From Me To You...

Welcome! to the February edition of It’s A Grand Life magazine.

Every month I sit down at my computer to write this piece and I usually have an idea of what I will say. A general theme, some lines thought out in my head. Then I let it fly.

Sometimes it is pretty close to my original plan, sometimes I go off on a tangent. The majority of my articles have an example or a snippit from my life, usually involving my children. Let’s face it, kids do say the darnedest things!

Growing up in England, my childhood was mostly bucolic. I had my moments, trials and tribulations you could say, but it was pretty nice all in all. Except for Sunday mornings.

Yes, church. Not because the pews were uncomfortable - they were. Not because the singing was painful - it was, my mother is tone deaf but refuses to let that stop her from belting out the hymns. Not because the world was beckoning from outside, begging me to play and be free - of course it was. My problem was that my father was the vicar, or minister. He was great at it. His voice rang with conviction, he was kind and gentle with his flock and always sang beautifully. The problem was his sermons.

To get inspiration he looked at his life, and in particular his children. Whatever stupid thing we had done that week was sure to be brought up as a humorous anecdote that he could use to teach the lesson of the day. It was mortifying. We lived with these people and as well meaning as they were, they would always chuckle over our misadventures and talk to us about them later.

One time I remember Dad told the story of our one and only attempt at clock maintenance.

He had on old clock that I believe he found at a yard sale, intending to wind it up and put it on the mantelpiece. It must have needed more than winding so he gave it to us to see what we could learn from it. As the story goes we gave it back to him pretty quickly in pieces.

4 It’s A Grand Life

Many pieces. It filled a large cardboard box that we found somewhere. I don’t remember the meaning behind this sermon, perhaps that there is more inside us that is apparent on the surface, or not to judge the outside of people as what is inside is so much more. Or don’t give your children a clock to play with. What ever it was I remember squirming on my pew as the congregation chuckled along.

Now I find myself on the other end of the story. Remembering my childhood I try to be sensitive to my children’s feelings but let’s face it, they will most likely never read this, and as 3 out of 4 are now grown with their own lives they might like to hear these stories. It does, however, remind me of a TV show I used to watch. Perhaps you did too. Here is one of my favorite quotes from Friends that seems appropriate in this situation: “Oh my God. I’ve become my father. I’ve been trying so hard not to become my mother, I didn’t see this coming.”

Peace On Earth Facing Reality

I like fantasy and science fiction. I think it would be great fun to have my own dragon to train and ride, as would traveling through the universe exploring strange new worlds. But, reality… Reality can be pretty harsh. The Bible tells us the world is no longer the way God created it. We know there is great hurt, injustice, and illness.

On the flip side, there is much beauty including warm, caring and serving people making sweet realities of rightness and joy in the middle of challenging struggles. Those who bring hope and encouragement into a situation are great gifts.

I know a woman who suffers from COPD, in her case a condition likely caused by some of her own past choices. It’s a tough reality. If only… If only different choices had been made. I know a man who has some sort of neurological disorder that does not seem related to any past choice of his. He, too, faces a reality of steady decline. Reality often seems unfair.

In cases like these, I long for science fiction. You know, the special Star Trek tricorder that is held near the ailing body and it is restored in just moments. Accepting the reality of hearing loss, blindness, heart failure, cancers, depression, etc. is no longer necessary in that future. But, it is science fiction. It isn’t our reality. However, in Christ there is an amazing reality that helps us face our circumstances.

6 It’s A Grand Life

2 Corinthians 5:1 reads, “For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.” This is the reality I believe in. Our bodies were never supposed to last forever.

It is our heavenly dwelling that is eternal. I can better face the reality of this life, both for myself and my loved ones, knowing that this is temporary.

In Christ, there is an eternal life without pain or tears. (Rev. 21:4) Meanwhile, God is faithful. When we struggle, God gifts us with what we need to make it through the tough times. We grow in perseverance, faith and flexibility. We become powerful pray-ers. We learn to find joy even in the mess and we know the hope that surpasses understanding. Each time we come through a struggle, we are stronger and better equipped to help others facing similar situations.

When a new challenge arises, hindsight reminds us to tap into the strengths God gave us. Yes, we can face our realities with grace and gratitude.

May you be strengthened in your reality.

Shut-Eye say they have a healthy balance of taking time for themselves and helping others that need them (39 percent versus 26 percent).

Of course, if you’re having difficulty sleeping, this might sound easier said than done.

How do you get there? How do you achieve that wonderful, restorative eight hours of sleep?

There’s not one right way to do this, but according to the survey, there are several habits good sleepers have: * Ditch the device: Forty-six percent of selfdescribed “good sleepers” never or rarely bring a device to bed.

While eating well and getting exercise are extremely important often people neglect the keystone of good health: sleep.

While few people like daily workout routines or kale salad, most everyone loves sleep. And a good night’s sleep loves you, too: It boosts mental and physical well-being.

With today’s stressful, highly caffeinated, screenaddicted lifestyles, millions of Americans do not get enough sleep. There are many reasons for this. A look at the 2017 Sleep in Review study by Sleep Number suggests that sleeping habits are highly individualized and need to be addressed on a caseby-case basis.

A look at the numbers This year, more than 30 percent of Americans reported they slept worse than in 2016.

A big culprit here is television. Nearly half of all respondents said that television often cuts into their sleep. In fact, 24 percent of millennials and 14 percent of all Americans report that binge watching before bed prevents them from getting enough rest.

Nearly 70 percent say worry and responsibility are preventing them from getting the sleep they need. A racing mind keeps many Americans from getting rest, particularly among Gen Xers. Worries about taking care of others - aging parents or young children - can often lead to neglecting yourself.

* Have a laugh: Those who sleep well are more likely to watch a comedy before going to sleep. * Keep it cool: Forty-five percent say that cooling down the bedroom temperature is the No. 1 thing they do to improve sleep. * Stay tidy: Those who make their bed every morning are less likely to struggle with sleep.

A good night’s sleep can mean the difference between having a wonderful or a horrible day. More and more Americans are realizing this. Over half (54 percent) of those surveyed are making “improving the quality of their sleep” one of their New Year’s resolutions, which is up 30 percentage points from 2014.

Sleep is so individualized, and there’s no one right way to do it. The more you know about how you’re sleeping, the more you can learn what adjustments you should make to sleep better.

However, putting your own self-care first is often the best way to care for others. Those who sleep well It’s A Grand Life

Retirement Readiness A recent study by the Center for Retirement Research (CRR) at Boston College suggests an alarming state of awareness about retirement readiness: Of surveyed households, 33 percent realize they are not well prepared, 19 percent are not well prepared but don’t know it, and 24 percent are well prepared but don’t know it. Consider the following behaviors, which are more likely to be modeled by those who are well prepared for retirement.

Budgeting Not all budgets need to detail specific spending items. Rather, you can consider yourself working within a budget if you know that each year you are saving and not creating new debt. If you want to squeeze out more savings, a line-by-line review of spending may well be fruitful.

Personal debt Many of us are saddled with personal debt. This debt has become so burdensome that it also had a domino effect on the ability to save for retirement.

Paying down personal debt should be job one.

Other personal debt, such as for a car purchase, should be avoided, minimized or paid down as quickly as possible. Credit card debt, which carries high interest rates, should be avoided entirely.

Remember, each dollar of debt limits your ability to save for the future.

Mortgage debt It used to be commonly accepted that you pay off your mortgage before retirement, but more and more retirees are entering retirement with mortgage debt. The old rule remains the best approach, since any indebtedness in retirement will limit your ability to react and adjust to poor investment return on your assets.

Social Security With traditional pension plans less commonly offered by employers, Social Security has become an even more important source of guaranteed lifetime retirement income. By waiting to age 70, you can increase the benefit payment significantly, which is also the base for annual Social Security cost-of-living increases for the rest of your life. That increased Social Security benefit may also increase the benefit that a surviving spouse will receive after you die. Unless you have a health care issue that could reduce your life expectancy and no spouse who might need a spousal benefit based on your earnings record, claiming Social Security early is the greatest retirement planning mistake made.

8 It’s A Grand Life

Health care Health care is the single greatest cost in retirement, and various studies estimate the cost to be $250,000 or more for a healthy 65-year-old couple.

The cost of health care will be even greater to the extent one retires before age 65 and Medicare eligibility. The best plan, then, is to work until at least age 65 and understand that health care is a unique challenge in retirement.

Consider also that many of your retirement assets have an embedded tax liability. You will need to look through your retirement assets to determine after-tax income, since your food, rent and cable bills are paid with after-tax money. Only by seeing your after-tax income can you decide if you have enough to live on.

As you get closer to retirement, you will need to focus on the strategies associated with Social Security, health care and income generation. At all times you should annually revisit your goals and make adjustments, as needed, to how much and where you are saving, how much you are spending, how aggressively you are investing, and when your target retirement date is.

Modeling such behaviors will make it more likely you will be well prepared for retirement. By doing so you will also make it more likely that you are properly assessing the state of your retirement readiness and not over- or underestimating your financial health.

Money Matters Life changes - getting married, having a baby, buying or selling a home, sending a child off to college or retiring - often come with changes to your tax situation. Overlooking these changes when filing your taxes can lead taxpayers to make mistakes that leave money on the table, potentially impacting their refund at a time when the average refund is about $2,800. Here is a list of common tax mistakes to avoid in the 2018 filing season to help ensure you don’t miss any deductions or credits that you deserve.

Using the correct filing status One of the most common mistakes taxpayers make is selecting the wrong filing status. A taxpayer’s filing status can affect which credits and deductions they’re eligible for, the value of their standard deduction and their tax bracket. One situation that can make choosing a filing status difficult is when more than one filing status seems to fit.

For example, if a taxpayer with children is in the process of getting a divorce, they may not be sure if they should file as married filing jointly or married filing separately or, in some instances, whether they qualify to file as head of household. In this case, the taxpayers should run the numbers to see if filing jointly or separately is more to their advantage rather than guessing.

In addition, common clerical errors such as mixing up names, forgetting to include information reported on your W-2, 1099 or other forms, or even making mathematical errors can also affect your tax benefits.

Commonly overlooked credits and deductions Most taxpayers file their taxes using the standard deduction, but you may be eligible for a variety of itemized deductions that could possibly save you more. Also, you may be eligible for “above-the-line” deductions and tax credits, none of which require you to itemize. And it’s important to note that the newly passed tax reform generally does not impact these credits or deductions until you file your 2018 tax return in 2019.

be ineligible one year and eligible the next. Under the PATH Act, taxpayers who claim the EITC and who file early will have their refunds delayed until mid-February. Despite the delay, taxpayers should file as they normally would to get their refund as soon as possible.

Itemizing deductions: Itemizing can save taxpayers hundreds of dollars, as only one third of taxpayers itemize but millions more should - especially homeowners. Owning a home is often the key that unlocks itemization, but some taxpayers with high state taxes and charitable contributions may also be able to itemize.

Itemizing enables eligible taxpayers to take deductions such as: * Charitable donations * Medical expenses that exceed 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income * Personal property taxes * State income or sales taxes * Casualty losses such as a fire, hurricane or earthquake * Mortgage interest payments Not filing On average, the IRS announces annually that approximately $1 billion goes unclaimed in federal tax refunds. Taxpayers can claim a refund for up to three years after the filing deadline. So, in addition to filing your 2017 return, keep in mind to file your 2015 return by April 17, 2018. If not, you will lose your 2015 refund. There is no late-filing penalty if a taxpayer is due a refund. Also, even if you are not required to file a return, you may be entitled to a refund.

Earned Income Tax Credit for lower-income workers: Twenty percent of eligible taxpayers, particularly lower-income workers, do not claim the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Depending on their income and the number of children they have, these taxpayers may be eligible for an EITC of $503 to $6,242. Since eligibility can fluctuate based on financial, marital and parental status, taxpayers can

Living With Faith Most of us, I am sure, have heard over the year’s sermons and lessons regarding life and all its mysteries. Most, I am sure, sit back and think “here we go again” – we are going to hear how to live our lives and what we are doing wrong. Seldom do we hear what we are doing right.

Well, I am not going to disappoint you. However, what I will try to do is explain our understanding of life at this time of in our lives – not how it was years ago when we were strong and virile, but right now as we continue to mature and find it difficult to understand where we fit at this time.

Everyone has their troubles. As the story goes: A pregnant woman goes into labor, and her husband takes her to the hospital. Throughout the night, he hears moans coming from her room. He’s a nervous wreck, pacing back and forth hour after hour, sweat running down his face. Finally the doctor rushes out. “Congratulations! You have a girl.” “Thank God,” the man says. “She’ll never have to go through what I just did.”

We look around and see friends and neighbors who have experienced infirmities and we lend a helping hand and then realize it could be us. There are times when I visit patients in the hospital or attempt to comfort those in Hospice or console those who have lost a loved one, then I think about this.

But then I think about how we can make our lives more meaningful and fulfilling. It certainly isn’t

by admonishing some for their lack of respect or consideration. It certainly isn’t by criticizing people who have differing views about religion or politics.

It certainly isn’t by finding fault with some who don’t live up to our expectations.

We shape our destiny by words and deeds. These actions represent the blessing or the curse that we will discover as we continue to live and learn. We tend to concentrate on our hurts whether physical or mental.

So how do we gain a better understanding of life at this stage in our lives? Unfortunately that is not so easy to accomplish because for one thing we are products of our previous environments and can’t seem to break out of the mold and for another we feel that as we age we can’t change.

Here are my suggestions that hopefully can steer us on a path of gratification and completion: 1. We need to be more inclusive. We tend to segregate ourselves by associating with people we are comfortable with. That, in itself is not bad except that we shut out people who might enjoy being part of our lives and we theirs.

2. We do have a future and we should be concerned about it. All of us together form a community that needs each other because we share the same values and because we share the same ailments and frustrations.

3. We have the ability to make a difference in our community by setting an example that exemplifies our dedication to survival.

4. Be kind to one another 5. Smile at each other To understand life we should concentrate on the hope and faith that tomorrow will be better because we will it. To understand life we need to remove the nothingness in our lives and replace it with purpose.

The end will come soon enough. Let’s not rush it by destroying ourselves with things that don’t matter.

God is here with us waiting for us to stop hating; to cease saying words that have no meaning and are hurtful; to ignore the urge to break hearts by isolating ourselves from those we love and love us; to remember that we are all created in the image of God which allows us to appreciate each other.

Home Sweet Home homeowner age is an open floor plan. But for boomers, an open floor plan is more than just an aesthetic feature. Having wide spaces that allow you to move around is essential to maintaining your independence as you grow older. It also helps add more natural light and is ideal when gathering with family and friends.

4. Low maintenance

5 must-have home features for retirees As we move through the different stages in our lives, our housing needs change too. The home you were excited to move into in your 30s might not be ideal for those now nearing retirement.

According to the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, between 2015 and 2035, the number of people over the age of 75 living alone will nearly double from 6.9 million to 13.4 million. Being prepared for retirement and aging is important, so we’re going to take a closer look at the specific housing features that would most benefit those who are looking to downsize or find that perfect home to “age in.”

1. Walk-in showers Installing a walk-in bathtub or large shower is a good idea for ease and safety. Having extra room to move is not only aging-friendly, but a timeless trend that is easy to maintain. Clayton, one of America’s largest homebuilders, features optional walk-in showers with benches that are available in many of their homes. This is a feature that’s great at any age.

2. Wide doors and hallways Spacious doors and wide hallways do the double duty of making your home look great while providing enough space to maneuver a wheelchair or walker through if needed.

Fixing up an older home with good bones might look fun on TV, but it’s not something you will want to deal with in your retirement. Rather than trying to troubleshoot problem after problem, look for a newly constructed home. Not only will you have fewer maintenance issues, but you can design a flexible floor plan that fits your lifestyle.

5. A customizable floor plan The features listed so far are part of what is commonly known as age-in-place design. These home features work for people of all ages, but are designed so you can age into them. In addition, make sure the home you purchase is single-story and fits the lifestyle you want for your future.

As you grow older, you realize there is no one, perfect dream home. Rather, there are different dream homes for different stages of your life. At Clayton, we know one home model does not fit all, and that is why we offer a range of models and designs that are easily customizable, affordable and stylish, allowing you to get the most out of your silver years.

In the past several months, there has been significant media coverage and social media discussion about the Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017, which will make certain types of hearing aids available over the counter in the next several years. At the same time, there are many advertisements about devices called Personal Sound Amplification Products - which are not hearing aids and are not designed to treat hearing loss - adding to the confusion.

The Better Hearing Institute recommends that anyone who is ready to address their hearing loss keep these points in mind: 1) Addressing hearing loss promptly and appropriately is important for health and quality of life. Research shows that hearing loss is linked to cognitive decline and dementia, depression, an increased risk of falls and hospitalization, and greater health care costs.

2) Hearing loss is a complex sensory loss. It involves brain function and frequency losses specific to the individual. Human hearing involves a multifaceted interplay between specific parts of the ears and brain. For this reason, hearing aids - which are designed specifically to compensate for hearing loss - must be cleared by the FDA to ensure safety and efficacy.

3) Hearing aids need to be custom-fitted and programmed specifically for the individual so they correctly address those specific frequencies

Hearing Aids the individual has trouble hearing. This gives the wearer the greatest benefit and ensures that the level of amplification is appropriate across the entire frequency spectrum. Follow-up hearing aid adjustments, along with training to help consumers adjust to amplification and re-learn how to hear and process sounds they had been missing, further increase user satisfaction.

4) Personal sound amplifiers are not hearing aids and are not cleared by the FDA to treat hearing loss. Consumers need to be careful not to confuse hearing aids with PSAPs, which simply turn up the volume - sometimes to dangerously high decibel levels - regardless of the individual’s specific hearing needs.

5) Going to a hearing care professional helps ensure that any underlying medical issue behind a hearing loss is identified and addressed. It also helps ensure that the person’s hearing loss is safely and effectively treated.

6) Currently, hearing aids are only sold by licensed hearing care professionals. The way hearing aids are sold will change in a few years due to the Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017, which was signed into law in August 2017. The safest thing consumers can do for their hearing is to seek professional hearing health care advice from the start.

Life As A Caregiver I am a pretty positive person by nature. I tend to view things with the glass half full. That doesn’t mean I’m a Pollyanna. But it means I would rather be happy than sad.

But dealing with a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease sometimes makes being happy a challenge. It not only impacts your day-to-day existence, but in can creep into how you react to other issues that come up.

Take this week, for example. The husband of a very good friend of mine had a severe stroke early in the week. The prognosis is unclear, but he has a very long road ahead of him, if he makes it at all. His wife is just devastated. They both are just wonderful people whom I adore. And there’s nothing I can do to fix this. Oh yes…..I am there for her. I call and comfort and pray and support. And I will make meals and run errands and whatever else I can do to assist. But that’s about it. Doesn’t seem like very much. But I know it is. I am so sad and very teary.

Then a day later, I found out that a dear friend of mine is under hospice care and is unresponsive.

She had cancer about 2 years ago, beat it and moved back up to Washington state with her husband to be closer to family. Then the bloody cancer came back…with a vengeance. Treatments haven’t worked and all I’ve been able to do (with the help of our two other friends who all paled around together as a group) is declare my love and support through sending cards and texts. There is nothing I can do to fix this. I am so sad and very teary. And then today I learned she died. My dear friend died….way too soon.

But at least she is out of her pain and with the angels.

and teary.

And that’s what happens to caregivers. They take on all the natural burdens of life and have a harder time coping with them because they pile up inside.

I am lucky that I can get through them. God truly made me strong in many ways. But I am also quite emotional at the same time. Not the fall-apart emotional. But the teary and heavy-heart kind. I wasn’t able to cry my eyes out over the loss of my friend until my mom was settled and ready for bed. I wasn’t able to be quiet and pensive and deep in my thoughts over the stroke my friend had until mom was comfortable and secure for the night.

But that’s the way it is. I must be strong for her and not visibly sad or it will only make her sad. For the moment anyway. She won’t remember why I’m sad, but like I said, she & I live in the moment.

So what’s the solution to help keep my sanity and allow me to take care of myself? Working out is good. Taking short respites is also good. And I do both. But my love for my mom is unconditional and watching her go through this brings tears to my eyes as fast as I can snap my fingers.

Which is what I wish I could do to rid her of this horrible disease!

Also today, as I was giving my mom her breakfast, she tried to find a word to express what she wanted me to do. And it wouldn’t come. And she broke down and cried out of total frustration. The inability to find words to express yourself is an effect of Alzheimer’s. She hasn’t had that problem very often, so this could be a sign of continued deterioration. I settled her down, was kind and soft with her and explained that this was a symptom of Alzheimer’s, not about her being stupid (which she claims she is). She snapped out of it quickly and she resumed breakfast. But I couldn’t fix it. And when I left her room, I was sad
