The Standale Social
The desire of Retirement Living is to honor God by providing the elderly
with a lifestyle that values their identity, their independence, and their dignity.
As we look forward to the arrival
of spring, I can't help thinking
about the word renewal. As the
dreary winter days become fewer
and fewer, we have the hope of the
renewal. The renewal of our soul,
mind, and body. We look forward
to shedding the layers that winter
requires and spending time enjoying the spring air and sunshine. We are renewed by the longer
and lighter days and the sweet smells in the air. The promise of
spring is a great reminder that following every season of darkness and gloom, there freshness and a reawakening of our
senses.
Sometimes during seasons of change we can experience feelings of anxiety and fear about the unknown and we resist
change. Even though the change is for our good and helps us to
grow into who God is refining us to be... we still struggle.
Sometimes we need to leave behind things that are familiar and
things that have been blessings in our life in order to embrace
the new blessings God has prepared for us.
As I find myself in a season of change and prepare myself to
embrace the changes and new opportunities that lie ahead of
me. I also recognize the residents, families and staff here in
Standale are also in a time of change. I know we serve a faithful God and I can't wait to see the blessings He provides in the
days to come, even through the changes.

February 25th we took a travelogue trip to Hawaii. In
Kauai we took a helicopter ride over the island seeing
the Na Pali coast and Waimea Canyon. In Hawaii we went to
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to see lava flowing into the ocean,
visited the botanical garden, saw amazing sunsets and then enjoyed a
refreshing Pina Colada (non-alcoholic)
after an afternoon of sightseeing.
