Today is National Write Your Story Day, and at Sunnyside, we know how important it is to preserve the moments that shape a life. Our residents have incredible stories—of love, laughter, resilience, and adventure—and sharing them keeps their legacy alive for generations to come. Take a moment today to write down a favorite memory, share a story with a loved one, and celebrate the power of storytelling.

Today is National Write Your Story Day, and at Sunnyside Communities, we believe there’s nothing more important.

Every resident who calls Sunnyside, King's Grant, or Summit Square home has a lifetime of stories—of love, adventure, resilience, and quiet moments that shaped who they are. And if you ask anyone, the best part of this work, the heart of it all, is getting to hear those stories.

For families, these memories become treasures. A handwritten note, a saved voicemail, a story told at the dinner table that makes everyone laugh—these are the moments that stay with us. Today is a reminder to write them down, to share them, to capture the small details that might otherwise fade with time.

So, whether it’s a journal entry, a letter to a grandchild, or simply sitting with a loved one and reminiscing, take a moment today to honor the stories that make up a life. Because every story matters. And every story deserves to be told. ❤️

Sunnyside’s 8th Annual Wellness Day brought together residents and staff for a full day of activities focused on physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Participants engaged in aqua aerobics, chair yoga, line dancing, and even virtual reality experiences, while others took time for reflection at the SHINE Station and Feed Your Spirit table. The day also featured a variety of healthy snacks, including a yogurt bar, a veggie and hummus station, and naturally sweet treats.

A sincere thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to making this event a success. Sunnyside remains committed to fostering a culture of wellness and vitality for both residents and staff.
