BoardA Message From the

We Salute You,Caregivers

Think of the word “caregiver”and you’re unlikely to questionhow the term got its name. Tocare is “to be concerned” and togive is to “offer to another.”Someone who offers theirconcerns for another iscompassionate, kindhearted andundoubtedly needed. For all thethings caregivers do, fromassisting with everyday tasks toproviding companionship and alistening ear, they deserve muchpraise. We offer a heartfeltthanks and a special salute to allthe caregivers in ourcommunity!

Explore Your TalentsWe all have different gifts, eachof which came because of the

grace God gave us.Romans 12:6a (NCV)

The recent Mother’s DayCelebration was an opportunityfor me to meet a few residentsfor the first time. One suchencounter was with a womanwho expressed her longtimeinterest in writing. When shewas made aware of my writinginspirational articles for theArcadia Gardens Newsletter eachmonth, she expressed a desire toget back into writing-a worthystep forward.

Our talents may be hidden;discovering them will enrich ourlives. A glance at the ArcadiaGardens monthly schedulereveals at least two activities wecould look into where we mayunearth a talent we never knewwe had.

One such activity is “CanvasCreation,” which is held in theExercise Room on Tuesdays @3:30 p.m. Another activity is“Arts and Crafts” held in theGame Room on Thursdays @6:30 p.m. Both activities are ledby Rick Stubbs, Activity Director.

Why not give it a try? Youmay be surprised at what youwill discover.
