Wesley Haven Villa
Pictures are worth a thousand words! Neither ice storm nor flood could put a damper on life
here at Wesley Haven Villa! The first few months of 2014 had its challenges but we overcame
them all! Not only were we able to restore all that was damaged in remarkable time but we
were also able to complete the work on the new wellness center. As you can see from the photos
life was filled with much excitement and happiness. Watch as we continue to “refresh” the
walls of WHV with new paint and we’ll also be completing the new Resident Craft
Center! Can’t tell you how blessed I feel to be here for another year! I look forward to 2015 with great anticipation and optimism! Can’t wait to see what adventures await us! It’s my prayer that WHV continue to be a place of true peace and joy
where each of you feel loved and cherished every
day! Happy New Year!

10 Five-Minute Decluttering Tips
to Start Conquering Your Mess
Leo Babauta Zen Habits
When your home is filled with clutter, trying to tackle a mountain of stuff can be quite overwhelming. So
here’s my advice: start with just five minutes. Baby
steps are important. Sure, five minutes won’t barely
make a dent in your mountain, but it’s a start. Celebrate when you’ve made that start! Then take another
five minutes tomorrow. And another the next day.
Before you know it, you’ll have cleared a whole
closet or a room and then half your house and then …
who knows?
“Three Rules of Work: Out of
clutter find simplicity; From
discord find harmony; In the
middle of difficulty lies opportunity.” - Albert Einstein
3. Clear off a counter. Clear off everything possible, except maybe one or two essential things.
4. Pick a shelf. Just one shelf! Clear all nonessential things and leave it looking neat and clutterfree
5. Schedule a decluttering appointment. Ask family or friends to help.
6. Pick up 5 things, and find places for them.
These are things that you use but have no assigned
storage place for them.
7. Spend a few minutes visualizing the room.
Once I’ve visualized how the room will look uncluttered, and figured out what is essential, I get rid of
the rest.
8. Fill a box for charity. WHV can help you arrange for pickup.
10. Learn to love the uncluttered look!
Five Health and Wellness Tips to Start You Off Right in 2015
International Business Times
1. Quit bad habits: Quit smoking, drinking and taking harmful substances. If the
habit has been existent for several decades, it will be ideal to first accept that you
have a health problem or have trouble quitting completely. Tap support groups, websites and family members to successfully get rid of the bad habit for life.
2. Go for a checkup One of the first steps for 2015 is to have a thorough physical
assessment to determine if you have underlying problems that might not have presented symptoms yet. Have a physician check your blood pressure, cholesterol level,
1. Designate a spot for incoming papers. Papers
often account for a lot of our clutter. Designate an
in-box tray or spot in your home and don’t put
down papers anywhere but that spot.
2. Start clearing a starting zone. What you want to
do is clear one area. This is your no-clutter zone.
Wherever you start, make a rule: nothing can be
placed there that’s not actually in use. Everything
must be put away. Once you have that clutter-free
zone, keep it that way! Each day, slowly expand your
no-clutter zone until it envelopes the whole house!

body mass index and blood sugar. Also go through other tests like a colonoscopy or
mammogram. Learning about health risks will encourage you to stick to a healthy diet
and strict exercise regimen.

goods nearly as much as we

ANNUAL DEEP CLEAN!

3. Start eating fruits and vegetables Remove unhealthy foods and junk from your
diet. Fruits and vegetables will provide you with nutrients, vitamins and minerals that
will prevent disease and reduce fat. These also keep you full so you do not develop
hunger pangs and sugar cravings.
4. Sleep better One of the best health tips for 2015 is that you get adequate sleep
each night to reduce stress and fight fat. Getting sufficient rest periods every night
and occasional naps will improve focus, memory and learning.
5. Exercise Embark on an exercise program. Start with a realistic goal especially if
you have been sedentary for a long time. Try walking for 30 minutes in your neighborhood two to three times a week. Gradually increase the intensity or try another
form of activity like Chair Zumba after a month or so. Look for an activity that you
personally enjoy so you can stick to the program permanently.
“Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is
when you're forced to.
An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to
make sure the old year leaves.”

Resident Spotlight: Ruth DeHay
From the Kitchen
with Karen:
Ruth was born and raised in Massachusetts. She attended Symmes Arlington Medical School and graduated as a Registered Nurse. She met and
married her husband at a delicatessen in Boston. Their wedding day was the
same day that President Franklin Roosevelt died. After several years in Massachusetts, the DeHay’s moved back to Mr. DeHay’s home town of Charleston, SC to
take care of his terminally ill mother. Ruth asked for a leave of absence from her
job before they moved, and then never went back. Several years later, in the 60’s,
Ruth and her husband came to Pensacola simply to visit, but ended up buying a
house – she has been here ever since. She was a volunteer in the area for 20 years.
Five years after her husband passed, Ruth moved to Tranquil Villas. That was in
2001. Recently Mrs. DeHay joined us here at Wesley Haven Villa! She said it was
a wonderful decision coming here. Ruth has 2 daughters, 5 grandchildren, and 5
great grandchildren! We are pleased to have her as a part of our community – better thought of as our “Wesley Haven Family”, please take a moment to welcome
Mrs. Ruth DeHay!
