Seabury Monthly
YOUR COMMUNITY LIFE EVENTS PUBLICATION FEBRUARY 2015
Love Life and Be Good to Yourself
Many of us spend our days taking care of
others, seeing to their needs and comfort. In
February, so many things are happening that
give us the opportunity to examine what we do
and to remember to take care of ourselves, and
have a treat once in a while.
Love Your Heart February is American Heart
Month: Seabury will recognize the
need to raise awareness about
Heart Disease and Prevention with
Go Red Day on Friday,
February 6. We hope everyone
will join us for a special tea in the afternoon,
and please wear red to support this cause.
Celebrate Valentine’s Day in your own quiet
way, or enjoy a special dinner with friends in
the Main Dining Room, Saturday, February 14.
Presidents’ Day falls on Monday, February 16.
We honor all of our presidents, not only George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln, whose
birthdays are this month.
Mardi Gras (Shrove Tuesday) is celebrated on
Tuesday, February 17. Feel free to wear
purple, gold and green, and sign up for a Fine
Dining luncheon, or enjoy special menu items in
the Bistro and Main Dining Room, before the
solemnity of lent begins on Ash Wednesday,
February 18.
February is also Black History Month.
We will pay tribute throughout the month with
special educational and
entertaining programs (see page
7 for details) and with historical
and biographical information
broadcast on Sundays on
Touchtown, (Channel 918).
How can I love ME? Let us count the ways.
(apologies to E.B. Browning)
A really top notch plan is three fold:
regular practice of yoga, meditation and
massage. Yoga and meditation benefits add up to
stronger muscles, greater breath awareness, and
mental clarity. Massage adds healthful relaxation
from caring touch, healing from good circulation,
released muscles and nourished skin.
The sum of these practices will have you
feeling great and you'll love it!
Seabury supports this plan with classes and
massage services under one roof!

appointment, please

Wellness Spotlight: Emotional Dimension of Wellness
Five Minutes to Emotional Wellness
I
f you only have five minutes a
day, you can still take positive
steps toward a more balanced
life. When you understand the
concept of wellness and how the 7
Dimensions of Wellness can lead you
toward a more whole and complete
life, you can find
simple ways to create
that feeling of
wellness in your
day-to-day life.
How do you achieve
overall wellness in
just five minutes a day? There are
some basic positive steps you can
take in each wellness dimension to
further your wellness journey. Of
course, you can spend more time if
you’d like. Sometimes, though, you
only have five minutes...and you can
still do something special for yourself
and start feeling better.
Emotional Wellness doesn’t have to
involve sitting in a therapist’s chair for
an hour a week. There are some
simple things you can do to support
your Emotional Wellness in just five
minutes a day:
• Journal. Even if you only have
five minutes, you can journal.
Simply write some quick notes
about how you’re feeling and
what is going on in your life. It
may not seem like much, but you
can use these notes later for
insight and greater personal
awareness.
• Read an article, listen to a
podcast (re-broadcast video
clips on the internet) or watch
a video. Look for short articles,
podcasts, or videos on various
Emotional Wellness topics, such
as anger management techniques,
anxiety reduction, defeating
depression, or overcoming fear.
•
This information will come in handy
when you least expect it, and
learning more about Emotional
Wellness is the first step toward
greater emotional health.
Tell a friend. If you’re having a
bad day, call a friend and quickly let
them know what’s going on.
Sometimes simply expressing
your feelings in a safe place
can alleviate some of the
tension. A quick conversation
with a friend can lift your
spirits and lets you know
you’re not alone.
Excerpted from an internet article “Five
Minutes for Wellness,” by The 123 Feel
Better Company in The Insight Journal, at
www.anxiety-and-depression-solutions.com.
Seabury resources for
emotional wellness:

Listen...Do You Hear VOICES?
These frigid days when we huddle over
a cup of tea could be the perfect time
to put pen to paper (or hands to
computer keys) to write a story for the
Spring edition of Voices, our community
"literary magazine".
Prose pieces should be limited to 1000
words, poems must be 40 lines or
fewer, and sketches are very welcome
too. You have some time before our
official submission month, but now's
the time to listen...do you hear an idea
Seabury Monthly
Beyond the Plate
Hello everyone from your Culinary Department,
I hope this newsletter finds you well!
We have several new additions to our staff, which
you may already know, but please help me welcome
Kevin Smith and Aliyah Johnson, our new Views
Dining Room servers, and Edward Payton our new
Bistro Cook. Also new to our team is Joshua Binder,
our cook at Seabury Meadows.
Did you know? Apples belong to the rose family,
as do pears and plums. If you have ever buried your nose into an
apple, rose, strawberry, or cherry blossoms, then you know the
Rose family. In the early 1900s, botanists reclassified the former
Spirea, Plum, and Apple families as subfamilies within the Rose
family. In response, Robert Frost penned the following poem: "The
rose is a rose and was always a rose. But the theory now goes that
the apple's a rose, and the pear is, and so is the plum, I suppose.
The dear [Lord] only knows what will next prove a rose. You, of
course, are a rose - but were always a rose."
On a side note I would ask that you help us prevent the spread
of influenza and other infections. A couple of ways to do this is to
regularly use hand sanitizer, located throughout the building, and if
you are dining in the Main Dining Room and you have a runny nose
please use a tissue instead of a cloth napkin. Tissues are available
at the entrance to the dining room, so grab one on your way in,
just in case. Thank you so much helping to keep us all healthy,
and for letting us serve you!
- Chef Eugene and your Culinary Team.

SATURDAY
Seabury Monthly
Center for Spirituality
I’d like to introduce myself. I am Tania Bouteneff, chaplain intern here at Seabury for
the last several months.
I have lived in West Hartford for some 20 years. I spent most of my adult life
devoted to the field of education, first as an elementary school teacher, and then as a
school administrator. It’s only in the last 5-6 years or so that I became drawn to
chaplaincy. My work in education gave me plenty of experience listening carefully and
having meaningful conversations (with students, parents, faculty members), providing
support as needed. This was something I particularly loved about my work. Being a
chaplain is a wonderful next step in my life, because it allows me to integrate two things that are very
meaningful to me: building relationships with individuals, and my spirituality. This new direction my
life has taken has been very nourishing and gratifying for me.
I have now had several years of experience in training as well as visiting patients as a chaplain
intern at John Dempsey Hospital and at Hartford Hospital, but until now, I hadn’t had the experience of
visiting residents at a life-care facility. I feel enormously fortunate that I was invited to come to
Seabury—–what a wonderful and welcoming place this is!
My visits have been primarily at Brewer and Davis, as well as the Meadows. Unfortunately, I’m
only able to spend one morning a week at Seabury, so I never have as much time as I’d like to talk with
people. But in my limited time here I’ve met residents who are wonderfully varied and interesting and
admirable, and who face challenges with dignity and courage. And I’ve seen staff whose caring, kindness, respect, and attention to the individual are without par.
I thank Chaplain Bob from the bottom of my heart for this opportunity, and for the wise guidance
he offers me.

BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
LIBRARY COMMITTEE
In his acceptance speech, for the Nobel Prize in Literature in
1950, William Faulkner referred to fears of the nuclear age.
He also went on to say that he believed that men and women
will not merely endure: they will prevail…they have a soul and
a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice…
Authors and their books feed our souls. What if we had no
books full of stories, lives, ideas, poems, plays, science or
history?
Every month our book selection committee meets in the
library to choose new books for the Seabury community. We
want tknow what you want to read; books such as: “All the
Light We Cannot See; Orphan Train; Revival, Deep Down
Dark: The Untold Stories of 33 Men Buried in a Chilean Mine,
and the Miracle That Set Them Free; Gray Mountain; The
Boston Girl; Unbroken: a World War II Story of Survival,
Resilience, and Redemption; Jeter Unfiltered; The Fault in Our
Stars; Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End;
41: a Portrait of My Father; Somewhere Safe with Somebody
Good.”
If you read a great book or a great book review,
If you hear a great book discussion on NPR
(or in the dining room)
If you remember a great story you would like to read again,
Tell us and we will consider ordering it!
