New Year’s resolutions for the heart and soul

Residents at the retirement community Vintage Hills at Prairie Trail in Ankeny are proving resolutions are important at any age.

While resolving to exercise more was very common, it was not as popular as wanting to be helpful, kind and loving toward others. “My resolution is to love my fellow man,” said Laura Foster. Gwen Boulter’s resolution is “to continue to be helpful to others.” Excursions were also popular. “My resolution is to travel more,” said Betty Spooner.

“These resolutions confirmed what I already knew about our residents,” said Kristen Canham, Executive Director at Vintage Hills at Prairie Trail, “they are kind, compassionate and active.”
