Minds are like parachutes…..they function only when open.
Our duty is not to see through one another, but to see one another through.
Laziness is the habit of resting before you get tired.
Nostalgia: recalling things we never noticed when they happened.
Childhood passes like a turtle; old age, like a hare with a hotfoot.
If at first you don’t succeed, recheck the wastebasket for the directions.
Budgeting is like golf…you drive hard to get to the green and end up in the
hole!

You may not have set New Year’s Resolutions this year but maybe you had some goals in mind of what you’d like to do in 2022. At Thrive55+ we are here to help you achieve your goals. If you want to travel, check out our trips! Group travel can be fun and take the pressure off how you get around, where to eat and what to see in a short time. Often extended trips include time on your own to explore and down time. Maybe you thought you would sign up for a fitness class. We are getting back to a full line up of programs in fitness so please come and try a class.

Volunteering may be your thing. At Thrive55+, you can volunteer for a regular job or just for one event. If you like gardening, we have volunteers that manage the center’s garden. If you are computer savvy, check out volunteering in our Technology Center. There are education programs, cards/games programs and more at Thrive 55+. Don’t see something specific you want to try, tell us. Thrive55+ staff is always on the lookout for something new. So, please take the time to read through our entire newsletter to see what we offer.
Let us help you reach your goals for 2022!
