Experiment with using different media, such as colored pencils or chalk pastels. Meaningful mail — Set a schedule for sending handwritten notes a few times each month. Whether a friend, grandchild or another person in your life — think about your hairdresser, barber or librarian — the recipient is sure to smile when reading your words. Eating adventures — Pick five new restaurants to try this year and invite friends and relatives to join in. You may discover a new favorite! Expanded interests — There’s always a new hobby to master, from watercolor painting and origami to learning how to play poker or chess. Or take part in a new type of fun exercise, such as line dancing or laughter yoga. Greetings Barrington Family and Friends There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow... Allow me to get personal with you for a moment as I share my love for the “Happiest Place on Earth.” Disney World is a huge part of my family’s lifestyle, and we try and make it there a few times a year to experience joyous, life-long memories, set aside the troubles of everyday life and just be happy. There’s an attraction at Disney World that opened in 1975 called the “Carousel of Progress.” Families sit in their seat, and the room begins to move in a circle, like a carousel. What you’ll witness is the same environment in every scene, but each scene shows how the environment changes through a number of decades. It’s incredible; the difference a matter of five years, 10 years and even 50 years makes! One thing stands out the most with this attraction: it’s name. It’s not the “Carousel of Regression” or the “Carousel of Decline,” it’s the “Carousel of Progress.” The Barrington opened its doors in 1986; 31 years ago. Oh, how I wish I could sit on the ride “Barrington Carousel of Progress” and just watch it mature, evolve and be molded into the incredible life-filled community it is today. Just as we experience in the attraction at Disney, The Barrington has maneuvered through its share of changes, too. My vision for the New Year is to make sure the Barrington experience of 2018 is one of “progress.” I’m excited to see this community grow and develop, with our residents at the helm, guiding the way. You make this carousel ride worthwhile, and I hope you are filled with an excitement and anticipation for all 2018 has in store for us!

Cozy ComfortsThe weather outside looks frightful, but you’re inside safe and warm, wrapped in a snuggly blanket, enjoying a steaming mug of cocoa and a good book. This experience is a classic example of hygge, the Danish way of living that focuses on coziness and contentment.
Central to Denmark’s culture since at least the 1800s, hygge — pronounced “hoo-gah” — has become a popular décor and lifestyle trend. Fuzzy socks, thick blankets, warm drinks and crackling fireplaces are just some examples of the concept. But hygge is more than just familiar, comforting objects; it’s also about appreciating the simple things in life and connecting with loved ones.

Surrounding yourself with friends and family, playing a board game and listening to each other’s laughter, is just as important as wearing a treasured sweater and curling up in your favorite chair. Another essential element is the food — typically hot beverages, homemade desserts and comforting dishes such as chicken pot pie.
