FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JANUARY 2018 13 A New Year and new beginnings! Welcome to paradise 2018. Many people start thinking about new involvements this time of year. We have so many amazing groups with even more amazing people that participate in them. Perhaps you've been thinking about picking up that instrument you used to play and didn't really have anyone else to play with? Well, you're in luck! There just happens to be a group band forming, called "The Concert Band." Resident Will Eisenhower is heading that up, and there is a sign- up sheet in the Lodge Lobby for more information. This should be a really fun one, because we have so many very talented musicians who live here. If "think-tanking" and ideas are your forte, there is another group called "Four Seasons Salon" forming. Contrary to the well-used title "Four Seasons Salon" which is referring to our hair, nails and massage facility, this "Four Seasons Salon Group" is focused around all kinds of heady thoughts and ideas (not political). Johanna Ballard, community member and intellect extraordinaire, is leading that group and is welcoming all who would like to be a part of it. See the sign-up sheet in the Lobby as well or contact Johanna Ballard at ballardlands@gmail.com . When considering new involvements, don't forget your annual resolution to eat more healthy food and exercise more often. There is nothing like revisiting a resolution that has become like an old friend that pops in for a bit of conversation to find out how you're doing. I love that little resolution. It's been so long since I've seen him around. There is a Four Seasons group to help keep that little resolution guy around a little longer this year, and it's called TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly). They are super nice people and they have had a lot of success in reaching those long hoped- for weight and health goals. Check out the Breeze calendar to find out what time they meet, and, while you're at it, glance up to see what time the exercise classes meet and check those out. You'll find yourself healthier and happier than ever for a great New Year. There are so many clubs, groups and classes to explore (over 72 in all) that you could visit a new one every week and not duplicate your visits. Get curious and do something new for yourself this year! I'm not even going to mention the fact that this is the month (For real) that the Ballroom construction is completed and out of our hair forever. Peek in the Ballroom this month and see if the magic is underway. I can only hope. I have seen all of the plans and I know that they are fantastic, so as soon as it's reality, it will be incredible! Stay tuned and find out! Activities Director Corner By Cindy Graves, Activities Director
