Living alone as a senior is n ot always good for one's health. You c an slip into lazy ways - like not bot hering to prepare nutritious meals if there is nobody to cook for or not b eing as social as one should be. So I came to the conclusion that it was ti me to make a change. If you have ever moved to a new home or neighbourhood, you know that it usually takes quite a whil e to get acquainted with your neigh bours. The congenial atmosphere here at Clair Hills along with the accommodating staff and f riendly community members (my n ew neighbours) made my move easy and seamless My suite is beautiful, my m eals are nutritious and delicious and I'm just a regular social butterfl y now, joining in on all kinds of ac tivities and outings from daily fitness p rograms to euchre to pub night. I ca n honestly say I am living life to the fu llest in my retirement years. Each morning I count my b lessings for choosing Clair Hills as my new home, and I say "home" be cause that is what Clair Hills has beco me to me.

They search deep inside themselves to bring us poetry and memory, helping us to understand ourselves. We have been blessed with a rich supply of recognized poets such as Sylvia Plath who shared her intimate suf- fering or Pablo Neruda who wrote some of the best love poetry. Yet beyond those whose poetry has been praised and published there is a wealth of undiscovered poets with insight and � air. � ey can be found in gar- deners, train spotters and procrastinators, collectors of stamps or parking tickets, those from faraway lands and those from the street. And poetry, dear reader, can be found in you. ••• Leslie Morgenson is a local writer. She can be reached by email at lesliemorgenson@ gmail.com.
