A.M. so don't forget and prepare yourself

to "spring forward" with your clocks this

month. St. Patrick's Day is corned beef and cabbage for our

Irish Themed dinner that chef will prepare for you so don't

miss out. MARCH MADNESS is in the air! It's Basketball

season. Who will you cheer for? Also it's time to start thinking

about your art projects and get them ready for the Resident

Art Show to showcase your creative spirit.

Watermark University focuses on stimulating the mind and

strengthens the body which has enormous benefits at any age and

may even slow the process of memory loss. Besides being good for

you, keeping your brain and the body active and engaged does

not just improve our life - it's a whole lot of fun! When your day

seems topsy, turvy and as stormy as can be, there's nothing quite as

tranquil as a nice hot cup of tea. Come join me for a cup of hot Tea

and a sweet treat. We will be discovering teas from around the

world. While the custom of afternoon tea originated in Europe, the

beverage itself has ties around the world. Check the calendar for

exact date and time. We can't wait to have you join us!

THE GARDENS MEMORY CARE

May good luck be with you

wherever you go, and your

blessings outnumber the

shamrocks that grow. What

else is happening in the

month of March? It's Girl

Scout Month, so that means

cookies, oh yes… Women’s

History Month which is a

celebration of contributions

and achievements from

women. March 14 is the start of Daylight Saving Time, which

begins at 2:00 A.M. Don’t forget to “spring forward” or you may find

yourself an hour late to everything! The Start of Spring, on this day,

the Sun rises exactly in the east and sets exactly in the west—a

good thing to know if you get lost in the woods or at the beach if

you live at Sea Bluffs. According to folklore, wear a sprig of

rosemary in your hair to improve your memory! I hope you find

yourself smiling at the fact that sunshine is just around the corner

so get that pedicure booked ASAP, the sun is on its way! We have

an exciting line up of activities and events in the March calendar.

Irish Blessing

Let it go..... Wind down before bedtime

and have a peaceful sleep. Meditation is

a great way for you to release negative

thoughts before sleep and YOGA is

great to help relieve tension. Try

a Fusion class which is known to help

you go to bed with a clear mind as you

are guided through a process of

detachment of negativity. This

mindful exercise will help ease you into

a restful and relaxing sleep whilst

instilling passivity at the same time.

Indulge your body & soul in this relaxing

yoga and meditation session. This all-

sensory experience is done while seated.

enthusiasts report reduced stress,

decreased pain, increased range of

motion, improved posture, and an

increased feeling of overall well-being.

Path to Well-Being

February is gone and we begin a new month. We celebrated all month

long in February as there are so many holidays. First we all waited for the

results and Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow in 2021, which means we

are in for six more weeks of winter. We all watched the Super Bowl LV (55)

game and ate nachos and pretzels while watching the big game. Chinese

New Year was celebrated with a themed dinner menu of great food and

fortune cookies. Valentines Day was all about being with our friends and

connecting with the ones we love so dearly. Two days later was Mardi Gras

aka "Fat Tuesday" and our dining staff pulled out all the stops and we had

a themed dinner to celebrate. Wednesday was Ash Wednesday and Fr.

Phillip from St. Edwards church distributed ashes for anyone who wanted

them. March is on the way and we can't wait for spring!
