2. Recent highlights
The images of the 9-11 attacks on
America will never fade from the minds
of most Americans. But for Maj. Gen.
Lynn Hartsell (far left) and his wife, Lt.
Col. Janet Jones-Hartsell (center), who
were stationed in the Pentagon at the
time of the attacks, the events changed
their lives forever, said the couple
during a presentation at the community.
Resident Gail Kristensen also shared
his memories from that day. Gail lived
near the Washington, D.C., area and
was presenting at a Federal Aviation
Administration workshop in a hotel
near the Pentagon on Sept. 11. Several
media outlets, including the Argus
Leader, covered the presentation.
A popular tradition returned! Residents and team members modeled outfits by Go Casual at the Fall Style
Show & Luncheon.

Tongue twisters! For an added
challenge, try memorizing and
saying the twister out loud.
Betty Botter had some butter.
“But,” she said, “this butter’s
bitter.”
If I bake this bitter
butter, it would make my batter
bitter.
But a bit of better butter—
that would make my batter
better.
So she bought a bit of butter,
better than her bitter butter,
and she baked it in her batter,
and the batter
was not bitter.
So ‘twas better Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter.

I live, because
I’m happy
“I sing because I’m happy …”
– Ci vilia Durfee Martin
Last month, this column
focused on the happiness
research, which is a bit
startling and constantly
changing. This month, the
focus is on what works to
make people feel empowered,
engaged, and free from
as many health/mental/
environmental constraints as
possible.
Aging brings its own
complications—less muscle,
reduced energy quotient,
elevated (or lowered) blood
pressure, financial worries
about resources to care for
one self and/or spouse for as
long as needed, loss of friends
and family. The data, though,
show that many people are
living long and well—even
into their 100s. How can that
be?
Interestingly, the simple
answer is “thankfulness.”
We focus a lot on the word
thankful during this season.
One can be thankful in
private, but that is only part
of the formula for a good
quality of life. Thankfulness
accelerated by good works
and generosity is the key
component to the wellness
prescription.
Picturing fall
Even individuals who are
physically impaired or
cognitively challenged set
themselves apart by being
part of the solution to the
unmet needs of others. The
expanded vision of others
and good works can empower
people who cannot volunteer
in traditional ways.
Touchmark believes
in philanthropy. The
Touchmark Foundation is
a 501(c)(3) public charity
formed by Touchmark in
2002. Its mission is “to
enhance the well-being of
seniors.” The foundation
is dedicated to providing
programs to help ensure
that seniors have what is
necessary to make their lives
comfortable, satisfying, and
engaging. At this time of year,
food boxes are given out at
each Touchmark community
to help families in need.
To be part of Touchmark’s
Community Partners and
Volunteer efforts, contact a
member of the Full Life team.
Thank you for caring and
sharing.
