Friday Feels // 11.3.2023

We “fall back” this weekend as Daylight Savings comes to a close for the year. Can I tell you something? Something that’s probably a bit controversial? I love Daylight Savings. I love when it starts, and I especially love when it ends. It’s like a reset for my morning routine.

I’m one of those rare people who feel more energized and more like myself throughout the winter. I’m motivated. I’m rested. I’m rejuvenated. I love the fall/winter months (except for driving in the snow).

This work-week was filled with lots of fun, and much colder temperatures. Celebrating Halloween as a goniometer this year was exciting for me and confusing for the Residents and staff. But it created a great opportunity to share and educate a little more about the role of OT in skilled nursing.

On Wednesday I took some time to decorate our home for November. Something about me is that I love having seasonally appropriate decor. So no Christmas trees yet. Instead, I’ve got mums of muted tones, white pumpkins, and vintage-style turkeys to create a warm and cozy space that’s ready for the season of harvest.

But not to worry, I am thinking about Christmas shopping and a few Memory Unit Gift Guides will be headed your way this month!

If you missed out on anything from this week, or are looking for some fun ways to connect to the OT community, I’ve got it all compiled here in
