This is excellent advice for this moment in 2020. For the last four weeks we have been ambushed by political ads.

As if life with COVID wasn’t enough, we have just lived through the most heated election in the history of our great nation. As our publication is being sent to print, the outcome of the presidential election is still undecided.

I want to say thank you to all of the Veterans who have served to make our country great. I hope each of you have a dynamic month, and are able to share Thanksgiving with those you love.

Thank you for supporting the advertisers who make The Grand Season possible.

Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received.

Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.

INSPIRE

Henry Van Dyke

Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.

William Arthur Ward

THANKFULNESS An attitude of gratitude goes a long way.

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. Melody Beattie

I am happy because I’m grateful. I choose to be grateful. That gratitude allows me to be happy.

Will Arnett

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

YOU

FIND PEACE Reduce your stress this holiday season.

A certain amount of stress is just part of the human experience— especially this time of year. It’s natural. Yet too many people suffer with severe stress that disrupts sleep, work performance, health, relationships and life satisfaction all year long. Find your calm this holiday season with these natural fixes:

Practice Yoga. Slow down and connect. There’s a form of yoga for every preference.

Meditate. Clear thoughts from your mind with deep breathing. Let the apps Headspace or Breethe become your mindfulness coach.

Exercise. It’s just science. Regular workouts combat stress and give you a dose of feel-good endorphins.

Stretch. It feels good, it’s good for you and it slows you down.

Take a bath. Bubbles and dim lighting can create a relaxing atmosphere. Wine optional.

Pray.

Hike for the exercise benefits and the calming landscape.

Try your hand at art. Paint. Color in an adult coloring book. Shape clay.

Hands-on expression is a healthy outlet for stress.

Clean. Vigorous cleaning can give you a sense of accomplishment and order.

Punch a punching bag. Release stress through physical exertion.

Organize. Let’s face it. Stress is often caused by situations that feel out of our control. Organizing puts us back in the control seat and brings on the calm.

Talk therapy. A professional can help you process and rethink your beliefs. Gain new insights that empower you to defeat stress.

Sleep. Go for eight hours, even if you’ve tried to convince yourself you only need six.

Hug. Give them freely. Accept them regularly.

Practice gratitude. Ask yourself what’s good right now. Train your brain to notice everything that’s going right in your life.

Journal. Get what’s churning in your head on paper. It’s just cathartic and often the process leads to solutions.

Do one nice thing for someone. It’s human nature to help and it feels good for the receiver and the giver.

Let it go. If you can’t control it or change it, consider letting it go.

LOVE

HELPFUL HABITS

Giving thanks for and with your spouse is one of the most significant habits you can build into your marriage. Gratitude is an essential ingredient in any relationship, but it takes intentionality and time to put it into practice.

When we approach marriage with thankfulness, relational satisfaction rises. Here are a few specific ways that gratitude can strengthen and protect your marriage: Gratitude helps us remember the reasons we first fell in love with our spouse. Stating words of appreciation for our times together, sparks memories of particularly strong seasons that can sustain commitment during harder seasons.

Gratitude increases love, fun, and forgiveness.

Study after study confirms that individuals who consistently give thanks are more likely to experience positive emotions and satisfying interactions. The same is doubly true for marriage.

When two people are committed to seeing and appreciating life’s gifts together, their perspectives change and broaden. Anxiety tends to lessen, and shared enjoyment increases.

Gratitude enhances sex. True mutual thankfulness deepens a couple’s emotional and spiritual bonds, which inevitably fosters a more intense physical connection. When we appreciate one another authentically, the risk in vulnerability lessens. Affirmation creates a safer space and a more tender connection.

A thankful heart is a grateful heart.

Gratitude creates a mutual cycle of appreciation.

It’s simply human nature that when a person feels appreciated, they’re more likely to state appreciation for others. Practicing gratitude in marriage can have a snowball effect because as one partner expresses thanks and affirmation, the same more naturally flows from the other.

Occasional small thanks can lead to a whole and underlying culture of gratitude.

Gratitude softens criticism. Harsh words sting and have the power to tear down confidence in a marriage. When words of affirmation and gratitude become consistent and integral to a relationship, they slowly lay a foundation of trust that cushions the blow of harsh words.

Here are some practical ways to practice gratitude in your marriage: Make a shared gratitude journal. Together, write down three things you’re each thankful for at the end of every day. Studies show this practice has a significant impact on happiness.

Write a list of all the things you appreciate about your partner. Having a written record of gratitude will prove powerful on the days marked by frustration or loneliness.

Remember together. Enjoy reflecting on past memories and seasons that you’ve shared.

Be actively grateful for the journey you’ve walked together, stating appreciation for one another and for shared experiences.

This Thanksgiving, appreciate the many gifts in your life, and be especially grateful for the partner beside you.

Make a commitment– together–to extend the practice of giving thanks each day.

KIDS

LEAD BY EXAMPLE Connect with your kids by serving others

As parents, we all want our children to grow up to be adults with character and who care for others. In the haste of life, it’s hard to remember values are caught, not taught. So this holiday season, make an intentional plan to cultivate your kids character by showing them how to connect with others. Here are a few ideas to help you start:

LOVE

your

OUTDOORS!

Take a tech fast

Conversation and bonding at the dinner table can easily give way to scrolling through your social feeds while your kids text their friends.

Instead, try taking a tech fast for the entire day. Start conversations with open ended questions about hopes, dreams and desires. Parent participation is required.

Serve others

Clear your calendar of sports, shopping and cleaning, and schedule time to give back to you community. Volunteering at a soup kitchen or serving others will leave a lasting impact on your child’s life.

You can also: Organize a food drive, donate toys or visit residents in an assisted living home.

Make a Gratitude Jar

As you prep for Thanksgiving, try instituting a “thankful jar” in a prominent place in your home. Leave a stack of sticky notes and a pen beside the jar, and ask your family to contribute notes to the jar whenever they feel grateful.

Whether it’s being thankful for soccer practice or gratitude toward a family member for helping with chores, it just takes a couple of minutes to scribble a note and drop it in the jar. Then, at Thanksgiving dinner, you can take each note out and read it aloud.

Cultivating our children’s character is an activity that will take a lifetime, but making intentional efforts during the holidays provide a solid foundation for their future.

VOLUNTEER

SHARE YOUR TALENTS It’s the best way to change the world

“Giving Tuesday” is the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, and is a global movement and day that celebrates and encourages giving back.

Giving Tuesday is a great reminder to write a check to your favorite nonprofit organization. But beyond money, when it comes to planning where and how you will spend your time and energy, let your strengths guide you to ways you can help the people and community around you.

Writing a check or volunteering your time with your favorite nonprofit organization is a great idea. If you have extra time or resources to give, however, consider these creative ways to put your strengths to work when giving back this year.

1. Animal whisperer? Consider fostering some furry friends from your local animal shelter.

2. Avid reader? Pass on a book that could change someone’s life. The right book could help someone start a business, improve a relationship or provide a confidence boost.

3. Love fitness? Sign up for a charitable walk or run and give to a cause you care about. Better yet, ask someone to workout with you and be a fitness mentor.

5. Talented teacher? Talk to a local school about volunteering to be a tutor.

6. Love events? Donate your time and talents to a fundraising event for a worthy organization.

7. Connected? How could you use your network to help someone else? The right introduction could lead to a job prospect, an increase in revenue, or a new friendship.

8. Enjoy children? Volunteer to watch your friend’s kids for an evening or host a slumber party for your kids and their friends.

9. Extra cash? Think about buying something for a stranger. Pick up the tab for the person behind you at the coffee shop or the tollbooth on the bridge.

10. Great cook? Volunteer your talents at a local soup kitchen.

Stay true to yourself by giving in the realms that make you the happiest. When you give back with your own talents, it doesn’t feel like work—it feels like an expression of who you are.

4. Is your thumb green? Lead a community garden project or teach kids how to care for flowers and plants.

CELEBRATE

SAVOR THANKSGIVING Take time out to appreciate this special day.

If you love Thanksgiving, but are overwhelmed by the thought of planning it, we’ve got you covered.

With a little planning, this Thanksgiving can be the most festive yet.

1. Plan ahead for the day you want

It sounds simple, but your ideal holiday won’t materialize unless you make it happen. Share your desires openly with family, i.e. “I hope you will stay all day, so we can have lots of time together.”—to create the day you want.

2. Relax your expectations

Without dwelling on it, acknowledge something will likely go wrong with your day, but that’s okay.

Remember, just roll with the punches!

3. Embrace the nap

While it’s a myth that the tryptophan in turkey makes you sleepy, the energy your body needs

to burn through a big meal can wipe you out. If everyone in your family wants to take a nap after eating, embrace it!

4. Take a walk

Walking after a big meal wakes you up and helps you digest. So gather your guests and head outside for a game of football, or a walk around the neighborhood.

5. Don’t rush to clean up

If you start cleaning up as soon as your meal is finished, you might send an unintended message that it’s time for guests to stop talking and start helping. Enjoy the conversation fully before you pick up all the plates.

6. Remember what the day is about

Thanksgiving is truly about coming together as a family to give thanks. Focus on your blessings and help those around you do the same.

GIVE THANKS Carve a good mood groove

The holidays are a reminder to take inventory of all the blessings we have in our lives. Making gratitude a habit can have positive benefits to your own happiness, as well as those around you, by creating stronger bonds in your relationships, finding kindness in others and carving new “good mood grooves” into your brain. What’s more, these gratitude rituals are relatively simple to do and can be performed anywhere, at any time.

Practice these rituals with your family:

1: Amazing Grace

The dinner table is a great place to reflect and reinforce our feelings of gratitude. Before you break bread, start at one end of the table and encourage every person to share something they are thankful for in their lives.

2: Focus on the Haves

Write down three positive things you are grateful for every night, before you go to bed. Keeping a journal and a pen on the nightstand will serve as a reminder and help you establish this ritual.

3: The Write Stuff

Think of someone in your life who has made a significant positive impact and write a letter expressing how much that person means to you.

If possible, meet this person face-to-face and read the letter aloud.

4: Thankful Awareness

Try a new experience with the family and look for teachable moments, such as volunteering at a food bank or handing out gifts at a children’s hospital.

Sometimes, the best way to appreciate all of the good in our own world is to take a moment to bear witness to the situations of those who are suffering.

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ A Message from Sue Royer

About Us

“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.”
