			When we are young, we focus more on physical activities. As seniors, our physical limitations shift our balance of needs more towards mental stimulation, and an activity program must meet those needs. By connecting food and nutrition with our garden, we find that our residents are drawn to the garden to walk around it and, interact with it. And it’s not just the physical action of walking, it’s the mental action of thinking about the garden and the flowers, watching a vegetable grow, smelling a rose, picking and eating a strawberry. Laughter therapy is another activity that we practice. We are learning to laugh and play with our pain while not taking ourselves too seriously (Marge Mason was a student in Annette Goodheart’s "Laughter Therapy" class this past summer). Healthy, non-ridiculing and connecting laughter provides physiological, psychological and spiritual benefits you probably never realized or imagined. We are born with the gift of laughter - it's being serious that we learn. We also use music to enlighten our spirits and provide activity. Marge Mason’s knowledge of music and experience as a professional musician and music teacher affords us the opportunity to involve all residents in the joy of music. Whether it’s playing a song on the "hand bells", playing the organ, or just singing along, everyone can participate and enjoy.
