"Finding Happiness" Lecture at Delmanor Northtown

The pursuit of happiness in our lives, and in the lives of our loved ones is a common motivator for many of our decisions as we travel through life.

Many factors can contribute to living "A Happy Life", and as the residents of Delmanor Northtown learned from this motivational seminar, most tend to focus around socialization.  On of the many attributes of living in a retirement community such as Delmanor Northtown, is the ability to stay active and connected with others. 
 

Isabelle, Keri & Ken having a blast!

Carol & Harry presented "The Pursuit of Happiness" Seminar that provided examples of making positive decisions that contribute to happiness, some of which included making good decisions that foster individual preferences and goals, living in the present and not worrying about what "may" come, spirituality, and arguably the most important contributor to life happiness is making connections and nurturing relationships with others.
