WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS

MAKE THIS YEAR YOUR BEST YET

Each New Year brings with it a fresh

opportunity for reflection and growth in

every sphere of our lives. It is a chance

to enhance your personal wellbeing,

enrich your relationships with family and

friends, and improve your connections

with neighbors. Today is the perfect day

to begin living your life to the fullest. Pick

up that hobby you’ve been meaning to

try, adopt that healthy habit you’ve

been thinking about, or start saving for

that vacation you’ve dreamed of taking.

THE PEOPLE WHO MATTER MOST

Turning the page on a new year can also

be an opportunity to write a new chapter

when it comes to the people in your life

who matter most. Perhaps there’s a family

member you’d like to spend more quality

time with, or a friend you’d like to reconnect

with. Now is the ideal time to strengthen

these essential relationships.

SPREAD KINDNESS

The New Year provides an excellent

opportunity as well to spread kindness,

including to your neighbors here at

Normandy Towers. Extend a friendly "good

morning" greeting, hold the elevator door,

or offer to help carry groceries. Even a small

gesture can bring a big smile to someone’s

face. What a wonderful 2017 we will all have

if we treat ourselves, our loved ones, and

each other with kindness today and every

day. Here's to a New Year of opportunity!

Anita Lacey

Anita works at the University Hospital Geauga Medical Center and is proud of the fact

that she overcame many obstacles to complete her training as a nurse. She is an avid

reader who enjoys mysteries, dramas, romance novels, and just about anything in print.

She also likes to travel and would one day like to tour Italy and France. Anita’s friends

would describe her as loyal and honest, as well as spontaneous and adventurous. Those

are also great qualities that serve her very well in being a mom to her 8-year-old son,

Jayden. Anita moved to Normandy Towers just over 2 years ago. Having always lived in

a house, she was unsure how she would adjust to living in an apartment, but her terrific

experience here has completely changed her thinking! Anita loves the peaceful

ambience of Normandy, our friendly residents, and the cleanliness of our building and

grounds. She also appreciates our welcoming and helpful staff who, she says, "make

living here easy." Thank you, Anita, for being a part of our Normandy family!

"SAY CHEESE" IF YOU PLEASE!

The Euclid Public Library is proud to present

a monthly workshop dedicated to digital

photography. These interactive classes will

teach techniques for photographing live

action, landscapes, close-ups, portraits,

and more. The focus is on technical issues

(like when to use a flash), aperture size,

shutter speed and ISO settings, and also on

general principles like selecting a vantage

point and storytelling. Make sure to bring

your camera to participate in the exercises.

The next class will take place on Tuesday,

January 3, from 6:30-8:30pm, and future

classes will be held at that time on February

7, March 7 and April 11. The workshops are

designed for those new to photography,

but seasoned enthusiasts are welcome.

Tips for Better LivingPower Off and Tune In (adapted from www.cnn.com)

We all know that our loved ones deserve our undivided attention, but sometimes it's difficult to

resist checking our cellphone even while a family member or friend is talking to us. This

phenomenon now has a new name: “phubbing” – which means snubbing someone by paying

attention to your phone instead of to him or her. A new study by researchers at Baylor University

found that the typical American checks his or her cellphone 150 times each day, and that 70%

of people interviewed said that phubbing is impacting their relationships. Here’s a creative

solution: whenever you want to spend quality time with a loved one, pretend you’re on an

airplane that's about to take off. That means you’ll have to put your cellphone on "airplane

mode’" for at least 20 minutes. So, stow your phone, sit back, relax, and enjoy the conversation.
