Kirby Pines Retirement Community | The Pinecone

The Pinecone | January 2019 • 7 • Resolutions As 2018 closes, we thought it would be interesting to find out what YOU have in store for 2019! There were more than we could print, so here are some of our favorites: Carolin and Ken Thomason: Make more friends. Get more involved in all Kirby Pines has to offer (like the ballroom dancing). There is SO much! Lois Cloud: I would like to read to those who have lost their sight. Make more friends and gain more spiritual health. Sheryl Maxwell: Learn something new daily by reading and listening to others. Then using the information to better serve life’s situations. Mark Maxwell: Responding to individuals needs by using the talents I have. Alice Walton: My New Year’s resolution is that I am not going to make any New Year’s resolutions! Sydney Wagner: RESOLVED to be more thankful, to continue to learn more patience, show more compassion continue quoting 1 Thess. 5:16-18 aloud to myself each morning, reach out to others who are hurting or just alone and, OF COURSE, attempt to lose 20 pounds. Janice Wall: Lose those 10 pounds I have been trying to lose for 4 years! Geneva Jackson: Try to be a little closer to Jesus! Alma Crone: This is the year to organize everything! Jan Thomason: Stay in closer contact with old friends! Peggy Hogan: Finally clean out my 4 drawer file cabinet. Jean Mauney: Keep on keeping on and do better. To sum it up . . . Here’s what we discovered will happen at Kirby Pines in 2019: 4,529 lbs will be lost. 146,384 more miles will be walked. 53 more people will dine at Exquisite Cuisine. 14 more people will join the Photo Club. 10 more people will join the Book Baggers. 86 more people will attend Vespers. 6,543 more dance moves will be made. 10,672 more songs will be sung. 743,697 more smiles will be given. The one thing we know for SURE will happen in 2019 is that we will continue to enjoy taking your photographs and creating the Pinecone for you each month. We couldn’t do it without you!
