I worked as a physical therapist at a general hospital for about four years. I’ve supported a wide range of patients, from those needing emergency rehabilitation to those doing rehabilitation at home at a comfortable pace. As a writer, I’d be happy to share health-related information with many people. Thank you, and I look forward to working with you!

Let me introduce a fun tear-off daily calendar.

Create the calendar base so that you can flip each page.

It’s recommended to write the date, an illustration, and a short phrase on each page.

You might also have staff write the dates while participants create the illustrations or phrases—that could make it an enjoyable collaborative activity.

Thinking of seasonal words and illustrations while feeling the change of seasons is also great brain exercise, so it’s highly recommended! Give it a try and make your own original daily flip calendar.

Peonies come into bloom from April to May, so a peony-themed calendar is perfect for May.

Try making peonies out of tissue paper or origami and adding them to the calendar.

Large peony blossoms in red, white, or pink will brighten it up beautifully.

Some older adults may especially love peonies.

As they make the calendar, it may also bring back memories of May’s fresh, pleasant season.

It sounds like a project you can enjoy while chatting happily with those around you.
