September 2015 Events in Chatham, NJ: Spread Your Joy


As the air begins to cool and summer wanes, Juniper Village ends our “Stay Connected” series by recognizing Friendship and Joy. What is it that brings you joy? Is it the wet nose of a newborn pup? The smile of your first grandchild? The taste of a triple chocolate ice cream cone? Whatever it is we invite you to share that joy with others at Juniper Village this month.

Much attention has been paid to studies regarding the effects of stress on your health, but what about the effects of joy? The landmark “Nun Study,” as it's often known, revealed that positive emotion is correlated with longevity: 90% of the most cheerful quarter of nuns was alive at the age of eighty-five, whereas only 34% of the least cheerful quarter lived to that age. Similarly, 54% of the most cheerful fourth was alive at age ninety-four, versus 11% of the least cheerful. Of the 678 sisters in the original study about four dozen are still living. So go ahead, grab that triple chocolate cone it might just extend your life!

This month we invite you to “Spread Your Joy” as we honor our friendships in our Red Hat and Villager clubs and our Best Friends events; get our hands dirty at our Friendship Daffodil Project; and celebrate with our Birthday Party and House Warming Initiatives.

Our fabulous September 2015 events in Chatham, NJ at Juniper Village at Chatham include our:

§  Family Fun Day for this wonderful celebration on our great lawn, so bring the whole family for this fun-filled afternoon where we have it all; picnic, activities, and entertainment, including WDHA radio on-site broadcasting live, sponsored by Juniper Village as well as HomeWell Senior Care, Care One Whippany, Pine Acres Rehabilitation Center, Visiting Angels Living Assistance Services, Oasis Senior Advisors, and Compassionate Care Hospice on September 12th from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. (No RSVP required!)
§  Power Brain Bakery with Gregory Quinn, brain management consultant, who always surprises us with programs that involve energy, wellness, and movement, and this one really sounds like a treat – pun intended as he will share brain healthy baked goods and teach us some brain healthy activities, so join us as we power boost our brains from the inside out on September 17th at 2:00 pm.
§  How to Find Joy in Trying Times CEU program will benefit any professionals who counsel individuals facing life challenges and will not only assist you as a professional in providing counsel and support to those you serve, but will also give you strategies to use in your own life, because as professionals working with others, we must continually renew our positive energy to better serve our clients and families, so this is a must do class to prepare for the many stresses families face over the holidays on September 17th at 4:00 pm.
§  What Sparks Chemistry with Paul White, founder of HRGread (Huntington Reading Group) and a healthcare executive for over 30 years, this program explores comparisons of marital customs from around the world and will reveal some interesting and perhaps even strange customs that will intrigue and captivate your curiosity on September 24th at 6:30 pm.


We look forward to sharing our September 2015 events in Chatham, NJ at Juniper Village at Chatham with you as we Spread Your Joy.
