"The View"

"The View" is a group of four amazing, successful women and I have known them for about a year now. They meet every Saturday to play catch up and just as they like to put it talk about "anything and everything". I've sat in on a few sessions and I must say all of them are quite a catch. I love hearing about each of their stories or experiences and watching them make each other laugh. Anyone can feel the love, warmth, appreciation they all have for each other while being around the group.

All of the women come from different backgrounds and geographical areas, but two things brought them all together and that was tennis and being members of Raintree Country Club. Some of the ladies have known each other for about thirty years and others only for seven. Regardless, no matter how much time has gone by they have all managed to maintain relationships with each other, which is very important. Every one of them participates in their own personal activities, but they all make sure to make time for each other. The group will visit friends that are in retirement homes together and they will go out to eat occasionally as well. 

This group provides a whole other support system for each of them, outside of family and spouses. The group has been there for each other through surgeries on ankles and elbows, decisions to make the transition into a retirement home and when someone close has passed away. The group has had many good laughs and cries too, but it was all done together. 

All of these women have a spectacular connection with each other and it's great to see because as an elder its important to have this types of relationships. The relationships can help you get thorough the day, see the bright side of things and make sure there is a future.
