Wishing you a happy holiday season
2019 has been a year of growth for Active Adult Programs & Services (AAPS). As more people discovered AAPS programming and activities, rosters began to fill – many with a waitlist. That tells us adults 55+ are eager to remain active and social and we are happy to welcome many new participants to activities this year.

To keep up to date with what's going on, check out the AAPS webpage by clicking here . All scheduled programming is also available at our registration site - highlandsranch.org/signmeup . Watch for new lifelong learning, recreational and social programming opportunities in 2020. We look forward to providing more rewarding experiences for you in the new year!

APPS is also a clearinghouse for information and referrals to services for older adults, families and care partners. Contact AAPS coordinator Jodie McCann at jmccann@highlandsranch.org or 720-240-4922 for assistance.
Making a New Year's resolution?
Most of us resolve to make changes in our lives as we begin a New Year. Unfortunately, the majority of resolutions don’t continue for more than 60 days. We can embark on our new resolves with the help of an acronym coined in 1981 by Management Review - SMART.

S pecific. Be absolutely clear about your resolution. What do you intend to do and in what specific period of time?

M easurable. Track your progress, even writing it down.

A chievable. It is okay to set big goals, but done in smaller and more immediately attainable steps, you may experience greater satisfaction to spur you on.

R elevant. Is your resolution important to you? Or, are you making it for someone else? Making it personal may bring a greater chance of success.

T ime-bound. Be realistic with your timeline. Baby steps will not overwhelm you and you are more likely to enjoy the progress and the process.
