When world events get you down, count your blessings
When life gets all political and topsy-turvy, here’s what we’ve learned to do: we get thankful and count our blessings. Over the past couple of months, there have been many reasons why we’ve been so grateful and are feeling so blessed here at the Carleton Manor. Here are just some of the blessings we’ve counted recently:
- Volunteers who helped us undecorate Christmas throughout the entire manor!
- Playing card games and learning new games with staff, friends, family and volunteers!
- Singing our hearts out during Karaoke! Our rendition of Amazing Grace will bring tears to your eyes!
- Musicians who share their talent with us and sometimes get us up on the dance floor! Gary and Bob, Monday Gospel Musicians, the fabulously talented Louise Beers, the ukulele group, Gerald Gavel, and everyone who sits at our piano and tickles those ivories!
- McDonald’s social hour – packs a happy crowd every time!
- Seeing NBCC and WHS students up and down the halls, gaining hands-on experiences in various departments throughout the manor!
- Bus outings and shopping! And, of course, our bus drivers and helpers!
- The Ladies Auxiliary and all other beautiful souls who keep donating, visiting, and volunteering!
- Our competent, capable and lovely staff who are always there to care for us and nourish our bodies and souls (and sometimes jump on the dance floor with us)!
always brighten our day. (Submitted photo)
