As we bid farewell to the Year of the Ox and welcome the auspicious Year of the Dragon, the team at Growing Needs extends our heartfelt wishes to all caregivers and seniors. Chinese New Year is a time for celebration, reflection, and embracing positive energy. In the spirit of the dragon embodying the symbol of strength, vitality, and good fortune, we shall all come together to welcome the new lunar year with joy and optimism.
The Year of the Dragon brings a sense of empowerment and prosperity. Just as the Chinese legends remember the majestic dragon soaring through the skies, let us embark on this new year with resilience and hope. To all our caregivers and seniors, may this year bring you good health, happiness and peace.
Amidst the festivities and gatherings, caregivers and seniors must prioritise their well-being. The celebrations are a time for joy, but it’s equally important to practise moderation, especially regarding snacks and consumption.
While the festive snacks are tempting, especially during New Year celebrations, let’s approach them with mindfulness. Enjoy the traditional treats, but savour them in moderation. Choose healthier options whenever possible, and always prioritise your health.
It is important to celebrate and visit our loved ones; however, don’t forget to stay hydrated, especially during the warmest time of the day. Pack a water bottle or choose plain water to quench your thirst amidst your celebrations. Water is essential for overall health, and proper hydration supports physical and cognitive well-being.
The festivities can be a bustling period of visiting, going out and being social, but it’s crucial to find moments of rest. Whether it’s a short nap or a quiet moment of reflection, taking time for yourself contributes to overall well-being.
Chinese New Year is a time for family and friends. Use this opportunity to strengthen your social connections, share stories, and create lasting memories. Be grateful and practice forgiveness as we start the new year fresh.
As we embark on the Year of the Dragon, let the spirit of this majestic creature inspire us to face challenges with courage and to embrace the opportunities for growth and prosperity. To caregivers and seniors, may this new year bring you joy, good health, and a wealth of cherished moments. Remember to care for yourselves amidst the celebrations, savouring the festivities in moderation. Happy Chinese New Year!
Growing Needs grew out of our own encounters with caring for our aging parents and reflecting on the Growing Needs that we ourselves would face as we advance in years. We hope to build a community that will learn, share and contribute towards caring for the growing needs of our loved ones.
