Activities that Challenge the Mind – when we were young, we learned in school. As we age, we learn to keep our minds sharp by challenging ourselves with new opportunities.
– Take a class – Highland Community College offers a great variety of courses seniors can enroll in;
• Join a book club;
• Visit the library – what a jewel it is for our community;
• Write your thoughts and memories in a journal – your grandchildren will appreciate it, and you might discover a new talent;
• Start a new hobby – sewing, quilting, arts and crafts, scrapbooking, photography, gourmet cooking, raised-bed gar- dening;
• Learn a new musical instrument;
• Attend plays, lectures, concerts – the Music Under the
Stars series at the Krape Park amphitheater starts soon;
• Visit a museum – Cedarville Historical Museum, Freeport Arts Museum, Lena Area Historical Museum, Silver Creek and Stephenson Railroad Antique Steam Train and Museum and the Stephenson County Museum.
Activities that Enrich the Spirit - there are many spirit- enriching activities you can do alone, including meditation, but group activities are, by far, more satisfying for many peo- ple. Involvement in church or civic organizations, or time sim- ply spent with family and friends are all spirit enriching activi- ties you can and should do.
• Senior Center – visit the Senior Resource Center to learn everything they have to offer and research volunteer oppor- tunities;
• Red Hat Society – sorry guys, it’s for Gals only;
• Traveling – investigate trips by banks, churches and other
organizations to expand your knowledge;
• Volunteer – the opportunities are limitless to help others:
- Nursing Homes;
- Hospital;
- Schools;
- Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) at Highland Community College;
- Library;
- Museums;
- Freeport/Stephenson County Visitors Center
• Contact the Highland Community College or FHN Speakers Bureau about presentations to your organization.
These examples are not all-inclusive, pick up a copy of the Freeport/Stephenson County Visitors Guide from the Visitors Center for more options or download it from their website – www.stephenson-county-il.org . You do not need to be active all the time. Set your schedule, as you please. Now is the time to do the things you love. Don’t be afraid to explore new activities, those you enjoy and those you discover. Most of all, RELAX. After all, you’ve worked hard. ENJOY!!
