Spring is the perfect time to reassess the Mind, Body, Spirit balance of our lives. It’s so important to maintain a level of self-care and self-love, especially in today’s hi-tech, fast paced world. With the busy-ness that is so often the status quo of our daily lives, it is easy to go off track and suddenly not feel quite like ourselves.
Baby Boomers—those born between 1946 and 1964—are especially mindful of this. As spring opens up a new stage in nature, retirement similarly offers a new stage in life. Boomers see retirement as an opportunity to explore an entirely new, more meaningful way of living. They see it as the perfect time to reflect and consider the future of where, and more importantly, how they are going to live.
Many Baby Boomers have realized that they don’t want to spend their time working on maintaining a big house filled with many possessions. Instead they find that now, more than ever, they would much rather spend their time pursuing passions and creating memories from experiences with those they love. They see retirement as a time to purge belongings and right size their living spaces to create a freeing atmosphere.
Many residents of Willow Valley Communities, a premier 55-plus senior living community in Lancaster, PA have enthusiastically embraced this mindset.
Award winning Willow Valley Communities, with its beautiful and smart living spaces surrounded by lovely common areas and amenities, gives residents the opportunities to live more intentionally and more purposefully. A host of stimulating activities and programs offer residents opportunities for exploring and enjoying passions.
