Thinking on Your Feet: When Plans Go Sideways ⚡

Some days in activities go exactly as planned — but let’s be honest, many don’t. A performer cancels 🎤, supplies don’t show up 📦, or the weather ruins your outdoor event ☔. Those are the moments when being quick on your feet really matters.

When the unexpected happens, your instincts kick in. You grab what’s around you, pivot, and make it work 🔄. Maybe the craft project turns into a storytelling circle 📖, or the outdoor walk becomes a hallway parade 🚶‍♀️🎶. Residents don’t see “what went wrong” — they see your presence, creativity, and care 💜.

Trust yourself in those moments. Your training, your experience, and your heart know what to do 💡. The activity might not look like what you planned, but it will still create connection, laughter, and joy — and that’s what matters most 🌟.
