Eight Ways to Thrive Through Winter
With the darkest days of the year upon us, it is important to be aware that the shorter days can have detrimental effects on mood and energy. Here are eight tips one can employ to keep spirits high, no matter the weather or day.
Oh, My Aching Feet!
Feet are an oft neglected part of the body. Our poor feet get shoved into stiff, tight shoes every day and are rarely given the chance to function in their natural state: bare.
The Goat Parade Gala
The Gala benefits the Robert and Pearl Seymour Center and the Chatham County Council on Aging. If you can’t attend, you may donate!
Take a Walk
When was the last time you took a walk? I mean a real walk. Not a walk on a treadmill. Not a tromp from your car into the grocery store. Not a quick jog around the block to let the dog do her business.

We have flower children here at Galloway Ridge. Our community garden has 47 plots. These are divided between the veggie growers and the posy lovers.

“Better to be the one who smiled, than the one who didn’t smile back.”

Choosing the Right Attitude
Two components of wellness that can be particularly detrimental to healthy aging if they are not given proper attention are social and physical wellness.
Retirement is Bigger than More Time in Your House, It’s a Lifestyle!
People don’t retire so they can spend more time at home. No, real retirement means spending time doing what you want. Retirement community living makes that possible.
