So many things to do
"But what do you do all day?" That's the kind of question I get from friends and acquaintances who wonder what life in a retirement community might really be like. I think they imagine I am stuck in my apartment or forced to follow a prescribed schedule. Maybe they wonder what they would do all day here. If that's the true question, there's no way I can answer that. We have more than 450 residents here and more than 450 ways to fill the day. Some people do lots of scheduled activities; others pursue their own interests, such as volunteering in the community, visiting with family, or traveling the world. I grabbed my camera earlier this month to see what kind of images I could capture of resident life. Click here to learn more and view my "Day in the Life of an Emerald Heights Resident" slide show.
Visit Marilyn's blog anytime. And if you have a question or comment, please send her an e-mail. She'd love to hear from you! |
