Participating in creative activities has been shown to improve our cognitive skills and create a confident and optimistic attitude.
Cook Book Club – Are you interested? When shall we meet?
The Paige has a good collection of cookbooks. Let’s explore them and kitchen test the recipes. Come help us develop this group which will meet at the Paige … participants will choose when to meet and what the topics will be. Each session might have a theme. We may plan an ethnic meal or perhaps try cookie recipes. Should we compile a cookbook?
Sharing with others in groups reduces anxiety, improves self-esteem, and helps members’ sense of overall well-being. Where else can you accomplish that, enjoy the company of some very interesting people, and learn something new?
