Dear Poet’s Walk Residents, Family, and Friends,

This summer is definitely different than any of us had planned. Everyone is adapting to all the changes in the world and social distancing. From facemask wearing to learning how to be tech savvy overnight. The world is definitely a different place than it was just a few months ago. To stay up to date with all the changes that are happening during COVID 19, our community hosts a twice weekly calls on Wednesday and Fridays at 2pm. There is no need to RSVP for these calls, just call the community and the concierge can get you the conference call login information.

If you would like to get to see your loved ones while social distancing we are currently offering window visits three times daily, as well as FaceTime and zoom calls throughout the day. Call the concierge to set up a time with a manager to assist you in scheduling these visits. For those that have already been able to do window or virtual visits, I can tell you how much your loved one really enjoying getting to spend time with you in this new way of visiting.

I want to thank each of you for all the love and support you have given to all of the staff during this difficult time. Thank you for all the snacks, goodies, facemasks, cards, emails and words of encouragement.

Sincerely,

Christine MossExecutive Director

Enrichment through Literature: Energy Bus Positivity Boost‘The Energy Bus’ Chapter 22-25 Spotlight

“The goal is not to be better than anyone else but rather be better than you were yesterday.” – page 91

“Emotions can lift you up or bring you down. E-motion stands for energy in motion and your emotional state is all about how the energy is flowing through you.” – page 95

“The key is to feel good. When you feel good everyone around you feels good.” – page 96

“The gifts you bring to the world are not found in your resume, accomplishments or presents to others. The gift is your presence of feeling good and being happy and bringing this to others.”

– page 96

“Too many people try to please others and this only makes them unhappy. Better to focus on feeling good and letting this feeling and happiness shine on others.”– page 96

“Every struggle, every challenge, every adversity brings you closer to your heart, to your true self, to who you really are. Sometimes you got to be broken down to the point where you feel

powerless to discover your ultimate and true power.” – page 99

“Deciding to become a Chief Energy Officer means that you share positive, powerful and contagious energy with your co-workers, employees, and customers! It means you communicate

from the heart.” – page 104

Rule #7: Enthusiasm Attracts More Passengers and Energizes

Them During the Ride.

“Chief Energy Officers live and work with enthusiasm. They tap the power of their heart by getting excited about being alive, by filling up with loads of positive

energy, and by being optimistic about life and work. They don’t let fear stop them. No, they charge forward with

positive and powerful energy and look at challenges as an opportunity to learn, grow and succeed.” – page 108
