The truth is, love can look and feel differently to every person. This month, rather than looking for the perfect gift for your spouse, I’d like to encourage you to spend some time learning to love yourself. It’s truly the gift that keeps on giving.

ALBRECHT AND SON LLC

Whether you’re in love, been in love or have lost love, this is the time our culture celebrates love! I think the best part about love is as we age, we’ve gained the wisdom to understand love is more than the pounding in our hearts, but rather a commitment to care deeply for one another as we face the ups and downs of life.

LOVE WELL

Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.

Mother Teresa

Immature love says: ‘I love you, because I need you.’ Mature love says: ‘I need you, because I love you.’

Erich Fromm

Love cures people - both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.

Karl A. Menninger

True love cannot be found where it does not exist, nor can it be denied where it does.

Love has no age, no limit; and no death.

John Galsworthy

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

Oscar Wilde

A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.

Ingrid Bergman

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.

Dalai Lama

To love is to admire with the heart; to admire is to love with the mind.

LOVE

SHOW APPRECIATION Do you appreciate your spouse every day? If you want your relationship to make it for the long haul, then you will learn that big gestures are nice, but it’s the little things that count. Never let an opportunity pass you by to tell someone how much they mean to you. If you need ideas to help show appreciation to your spouse, then here are some that will assist.

4. Listen and communicate

1. Say “I love you” daily

Some people need to know how much they are loved and appreciated. As they pass you by, take time to tell them how you feel.

Never lose that playfulness you had with your spouse from the start. Help them cook dinner, put on some great music, and take a quick dance around the room.

2. Leave love letters

6. Smile when they look at you.

If you want to show how much you appreciate your spouse, why not leave little love letters around the house. Using sticky notes are a great way to leave messages for them to find.

3. Offer a massage

Nothing feels better after a long day than a back and neck rub. You can take turns massaging each other’s feet, necks, and backs. It’s an excellent way to release tension from stress and feel the loving touch of the one who holds your heart.

10

THE GRAND SEASON • FEBRUARY 2024

The best thing that you can do for your spouse is to listen and effectively communicate with them.

Don’t interrupt when they’re trying to tell you about their day. Listen to every word they say and validate their feelings.

5. Be playful

Sometimes the best thing to do is to say nothing, but instead, offer a look that says it all. When your lover looks at you, grin. Not just any smile, but you want a smile so deep and genuine that it lights up your eyes.

Never let a moment pass you by where you don’t show the one you love how much you care.

You’re not promised tomorrow, and life is but a vapor that can quickly be gone. Make sure that if tomorrow never comes, they know how much you loved them.

YOU

LOVE YOURSELF

Don’t neglect the most important person in your life

Do you know that you’re very special? There is no other person in this world like you. You deserve to be loved, not only by those around you, but by the most important person in your life—yourself.

Practicing self-love can be challenging for many of us, especially in times when we face serious challenges.

It’s not about being self-absorbed, it’s about getting in touch with yourself, your well-being and your happiness.

Do yourself a favor, take a deep breath, give yourself a little hug and start practicing the following: 1. Start each day by telling yourself something really positive. How well you handled a situation, how lovely

14

you look today.

Anything that will make you smile.

2. Fill your body with food and drink that nourishes it and makes it thrive.

3. Move that gorgeous body of yours every single day and learn to love the skin you’re in. You can’t hate your way into loving yourself.

4. Don’t believe everything you think.

There is an inner critic inside of us trying to keep us small and safe. The downside is this also stops us from living a full life.

5. Surround yourself with people who love and encourage you. Let them remind you just how amazing you are.

THE GRAND SEASON • FEBRUARY 2024

6. Stop the comparisons.

There is no one on this planet like you, so you cannot fairly compare yourself to someone else.

The only person you should compare yourself to is you.

7. End all toxic relationships.

8. Celebrate your wins no matter how big or small.

9. Step outside of your comfort zone and try something new. It’s incredible the feeling you get when you realize you have achieved something you didn’t know you could do before.

10. Take time out to calm your mind every day.

11. Treat others with love and respect.

It will make you feel better about yourself when you treat others the way you hope to be treated.

12. Learn to say no.

Saying no doesn’t make you a bad person, it makes you a smart person.

13. Give up the need for approval from others.

14. Get creative and express yourself in whatever way you like.

15. Have fun! Get out there and do the things that light your fire. Enjoy them, enjoy being you and enjoy your incredible life.

Air-popped popcorn is better for you and healthier. Keep your kernels in the refrigerator or even the freezer. You can use them straight from the fridge, and the bonus is that you’ll have less unpopped kernels and bigger, fluffier popcorn.

Clean the dryer vent after every load. Clean the dryer vent screen monthly with a gentle soap and water bath. Rinse well and dry thoroughly before inserting back into your dryer.

Store an apple or two with your potatoes to keep them from sprouting. Be sure to check them often.

The word “whisky” comes from the Gaelic phrase “uisge beatha,” or “water of life.”

FACTS

STRANGE BUT TRUE

If you make a visit to Iceland, you might run across a tiny, intricately designed house known as an alfhol. But it wasn’t built for a family of dolls. Rather, such structures are created for the “hidden folk” of Icelandic folklore, creatures often invisible to humans but who are believed to lead lives similar to ours.

An AI program using merely 10 seconds of human speech has been able to identify whether someone has diabetes with 89% accuracy.

Vomitoriums in ancient Rome weren’t actually spaces for gastronomic feasting and purging, but an architectural feature in stadiums that allowed for more efficient crowd exits.

Irving Berlin dedicated all royalties from “God Bless America” to a fund of the same name, specifically for the benefit of such youth organizations as the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts in New York City.

To date, more than $10 million has been raised.

By 2027, Sweden plans to boast a city made entirely of wood.

GROWTH

DATE NIGHT

You know date nights are beneficial to your relationship.

The next step is figuring out what to do on these special nights out.

Are you looking for something a bit more exciting or unique than just going out to dinner and a movie?

There are lots of things to do on a date that you may not have considered. Here are some ideas to freshen up your date night routine: 1. Cook dinner together and enjoy it at home by the fire or out on the patio if it is nice outside. Make one dish that each of you remembers from your childhood to share with the other person.

2. Play with the animals at your local animal shelter.

This will help you give back to the community while also enjoying the company of a dog or cat.

3. Find an outdoor concert that offers inexpensive lawn tickets and grab your lawn chairs for an entertaining date night 4. Do a selfie photoshoot and update all of the pictures in your house of the two of you.

5. Go for a treasure hunt by shopping in all of the local thrift stores to see what kind of things you can find.

6. Make the ultimate throw-back playlist of songs that you both used to listen to in high school. Talk about the memories that the songs bring up.

7. Make a fancy pizza together at home. Get all of the ingredients from a specialty store and see what kind of combinations you can come up with.

8. Start learning a new language together. Once you get good at it, you can consider taking a trip to a country where the language is spoken.

9. Take your spouse on a surprise trip. Tell them what to pack, but don’t tell them where you are going.

10. Go to a drive-in movie theater and snuggle up in the back of your car while you watch an old movie. Bring some snacks and drinks to enjoy!

11. Take a dessert tour around your city. Try the city’s most-raved-about desserts that you have always thought were too indulgent to eat.

12. Take a self-guided restaurant tour in your city by stopping into various restaurants for an appetizer or small plate so you can try out some new foods.

HOLLYWOOD HAPPENINGS Tom Cruise, 61, is reportedly dating Russian model Elsina Khayrova, 36. Khayrova is a mother of two who was formerly married to a Russian oligarch close to Vladimir Putin for a decade. Now a British citizen living in London, she and Cruise have been seen around Blighty, but somehow, she doesn’t seem to fit the love profile of our “Top Gun!”

Ryan Reynolds is starring in the live-action/ animated fantasy-comedy “IF,” produced by John Krasinski, who also wrote, directed and stars in the film.

It follows a young girl who has the ability to see people’s imaginary friends, referred to as “IFs.” The film also captures the voices of Steve Carell, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Louis Gossett Jr., Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Maya Rudolph, Jon Stewart, Sam Rockwell, Sebastian Maniscalco, Christopher Meloni, Richard Jenkins, Awkwafina and Vince Vaughn.

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ A Message from Sue Royer “I was born and raised in inner city Chicago, the sixth of eighteen children with fifteen brothers. Being the oldest daughter, I was always a caregiver which I believe influenced me to pursue work in the healthcare industry. Today, I have three daughters and five grandchildren.

Years ago, I volunteered for hospice and knew immediately that helping seniors was my calling. I was soon employed by hospice but I felt something was missing. I realized it was the limited time I was able to spend with my clients. Having my own business allows me to provide the intimate hands on service needed in our community. I am committed to our seniors throughout their lives and I thank the community for the opportunity to serve.”

A Service That Makes a Difference, A Name You Can Trust FEBRUARY 2024 • THE GRAND SEASON

By Matilda Charles

HEALTH

How many daily steps do we really need for optimum health? Ten thousand steps seems to be the gold standard in most of what we read to keep diabetes and high blood pressure (as well as several other conditions) at bay. And how do we keep track of all our steps?

Before you decide on a target number of steps per day, call your medical provider and ask how many you should be doing.

You might learn that with an otherwise active, healthy life, several thousand steps per day might be enough, rather than the whole 10,000. How to count those steps is the tricky part. I have several of those little clip-on step counters, and unfortunately, they all come up with different results.

I have no way of knowing which are accurate.

There is a popular tracker called Fitbit, a fancy step counter that looks like a watch. Each model has pros and cons, per thousands of online reviews. Some do more than just count steps; they also keep tabs on your location with GPS, your pace and how far you’ve walked, your sleep profile, your heart rate and your stress level. They can be pricey, especially if you want to unlock all the features and sign up for Fitbit Premium to see all your data on the dashboard.

Your best bet is to Google “best step counters for seniors” and wade through a few dozen choices. You’ll find Apple Watch, 3DTriSport Walking 3D Pedometer, Garmin Vivofit 4 activity tracker and so many more. If you have a subscription to Consumer Reports, check their reviews on activity trackers for seniors.

Before you opt for an expensive tracker, visit a store where they are sold and try them out. A watch font might be too tiny to read, or a clip-on might not stay clipped on.
