Happy New Year !!!Happy New Year to you all as
we welcome 2016 and theexcitement a New Year brings. I’vealways thought January to be sucha refreshing month. For many,January and the New Year give usa fresh start – a reason to reboot,recharge and reinvigorateourselves. It’s a time to set newgoals and find new motivationsthat can keep us inspiredthroughout the year.
January is also NationalMentoring Month, the perfecttime to consider becoming amentor. Research shows thatyouths who are mentored havehigher self-esteem and do better inschool, often moving on to highereducation. They also have a lowerrisk of engaging in risky behavior.
As a senior, you haveexperiences, knowledge and skills
that are extremely valuable to ayoung person. By sharing whatyou’ve learned, you can help yourmentee solve problems andaccomplish goals. You may evenlearn something new yourself!
The ultimate purpose ofmentoring is to provide youngpeople with a trusted adult whocares about them. You can be asafe person with whom a child orteenager can share their concernsas well as new and exciting thingsin their life.
Mentoring is often donethrough specific communityprograms, but there’s no reasonyou can’t find someone to mentoron your own. You are sure to findthat mentoring is fun andbeneficial for both of you!
5 Things About: January• January is the coldest month
in the Northern Hemisphereand the hottest month in theSouthern Hemisphere.
• Scholars say the nameJanuary derives from theLatin word for “door.”
• With the exception of leapyears, January begins on thesame day of the week asOctober.
• The birth flower for themonth is the carnation.
• The third Monday of Januaryis recognized as MartinLuther King Jr. Day.

“A common area where seniorsoften end up having accidents isfalls, in the bathroom, andhelping prevent those kinds ofaccidents is what January’sNational Bath Safety Month isabout.” (1) “Over 75% of slip-falldeaths happen to people who are65 years and above.” (2) A studypoints out that one-third of fallsoccur at home in the bathroom.With the smooth surfaces andmoisture of water, this can equal arisky place for falls. An average of370 people (all age groups) sufferfalls or injuries in the bathtub orshower each day. This is thesecond leading cause of accidentaldeaths or disabilities.
Complications such asmedication side-effects, reducedphysical ability and diminishedvision are contributing factor to
falls in the older person. Here aresome safety tips to help you whilein the bathroom:

Giving back to those in need isone of the most gratifying feelings,especially when the one in need isan animal. The Circle of Friendsgroup had an incredibly rewardingouting to the Agoura AnimalShelter in December. Theydonated handmade blankets tohelp keep the animals warm andcomfortable in the winter months.They also had the opportunity tointeract with the animals. This wasa gratifying moment sharedbetween the animals, all residentsand staff who attended the outing.Moving forward into the NewYear, we hope to keep this “goodfeeling” going. What a great wayto end 2015 and start 2016.
