My next door neighbor (SG) sent me a couple of pictures of flowers blooming in our Beautiful Courtyard ( Roses of various colors). She suggested this should be a topic I should write in my daily blogs. SG your suggestion is Great and here are some photos I took of the flowers both in your patio and in my patio ( Bougainvilla) as well as in the Garden Area of our Community. All my photos were taken in the late Afternoon of March 26, 2026.
The above four photos were taken by SG.
My Food For Thought for Today: Ways on how to maintain a positive attitude:
Maintaining a positive attitude can be achieved through a combination of mindset shifts, habits, and self-care practices. Here are some strategies that can help:
Reframe negative thoughts to find the silver lining
Surround yourself with positive people and environments
Take care of your physical and mental well-being through exercise, meditation, and relaxation
Set realistic goals and celebrate your achievements
Practice mindfulness and live in the present moment
Cultivate a growth mindset and view challenges as opportunities for growth
It's also helpful to find what works for you specifically and make it a consistent part of your daily routine.
Finally, I asked a few of My THD Fellow Residents, About their First Impression about Jimmy. our New Director of Resident Services. It was all positive with high hopes that enhancement of our Quality of Life is on the Horizon with Jimmy's Hiring:
First comment : He reminded me of Ted Treat, young and energetic.
Second Comment: He introduced himself to us during breakfast. He seems to have empathy for seniors.
3rd Comment: I hope he stays more than six months?
4th Comment: What exactly are his Duties? Will he be our Resident Liaison? Is he the person we can talk to regarding suggestions?
5th Comment: I have not met him in person. However, he is easy to look on and appeared very friendly
6th Comment: I am hopeful for the betterment of THD. I see him smiling most of the time and I can call him Mr. Personality!
7th Comment: He will be great, he is a graduate of Washington State University
8th Comment: I heard a new Activity Manager and Coordinator have been hired and expected to be here next month or Early May. Will they be under the direct supervision of Jimmy? If so, I hope this will end the rapid employee turn over in that section. For the last 3 years there were 10 to 12 employees turnovers in both Activity and Liaison Sections.
My Personal Take: I believe Jimmy will be a great Director of Resident Services, based from his previous experience at Touchmark in Bend, Oregon. See you all in Barbara's Farewell Party at the Pavilion at 3PM this afternoon.

David - The flowers here at Heritage and in our surrounding community have been an enormous pleasure for me over the past couple of years. I very much enjoyed your recent blog focusing on them and am comfortable in sharing with you a few of my own most recent pictures. Phil Paris
