How is it that the holidays areover and we are already done withJanuary? One thing aboutKentucky that we enjoy is thevariance we experienceseasonally— with January havingboth record high and lowtemperatures. As the Poet Shellysaid, “If it is winter, can spring befar behind?”
February is actually one of ourbusiest months at Belmont Villageof St. Matthews, which is great,considering in the middle of colddreary days we all want a “spark”to keep us going until we canexperience a warmer breeze andsee the buds of spring.
February includes GroundhogDay, Chinese New Year, NationalWear Red Day, Valentine’s Day,Mardi Gras, Leap Day, and,needless to say, basketball season(Go Cards, Go Cats!) Please joinus as Kathryn schedules several“heart” related events— fromvoting for Mr. and Ms. BelmontVillage, to celebrating Go RedDay, to Heart Health lectures.
February 14 starts Random Actsof Kindness Week. It’s a great timeto show our love and appreciationfor the special people in our lives.It could be a small box ofchocolate candy or floralarrangement, or an act of kindnessthat is out of the ordinary. If youneed ideas, we’ll have a RandomAct of Kindness Jar at the Front
Desk that you can draw from.One of our main focus this
season is Wellness. More thanyour physical health, but anoverall look at your well-being.Your spiritual walk, youremotional health, your mentaland nutritional fitness as well. Nolonger do people say, “I’m 80 soI’m old.” Nowadays it is, “I’m80—what’s next in my life?” Andthat’s what we want to help youexperience—the next chapters inyour life. To provide our residentsthe best living environment toenhance their “Best Selves.”
I leave you with a poem byWalt Whitman that speaks tofriendship this month of love:
The glory of friendship is notin the outstretched hand,nor the kindly smile,nor the joy of companionship;it is in the spiritual inspirationthat comes to one when hediscovers that someone elsebelieves in himand is willing to trust him.It’s going to be a great month—
let’s not miss a single opportunityfor happiness!

Sweet ThinkingFeel free to indulge in a little
dark chocolate this Valentine’sDay. Among its antioxidantproperties and heart healthbenefits, chocolate with at least 70percent cocoa content canimprove blood flow to the brainand boost cognitive function.
The above artworks entitled“Winter Scenes" are some of thepaintings we recently created overa two-day period.Residents used both acrylic paintsand scrapbook paper to createunique 3-D works depicting winterin the mountains.You may say, “I could never dothat.” However, each resident whoattended that class began with “Ican’t do that,” then ended upwith “Look what I did!” They werebrave enough to come trysomething new. They knew thatthe end result, whether a Monet ora Mess, was not the true end goal.The hours we spent listening to funmusic, talking about every subjectunder the sun, and learning a newway to see old methods were thebest part of the days.With that said, I challenge EACHOF YOU who read this to join us inone of our several monthlyactivities featuring the Arts—whether painting, beading, poetry,art history, or others. The challengeis to get out of our heads that say“No, no, not me,” to “Sure, I’ll giveit a try!” Actually, don’t besurprised when I come knocking onyour apartment door to enlist yourparticipation. Whether you havedifficulty walking, using your hands,poor eyesight—they are ALL thingswe can adapt around!Come on! What do you have tolose?Kathryn Ray
