As the air begins to cool and summer wanes, Juniper Village
ends our “Stay Connected” series by recognizing Friendship and Joy. What is it
that brings you joy? Is it the wet nose of a newborn pup? The smile of your
first grandchild? The taste of a triple chocolate ice cream cone? Whatever it
is we invite you to share that joy with others at Juniper Village this month.
Much attention has been paid to studies regarding the
effects of stress on your health, but what about the effects of joy? The
landmark “Nun Study,” as it's often known, revealed that positive emotion is
correlated with longevity: 90% of the most cheerful quarter of nuns was alive
at the age of eighty-five, whereas only 34% of the least cheerful quarter lived
to that age. Similarly, 54% of the most cheerful fourth was alive at age
ninety-four, versus 11% of the least cheerful. Of the 678 sisters in the
original study about four dozen are still living. So go ahead, grab that triple
chocolate cone it might just extend your life!
This month we invite you to “Spread Your Joy” as we honor
our friendships in our Red Hat and Villager clubs and our Best Friends events;
get our hands dirty at our Friendship Daffodil Project; and celebrate with our
Birthday Party and House Warming Initiatives.
