Spring Cleaning — Beyond Cobwebs & Dusting
For many people spring evokes the need
to air out your rooms, super-clean everything
from carpet to ceiling and start fresh! But the
best spring cleaning may include more than
just a thorough mopping and throwing open
the windows. Think of spring as the time to
re-evaluate and organize your health, well-
being and safety needs as well as your wants
and dreams.
Organize Your Health,
Well-Being and Safety:
Check-in with your health goals. Do a health
check in with your doctor, nurses, caregivers or
family members. If it has been a while since
you’ve gotten a physical or reevaluated your
health goals, now is a great time to do so!
Schedule an appointment with your physician
today!
Locate & organize important health & legal
documents. Is the monthly bill paying process
too burdensome? Visit your bank and ask to
be set up with automatic bill pay. Do your chil-
dren/personal representatives have access to
your financial holdings should there be an
emergency? Where did your passport ‘run off’
to, and does it need to be renewed for the big
trip still in your future?
Tidy Up Your Wants & Dreams:
Check-in with your life goals. Spring is a great
time to take stock of where you are in the jour-
ney of life. It is never too late to plan and
dream. What have you always wanted to do?
Make plans now! Include a budget, steps to
success and a timeline to complete your
project. Then get out and grab your dream!
Happy Spring (Cleaning) Everyone!

Resident Highlight
This month’s resident highlight features a
snapshot of many of our new residents.
Since the beginning of the year a number
of new residents now reside at Bozeman
Lodge. With so many new residents I
thought maybe I would share a little
about them here. I haven’t had the op-
portunity to get to know all of the new
residents but here is what I have learned
so far. I encourage you to introduce your-
self and get to know them a little better.

land Indians fan.
