such a treat for me. I can't tell you how much I love it.
