Touchmark held events to celebrate Active Aging Week and support local charities. They hosted a royal baby shower that raised $245 for a child care center. The newsletter promoted upcoming community events like musical performances, classes, and holiday celebrations. It also provided information on exercise programs and massage services at the on-site fitness club. An article discussed how volunteering and generosity can contribute to longevity and quality of life.

2. Sharing the love
In honor of the birth of England’s new prince,
Touchmark hosted the Royal Baby Shower to
benefit Nokomis Child Care Centers. Touchmark
team members, residents, and the public donated
items, like paper towels, diapers, wipes, toys,
craft items, and clothing for infants to 5-year-olds.
The group also presented checks totaling $245 to
Nokomis. Resident Vi Halvorson knitted baby hats
and booties, and Bob Jordheim, MD, donated a

I live, because
I’m happy
“I sing because I’m happy …”
– Ci vilia Durfee Martin
Last month, this column
focused on the happiness
research, which is a bit startling
and constantly changing. This
month, the focus is on what
works to make people feel
empowered, engaged, and free
from as many health/mental/
environmental constraints as
possible.
Aging brings its own
complications—less muscle,
reduced energy quotient,
elevated (or lowered) blood
pressure, financial worries
about resources to care for one
self and/or spouse for as long
as needed, loss of friends and
family. The data, though, show
that many people are living
long and well—even into their
100s. How can that be?
Interestingly, the simple
answer is “thankfulness.”
We focus a lot on the word
thankful during this season.
One can be thankful in private,
but that is only part of the
formula for a good quality of
life. Thankfulness accelerated
by good works and generosity
is the key component to the
wellness prescription.
Even individuals who are
physically impaired or
cognitively challenged set
themselves apart by being part
of the solution to the unmet
needs of others. The expanded
vision of others and good works
can empower people who
cannot volunteer in traditional
ways.
Touchmark believes in
philanthropy. The Touchmark
Foundation is a 501(c)(3)
public charity formed by
Touchmark in 2002. Its
mission is “to enhance the
well-being of seniors.” The
foundation is dedicated to
providing programs to help
ensure that seniors have what
is necessary to make their lives
comfortable, satisfying, and
engaging. At this time of year,
food boxes are given out at
each Touchmark community to
help families in need.
To be part of Touchmark’s
Community Partners and
Volunteer efforts, contact a
member of the Full Life team.
Thank you for caring and
sharing.

BRAIN BUILDERS
Tongue twisters require
concentration and challenge
pronunciation skills.
For an added challenge, try
memorizing and saying the
twister out loud.
Betty Botter had some butter.
“But,” she said, “this butter’s
bitter.”
If I bake this bitter
butter, it would make my
batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter—
that would make my batter
better.
So she bought a bit of butter,
better than her bitter butter,
and she baked it in her
batter, and the batter
was not bitter.
So ‘twas better Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter.
