Discover Happiness in Independent Living this Happiness Happens Month

At Melody Living Independent Living in Colorado Springs, we believe that happiness isn't just a fleeting emotion; it's a way of life. That’s why we’re thrilled to join the global celebration of Happiness Happens Month this August, a month-long observance dedicated to embracing joy, spreading kindness, and finding beauty in everyday moments.

Originally launched by the Secret Society of Happy People, Happiness Happens Month reminds us that positivity is contagious and that even the smallest gestures can create powerful ripple effects within a community. At Melody Living, we don’t just celebrate happiness; we nurture it through purpose-driven living, meaningful engagement, and Best-in-Class experiences that support the mind, body, and spirit.

Finding Joy Through Purpose

One of the most fulfilling ways to cultivate lasting happiness is by giving back. At Melody Living, our Independent Living residents are actively involved in volunteer and philanthropic efforts year-round. These moments of service not only bring happiness to others but also enrich the lives of our residents by fostering connection, compassion, and purpose.

Here are just a few ways our residents make happiness happen:

• Reading to residents in Memory Care or assisting them with craft projects.
• Creating handmade crafts, blankets, and dog treats to sell at community fundraisers.
• Hosting adoption events, preparing lunches for local shelters, and raising funds for the Alzheimer’s Association.
• Leading and participating in intergenerational activities that build strong, supportive bonds across our neighborhoods.

Each of these efforts is resident-driven and supported by our Life Engagement Team, who ensure that opportunities for fulfillment and kindness are always within reach.

Celebrating the Everyday (and the Unexpected)

At Melody Living, joy is built into our Best-in-Class culture. Our dedicated Life Engagement team collaborates with residents to create monthly calendars packed with festive, fun, and even a little quirky holidays. Anything from World Smile Day to The Dog Days of Summer, and yes, even National Potato Chip Day.

We know that celebrating the everyday joys can bring extraordinary happiness. That’s why we always offer:

• Daily fitness and movement classes that spark energy and laughter.
• Hobby and creative arts clubs where friendships blossom.
• Live music, themed socials, and premier culinary events like “Cruise Ship Dining”.
• Guest speakers, educational workshops, and spirit-lifting surprise celebrations.

Our Independent Living residents also enjoy award-winning culinary experiences, with chef-prepared meals, personalized dining options, and monthly Foodie Committee meetings to ensure that every dish brings both flavor and delight.

Small Joys, Big Impact

Whether it’s sipping tea with friends after morning yoga or laughing during a painting class, happiness at Melody Living comes from the freedom to live intentionally and joyfully. Every interaction, whether with a neighbor, team member, or visiting loved one, is a chance to uplift and be uplifted.

Happiness Happens Month is a reminder that joy is meant to be shared. At our Best-in-Class independent living neighborhood, we do just that through friendships, purpose, and a community that celebrates what makes life truly meaningful.
