What’s Happening
at Sonata
Here are some highlights from all the
holiday festivities.
Random Acts of Kindness
Of all the observances that fill the calendar, one of the most meaningful
takes place the second full week of February — Random Acts of Kindness
Week. This week is a time to promote the warmth and kindness people
can bring to one another through small and simple gestures.
What can you do? Ideas are limitless. Ask a new resident to sit with
you at mealtime or join you for an activity. Offer to read to a friend or
neighbor who is visually impaired. Leave some treats at the door of
a friend or neighbor who has a pet. Make it a point to smile and offer
a sincere greeting to everyone you meet today. Thank a caregiver or
volunteer for their help.
Hey, Ed and Flo, Merry Christmas to you, too!
No matter how you choose to grace the lives of those around you,
the impact may be greater than you realize. Researchers point to what
renowned psychologist Abraham Maslow called “peak experiences.”
According to Maslow, these are moments of awe and inspiration that
make us feel grateful for simply being alive. Studies show that when
people witness a kind exchange between others, they experience that
feeling of wonderment and can benefit nearly as much as the doer or
recipient of the kindness itself.
Notes of Affection
The residents love the Sonata Bells.
Jan helping out at our Eggnog Holiday Party.
By the Middle Ages, Valentine’s Day was firmly established as a
romantic holiday, and sweethearts often expressed their feelings by
reciting or singing verses of love. The oldest known written valentine
greeting is a 1415 poem by Charles, Duke of Orleans, who wrote to his
wife while imprisoned in the Tower of London.
Valentines in the form of letters and poetry became common
throughout Western Europe. People began adding lace borders and
images of hearts, flowers and Cupid to handwritten valentines, and by
the Victorian Era, valentines had become elaborate art pieces, featuring
ornamental folds, “pop-up” images, and embellishments of real lace and
ribbons. Factory-produced valentines and cheaper postage rates allowed
people of all social ranks to exchange cards with their loved ones.
In the late 1840s, Esther Howland introduced Victorian-style valentines
to America after being inspired by a card she received from England.
Known as the “Mother of the Valentine,” Howland paved the way for
greeting card companies of the future.
