From Me To You...

Welcome to the May edition of Viva!

I went to the mailbox recently with a sense of anticipation, a feeling similar to childhood birthdays washed over me. What would I get? Would I like it?

Would it change my life?

I am sure you too have seen or enjoyed the recent rash of subscription box services that have popped up. You can subscribe to a box of make up, clothing, dog toys even your family dinners. Some of these are time savers, others just pander to our childhood love of presents. Because that is what it feels like. Sure I put down my credit card to enjoy this present, but someone else picked it out for me and took the time to wrap it and send it to my door.

I will admit that I have, in the past, enjoyed a box of food that I wanted to use to expand my family’s dinner repertoire. The measured and decanted oils and vegetables promised a new experience that we

could all enjoy making together. That lasted for the first meal. My imagined evenings of bonding over cooking and sharing meals we prepared together fell to the wayside as the food languished in the fridge.

The box delivered on its promises but what it did not give me was more time and energy to gather the troops and organise the cooking project. Plus, some of those meals were downright weird.

As for the box of dog treats and toys... Well that always delighted my four-legged friend, and he pretty much ate everything that arrived (toys included). The downside of that particular box is that now he thinks every package is his and goes nuts trying to get at my Amazon deliveries.

Will I subscribe again? I am sure I will. After all, who doesn’t love getting a present in the mail?

Living With Faith

There is nothing sweeter than a mother’s love. In fact, there is nothing more precious than the attachment that began in the womb and was then drawn into light, still attached. And when the cord is severed a different connection materializes: loyalty, devotion and affection. That is what is known as a mother’s love.

In the Bible, Sarah, the mother of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, gives birth to Isaac in the winter of her life, a time when all things sleep and wither and even die. Her immortality was ensured because she completed her role in determining the future of the human experience that was woven in the promise of a relationship with the Divine.

In the ancient writings there is a story, emphasizing this connection, about a dialogue between Sarah and an image of her son Isaac in which she inquires about the happening with his father Abraham. Isaac relates the whole episode of how Abraham took him to the top of a mountain, built an altar, arranged the wood, bound him and took a knife to slaughter him. And then God prevented this from happening. Before the dialogue ends, Sarah dies.

There is nothing more heartrending then to witness the death of a child. It is not hard to imagine the despair she felt. Not only had she sacrificed so much to give birth to Isaac, but also now she saw her dreams of the future shattered in an instant of uncompromising faith.

The binding of her son was more that her heart could carry.

This detail of a mother’s anguish and pain speaks to

the suffering we all experience as we journey through life, trying to find our purpose for being. Yet we must all answer the Divine in us. Some more than others.

Some with sacrifices beyond imagination.

Sarah talks to me in a way that no other human being can. She represents the goodness and kindness and love that a mother has not only for her own but also for all of humanity.

Her lesson for us is simple: Sometimes we go through experiences that require us to search for new meanings because of disappointment, a tragedy or an illness, not being able to communicate with a loved one because of something that really is insignificant. And then like Sarah, we are no more. It is a broken heart that finally creates the need for her story to be told, and particularly at this time of the year when we remember our mothers.

The call to sacrifice Isaac was not a test of faith but rather a calling to a higher purpose. It wasn’t the sacrifice of a person that was its message but an entrance to a spiritual awakening: to love each other and treat each other with dignity and to stand in awe of each other.

Sarah could not cope with the thought that God would want such a sacrifice. Her knowledge that human relationships are the foundation of creation causes her to doubt, and it is this doubt that causes her defeat.

And this defeat she could not reconcile with her faith.

Yes, there is a chapter set aside in the Bible called “The life of Sarah,” because from the moment she dies, Abraham changes and understands that faith in God requires a human vision of life. Perhaps that is the lesson we should take with us on this Mother’s Day. Life is not death. Life is to live. And a mother’s love brought us to this understanding.

Happy Mother’s Day to all.

Furry Friends

As a lifelong New Englander, this will be my first summer as an Arizona resident. I’ve heard a lot about the heat here, much like we New Englanders talk about the snow! With the Arizona heat, there are some summer safety tips you may want to take into consideration, especially pertaining to your furry friends.

Rattlesnakes are a hot topic for this season.

Rattlesnakes tend to be more active in the spring when they first come out of hibernation and in the late summer, early fall when they breed. They typically find shade on sunny days, coming out at dusk when the temperatures are cooler. Rattlesnakes cannot hear you but are alerted to your presence through the vibrations of your step. Dogs can be trained to stay away from rattlesnakes. Community Paws offers Rattlesnake Training each Spring. This year, there were 39 canine graduates. If you missed this informative training, check out www.ViperVoidance. com for upcoming sessions.

Never, ever leave your pets in the car, not even for a quick coffee stop. It only takes minutes for your car’s internal temperature to quickly rise. Heatstroke can lead to brain damage or death. Leaving the windows down does not help. If you see an animal in a car

exhibiting signs of heat stress, call your local animal control or police department immediately and take the following steps: 1. Get the vehicle’s license number and enter the nearest store or business to request an emergency announcement be made about a pet left in a hot car.

2. Go back and wait for help to arrive at the vehicle.

Think Fluffy needs a summer haircut? Not necessarily… It may make him more susceptible to being sunburned. Dogs’ coats provide insulation from both hot and cold weather. They also protect their skin, from the hot summer heat. When in doubt, always check with your local veterinarian for their expert opinion. When considering sunscreen, also ask your vet, as human-grade sunscreen may not be the best option for your canine companion.

All in all, make sure your family pets have access to plenty of fresh water, shady reprieves, and are wearing proper ID tags at all times. Consider buying your dog his very own kiddie pool for your backyard too, that’s a sure way to make a splash and beat the summer heat!

Winter Visitor Home Security Tips

The holidays are over, spring training fun is behind us and the temperatures are beginning to rise; it is that time of year, time for winter visitors to start heading back to cooler climates. Goodyear Police Department would like to remind our winter visitors of some home security tips to keep winter homes safe from would-be criminals.

If you haven’t already, it is important to get to know the surrounding neighbors. The neighbors can be your eyes and ears while you are away for an extended period of time. Ask neighbors to keep an eye on your home while you are away. Let them know who, if anyone, has permission to come and go from your property. Provide them with a good phone number at which you can be reached in case of questions or if an emergency arises.

It is important that your home appear occupied to passersby. Stop all mail and newspapers. Set lights on a timer so that it appears someone is at home during the evenings. Make arrangements for yard maintenance. An overgrown yard is a clear give-away that the property is unoccupied.

Before leaving home for the season, remove all exterior hidden keys to the home. Check and double check that all doors and windows are securely locked. Consider a home security system and video surveillance. Many of these home security systems now allow for homeowners to monitor activity remotely, and some will even send notifications if there is any disruption.

Finally, contact the Goodyear Police Department at least three days before leaving to request a home vacation watch. The department offers this free service to its residents in order to provide peace of mind while away for an extended period of time. Goodyear Police wish its winter visitors safe travels home and look forward to their return to Goodyear next fall.

Face Reality

Life As A Caregiver

Mom has shown numerous changes since we’ve been in Arizona these last four years. But especially in the last year. Deteriorating changes. When we first moved here, she was able to do various activities in spite of her condition: word puzzles, fold laundry, wash the dishes, do a little ironing, and set the table. She really was into the tv shows she liked and laughed out loud at their stories.

But now, there has been what seems to be a consistent decline. She is getting very hard of hearing which makes things even more challenging. She does none of the above-mentioned activities and her focus in general is short and scattered. She now must be told what to do: like brush her teeth, wash her hands, flush the toilet and what clothes to put on. And when told to do these things, she must be told several times because she forgets.

But what she STILL has is her sense of humor, her ability to laugh at funny things and have interesting conversations. Her opinions are still strong. And so is her love for Buddy…and me. She tells me how much she loves me all the time.

Everyone’s situation is different, of course. But what he and I both felt was best for mom was to lock her inside her casita when she’s there alone. One of the characteristics of Alzheimer’s is wandering.

Fortunately, mom doesn’t have the tendency to wander. But if she did, that would be a horrible thing to deal with. There are so many stories about elders with Alzheimer’s walking aimlessly through their neighborhoods, often in their pajamas, not knowing where they are, how they got there or how to get back home. It might sound harsh, but she feels safe and isn’t scared that someone might open the door and come in.

The main point to all of this is to know what to expect as a family member battles through Alzheimer’s disease. This is happening to my mother. But, in addition to our elders, it could happen to your husband, your wife, your sister or your brother.

Knowing what to do and understanding what you will be faced with in the future can help both your family member AND you! Be prepared….to the best of your ability. Denial is NOT your friend!

Submitted by Kathy Linton, West Valley Resident

I think what I miss the most throughout this journey is her inability to remember what is going on in MY life: where I’ve been or what I’ve done, if I’ve been sick, if I’ve met someone new. The things we used to share all the time. That is the hardest part!

Here is a big decision the doctor and I made together.

Take A Chance Unique ideas to be gutsier in life Being human takes guts, but a sense of bold confidence doesn’t come easily for everyone; and often requires you to start from the inside. You may need to overcome mental roadblocks and bulldoze through personal physical barriers that have held you back. Now is the perfect time to break free of those internal boundaries and challenge yourself to live boldly and bravely. Here are some ideas to unlock your potential from the inside out, allowing you to live gutsier at any age: Start with a gut check To be your best self and have the “guts” to tackle whatever lies ahead, get your gut in check and reap the glory. Nutrition experts like Ellie Krieger, RD, host of “Ellie’s Real Good Food” show and author of several healthy cookbooks, agree that one of the most efficient and impactful ways to bring balance to the digestive tract for better digestive and immune health is with a daily probiotic.

Try something new When you try something you’ve never done before, it stimulates the body and mind. Don’t worry about failure - just keep an open mind and have fun. No matter the outcome, you’ll create lifelong memories.

For example, even if you aren’t crafty, sign up for a pottery class. Always wondered about yoga? Take an intro session. Want to make new friends? Attend that community function. When you get outside your comfort zone, you may be surprised just how much fun you have.

Eat new foods Expand your nutritional palate with healthy items that aren’t staples on your daily menu - mix them with dishes you know and try them a couple of times.

Training your brain to recognize new flavors and smells requires multiple exposures, and proximity to familiar favorites helps make things safe by association. You never know what might become your next favorite dish. You might even consider signing up for a cooking class to learn new skills in the kitchen.

Take a spontaneous PTO day Americans wasted 658 million paid vacation days, that means more than half of workers (55 percent) left vacation time unused. Don’t let precious time off slip away, and take a mental health day. Call in on a random day and give yourself the gift of an unplanned day off. Maybe it’s a particularly nice day and you can go hiking or you can surprise your best friend with lunch on her birthday. Take a “me day” and enjoy.

Reflect on and be a role model Who do you admire for their guts? Is it someone famous or someone close to you? Think about what they do that inspires you. If you can, tell them why.

For example, write your mom a letter about how she’s impacted your life. It’s sure to make her day.

While thinking about role models, reflect on how you can be a better one yourself. Whether you hope to inspire your friends, children or co-workers, be the best you that you can be. Always stand up for what you believe in and be true to yourself. One way to do this is to donate to a cause close to your heart.

5 spring DIY craft projects to make old stuff new again

Spring isn’t just the season to clean out old junk from your home, it’s also the perfect time to tackle some DIY craft projects that repurpose household items and give them new life. Repurposing, or “upcycling,” is one of the hottest trends in home decor and design for 2017, according to online DIY community Hometalk. com. Before you throw away an old book case, battered picture frame or wooden industrial spool, why not think of ways to upcycle those items instead?

Here are five projects the DIY experts at Arrow Fastener Company recommend to help you add a fresh look to your home while giving new life to old items: Book page wreath - True book-lovers find it painful to ever throw away a book, but what can you do with a tome that’s become too worn to read anymore? Turn it into a decorative wreath that proclaims your love of the written word. You’ll need wood for a base, an old book and a craft glue gun.

Feline playland - If you have a bored cat and an old book case, you have the makings of magic! The blog My Very Educated Mother offers directions on how to repurpose an old book case by using a staple gun to affix rugged carpet remnants to the interior, shelves and exterior of the case. The shelves are a fun place for kitty to sit, and the carpet gives her somewhere appropriate to sharpen her claws. You can also store toys, treats and even a bed on the shelves.

Woodland picture frame - Do you have an old picture frame or a mirror that the glass has broken out of?

You can transform the most basic or worn frame into a piece of natural art by using a glue gun to attach sticks in varying shapes and sizes to the frame. Use sticks from a craft store or from your own backyard to decorate the frame, giving it a rustic look that brings a bit of nature into your home.

For more DIY projects to help you repurpose old items into new home decor this spring, visit arrowfastener. com/projects or Arrow’s Pinterest page.

Industrial wooden spool seat and bookshelf - You may have no idea where it came from or why it’s in your garage, but that industrial spool can become the perfect place to put up your feet and read a book.

A blog post on Pandora’s Craft Box shows you how to turn a wooden spool into a beautiful bookshelf/ footstool combo. You’ll need wood stain, pieces of wood to create internal shelving, upholstery materials like batting, foam and fabric, and an Arrow T50 Heavy Duty staple gun to affix the padding to the top of the spool.

Wine bottle rustic vase - Every now and then you have a bottle of wine that’s just so good - or the bottle itself is so pretty - you just don’t want to give it up.

Turning it into a rustic vase is a great way to preserve the memories associated with the bottle and create a beautiful decorative piece for your home. You’ll need a glass wine bottle, 20-50 feet of sisal rope, scissors, a mini glue gun, glue sticks and optional decorative embellishments.

People with a condition affecting the way their body absorbs nutrients and those who have had surgery on their digestive tract should also speak with their doctor about supplements that may improve their overall health.

Researchers at the Mayo doctor to see if anything is impacting your rest. You Clinic found high-intensity aerobic exercise actually should also try to limit your daytime napping (just reversed some cellular aspects of aging.

A sharp mind is every bit as important as a healthy body, and exercising your * Focus on your sexual health. This topic may not be as widely discussed as your physical or mental brain can be a lot of fun. Spend time learning new health, but it is no less important. Men should talk to things on the internet, enroll in a class for that craft you’ve always wanted to master, go out with friends or their doctors about their lessening testosterone levels, sit down and play a board game. All of these activities which drop about 1 percent per year after age 30. can greatly improve your mental health. For example, Women may experience a similar drop in estrogen levels as well and should consult their doctor for a Mayo Clinic study found playing games decreased treatment options.

True or False?

5 health ‘facts’ that are actually myths Get eight hours of sleep at night, eat your vegetables, and an apple a day keeps the doctor away - these are all common health sayings you’ve heard and probably believe to be true. While commonly told health myths may have some truth to them, there are some that don’t hold up to further examination.

It seems to make sense, but it’s not true. There is no proof colder temperatures increase your chances of catching a cold, according to LiveScience.com. Instead, research shows the spike in colds during the winter months is actually due to people spending more time indoors, around one another, making it easier for the cold to spread from one person to the next.

1.) Starve a cold and feed a fever.

4.) Reading in poor lighting is bad for your eyes.

This one has been told for years, though most people can’t remember which one you starve and which you feed. However, according to WebMD, the best advice is to starve neither. You’ll recover from the flu or a cold more quickly with a healthy, balanced diet, so eat sensibly and you’ll be yourself again in no time.

While it certainly makes it more difficult to focus on what you’re reading, there is no evidence that reading under such conditions will cause any permanent structural or long-term damage to your eyes according to WebMD.
