Trying something new can feel daunting, especially when it's well outside your comfort zone. When Clair first joined our hydrotherapy classes, she was nervous and never considered herself a "water person." Two years later, she's not only grown in confidence but has also found some of her closest friendships through the group. What started as a way to support her hip has become one of the highlights of her week, both in and out of the pool!
What's the best thing that's ever come from stepping outside your comfort zone?
At 85, Sid decided it was time to swap the upkeep of a half-acre block for a lifestyle that gave him more time to enjoy the things he loves. Looking back, it's the friendships, Happy Hours, lunches with friends, and welcoming community that have made the biggest difference. Sometimes the best decisions aren't about what you leave behind, but everything you gain along the way!
One of the joys of our Community Wellbeing Program is getting out into the community and making memories together. A walk along the beach, an ice cream, plenty of conversation, and a beautiful summer's day are sometimes all that's needed to put a smile on everyone's face!
We'd love to know... which beach did you spend your summers at growing up?
