Lighthouse ArtCenter Gallery By Kathy O’Donnell

What a jewel we have in our backyard! It’s called the Lighthouse ArtCenter Gallery and School of Art in Tequesta. Last month’s event was called Elegant Threads: Wearable Art and Surface Design which was of great interest to a local group of rug hookers who made an afternoon of lunch and art. The Gallery Grill is a few doors down from the art gallery, a lovely place to eat but closed on Monday. We found Schoo-ner’s Restaurant on A1A in Jupiter across from Guanabana’s and all agreed it was a lucky find. After enjoying the event in a well lit, expansive gallery we meandered down the sidewalk and found painters busy at work in their art space. It was a pleasure to talk with the artists, hear about the holiday commissions they were hoping to have finished on time and see the variety of work in one space. If we had had time we could have also visited a gallery filled with art for sale in a nearby storefront but that will have to wait for another day. Checking the website www.lighthousearts.org will show how much more this organization offers to surrounding communi-ties. They also offer docent guided gallery tours...anyone want to get a group together? Upcoming events include: Dec 14-Jan 18 Jupiter Island Arts featuring works of Jupiter Island painters, scuptors and patrons of the arts as well as works of artists they collect.

20 Facts about Senior Isolation That Will Stun You

This article was very heavily edited. If you’d like to read the entire article, see/click on the link below. Feelings of loneliness and isolation can lead to serious conse-quences for senior health. Understanding the causes and risk factors for senior isolation can help us prevent it. Nobody relishes the prospect of aging without a spouse or family member at their side, without friends to help them laugh at the ridiculous parts and support them through the difficult times. Yet, that is just what many seniors face. As the baby boomer generation crosses the over-65 threshold, it grows; but many of our aging loved ones are still feeling alone in the crowd. Statistics on Senior Isolation According to the U.S. Census Bureau 11 million, or 28% of people aged 65 and older, lived alone at the time of the cen-sus. As people get older, their likelihood of living alone only increases. Additionally, more and more older adults do not have children, reports the AARP, and that means fewer fami-ly members to provide company and care as those adults become seniors. While living alone does not inevitably lead to social isolation, it is certainly a predisposing factor. Another important con-sideration is how often seniors engage in social activities. Statistics Canada reports that 80% of Canadian sen-iors participate in one or more social activities on a frequent basis (at least monthly) — but that leaves fully 1/5 of seniors not participating in weekly or even monthly activities.

Social contacts tend to decrease as we age for a variety of reasons, including retirement, the death of friends and fami-ly, or lack of mobility. Regardless of the causes of senior iso-lation, the consequences can be alarming and even harmful. Even perceived social isolation , the feeling that you are lonely, is a struggle for many older people. Fortunately, the past couple of decades have seen increasing research into the risks, causes, and prevention of loneliness in seniors.

Here are 20 facts about senior isolation to help you stay in-formed: 1. Senior isolation increases the risk of mortality. 2. Feelings of loneliness can negatively affect both physical

and mental health. 3. Perceived loneliness contributes to cognitive decline and

risk of dementia. 4. Social isolation makes seniors more vulnerable to elder

abuse. 5. LGBT seniors are much more likely to be socially isolated. 6. Social isolation in seniors is linked to long-term illness. 7. Loneliness in seniors is a major risk factor for depression. 8. Loneliness causes high blood pressure. 9. Socially isolated seniors are more pessimistic about the

future. 10. Physical and geographic isolation often leads to social iso-

lation. 11. Isolated seniors are more likely to need long-term care. 12. Loss of a spouse is a major risk factor for loneliness and

isolation. 13. Transportation challenges can lead to social isolation. 14. Caregivers of the elderly are also at risk for social isola-

tion. 15. Loneliness can be contagious. 16. Lonely people are more likely to engage in unhealthy be-

havior. 17. Volunteering can reduce social isolation and loneliness in

seniors. 18. Feeling isolated? Take a class. 19. Technology can help senior isolation — but not always. 20. Physical activity reduces senior isolation. https://www.aplaceformom.com/blog/10-17-14-facts-about-senior-isolation/

January Neighborhood Crime Watch A meeting with the Martin County Sheriff’s Department is being looked into by our board. The date hasn’t been set up yet but hopefully it will be held sometime in February giving us time to let everyone know of the actual date. I’m sure the board has close to everyone’s email address, so they will probably email us along with the various postings around the club house. This is a meeting that I think EVERYONE should plan on attending. Stay safe Joe Chippari

How to Celebrate National Hobby Month January marks National Hobby Month. Usually everyone has a hobby or interest, or something they enjoy doing in their lei-sure time. Open up the new year with this national month celebration and see if there's something else in the world that might interest you. Figure out what your current hobby is. Ask yourself what you enjoy doing, in a non-work, family committed, or educa-tion environment. Do you like to take pictures of things? Do you like to collect random items? Draw out a list of related activities to your hobby. If you en-joy taking pictures, list different subjects of things that you might be interested in, for example, people watching versus how animals, such as birds, act in public. If you like to knit, see if there's any projects that you haven't done before. Do an online search for ideas. Pinterest.com is an excellent place to start, as it's filled with categories of images shared by others. Hobsess.com (Where Hobbies Meets Obsession) is also a great place to go. You can also do a YouTube search for tutorial videos, such as fingernail art or how to complete a certain level in a video game.

Ask around. Try see what hobbies your family and friends have. People from every angle has different likes and enjoy-ments and you might come across something that would be of interest to you.

Commit to your new hobby. There's many discussions amongst New Year's Resolutions and how people do not al-ways "keep" to them, but make this new hobby something for you. It all starts out with creativity and self-encouragement.

Find someone who enjoys the same hobby so that you actu-ally stick with it. HobbyBuddy.com is a good site to connect with others who like what you like. Take up a class. Many public places, including craft stores and other businesses, offer classes, preferably during the week-ends or evenings. Classes are the best interaction because you're with other people with the same interests as you. Evaluate after some time if you enjoy or are satisfied with your hobby. It does take some time to getting used to some-thing new, but if it's something related to your old hobby, you'll soon realize that there's more possibilities out there and could enjoy it more rather than trying to suit yourself with a whole different interest. https://www.wikihow.com/Celebrate-National-Hobby-Month

If you are unable to come to the monthly board meetings, but would like to be kept up-to-date, you can find a copy of the monthly minutes on the bulle-tin board in the Clubhouse, or you can read them on the web: http://cambridge-heritageridgesouth.com
