The Amsterdam at Harborside

Wishing you all a warm and wonderful holiday! May you have a blessed Hanukkah and a Happy New Year! May the lights of Menorah candles fill up your home as you welcome the bright light and happy sunshine with open arms. Hanukkah Sameach! To you and your family!

The Amsterdam at Harborside would like to give a special thank you to Janice Kaplan, for the wonderful webinar presentation based on her New York Times Best Seller The Gratitude Diaries. With warmth, humor, and insight, she encouraged us to think positively and look on the brighter side. One of the key suggestions was to focus on the 90% positive instead of focusing on the 10% negative. If we stop focusing on the negative and appreciate more of the positive, our outlook on life may change. As Janice says, It’s not happiness that makes you grateful. It’s gratitude that makes you happy. #gratefullife #nytimes #bestseller #positivethinking #theamsterdamatharborside #seniorlivingcommunity #gratitude

We value our residents and staff here at The Amsterdam at Harborside. During this difficult year, we still have so much to be grateful and thankful for. We asked our residents and staff to provide us with 3 things that they are most grateful. Executive Assistant, Sharda K. Sukhdeo, who plays such an important role here at The Amsterdam shares with us her 3 things: I am truly grateful for so much this year despite what’s been going on in the world. I am most grateful for: 1.... GOD, for my life, family and friends. Grateful for the values instilled in me. 2. The opportunity to be working with the residents and staff at The Amsterdam. It’s a great community, home away from home and I find my job a rewarding one. 3. Grateful/thankful for all of life experiences that have helped me to grow into the person that I am today. Sharda, we are grateful for all that you do everyday for our residents here at The Amsterdam! In the spirit of being grateful, please check out some of our resident’s testimonials as to why they are happy to be a part of this wonderful community @ The Amsterdam at Harborside! https://theamsterdamatharborside.com/independent-living// #theamsterdamatharborside #grateful #gratefulmindset #testimonials #seniorcommunity #portwashington #longislandny

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at The Amsterdam at Harborside. These days life can be so hectic, it is easy to get caught up in the day-to-day demands and distractions and forget all the things in our lives to be grateful for. Besides being amid a pandemic and the demands on our day-to-day responsibilities, there are significant demands on our emotions. On Thanksgiving, why not try to step back and take a moment for gratitude. There are a couple of holidays that give us ...that pause, and Thanksgiving is one of them, so why not take a few moments and think of the things that you are most grateful for this year. So here is The Amsterdam challenge: Take a few minutes to come up with 5 things that you are thankful for. Remember, someone always has it worse than you, so it is important to keep a perspective and take joy in the wonders we are surrounded by. Once you have your 5, share them with someone you care about. If you feel like sharing, post them on The Amsterdam's Facebook page; we'd love to see what you are grateful for! Or just share them with a love one when you next see them. We guarantee this will make you feel good and help keep your life in balance during these challenging times. Please take time to appreciate what you have and have a very safe and HAPPY THANKSGIVING! See more
