September 2016 Events in Williamstown, NJ: Spread Your Joy


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!

Join us this month as we celebrate friendship and staying connected with calendar events such as our annual daffodil planting and our home warming, birthday party and Best Friend initiatives.

Our fabulous September 2016 events in Williamstown, NJ at Juniper Village at Williamstown include our:

§  Labor Day Patriotic Tribute Event as it is our honor at Juniper Village at Williamstown to celebrate our great nation’s military and all those who labor to keep America great, so join us as we gather together with friends and family to celebrate this day in joy and respect for all those that have labored before us and for the great nation we are privileged to reside in on September 5th at 2:00 pm.

§  The Joy of Fitness with Friends by our Genesis Team because as we all know, fitness and movement are critical to optimum health, and as we are living longer, we want to increase the quality of our lives which will require adding fitness as a regular, daily practice, but sometimes doing it alone can be a challenge, so our Genesis team is going to enlighten us on new and creative ways to enjoy fitness with friends, thereby making it a lot more fun, so join us as we increase fitness and nurture friendships at the same time on September 19th at 1:15 pm.

We look forward to sharing our September 2016 events in Williamstown, NJ at Juniper Village at Williamstown with you as you Spread Your Joy.
