Being productive, accomplishing small or large projects
Turn to a family member or friend who you can share a love with and feel nurtured by

Taking care of your body's needs
Allow yourself to grieve and process your loss fully, so there are minimal reasons to go

Spend time in Nature
There are many modalities to find peace and calm throughout your day. It only takes a few
minutes and can be practiced as many times a day as needed. You can even start now.
And remember, you are not alone. Your support group is here for you, and many professionals
and hotlines can provide support services to help you regain a positive sense of yourself and
life.

Feel free to share this with ANYONE you think could benefit from these simple exercises. I
will post this on our FB page as well.

October outing
The Zoo was a fun outing. A great place to get outside, get a little exercise, and learn new
facts about the animal kingdom. Check out our photos below courtesy of Su, thank you, Su!
And stay tuned for upcoming meeting dates.
