NOTE

Sometimes I want it to stop—the talk of COVID, protest, looting, brutality, and defunding the police. It’s overwhelming and I feel like the country I love has lost its grounding, and this “new normal” isn’t normal at all. But then, I read excerpts like this on social media, from an unknown source, about an interaction with an 87-year-old.

Yum 21

“I met a man who talks of living through polio, diphtheria, Vietnam protests and yet is still enchanted with life. He seemed surprised when I said 2020 must be challenging for him. ‘No,’ he said slowly looking me straight in the eyes, ‘I learned a long time ago to not see the world through the printed headlines, I see the world through the people that surround me. I see the world with the realization that we love big. Therefore, I just choose to write my own positive headlines.’”

Civics 22

If you’re feeling over-whelmed, perhaps it’s time to turn off the news, and create your own headlines with those you love. It sounds like a great plan to me!

BEND, DON’T BREAK

You can handle whatever life throws at you.

I think it’s a good trait to have to be versatile, to be adaptable, and be dependable, and that’s one of the things that has enabled me to have the long career that I’ve had. It’s definitely not because I’m good looking!

Big Show

Adaptability is a great asset to have because life is so unpredictable, and things can change overnight for any of us.

Chanda Kochhar

The key thing is knowing how to adapt.

Adapting to the group that you have at your disposal; adapting to the place where you’re working; adapting to the local environment.

This is crucial: adaptability.

Didier Deschamps

Adaptability and constant innovation is key to the survival of any company operating in a competitive market.

Shiv Nadar

Tactics, fitness, stroke ability, adaptability, experience, and sportsmanship are all necessary for winning.

Fred Perry No matter what twists and turns your life offers you, your ability to be adaptable and flexible will help you to stay open to all of the hidden gifts that difficulty may offer.

Mandy Ingber

Very quickly, kids take your plan and say, ‘Ha!’ so you have to learn to be adaptable, or you will be literally miserable.

Busy Philipps

I do believe we’re all adaptable, and you’re probably more adaptable than you realize.

Julia Leigh

Individuals, too, who cultivate a variety of skills seem brighter, more energetic and more adaptable than those who know how to do one thing only.

Tips for families doing school at home

Home with the kids for the near future? We’re here to guide you through this challenge, so your entire family can be prepared to be productive.

Follow these tips to start school this Fall on the right foot!

1. SET UP A DAILY SCHEDULE To help everyone deal with the process of adjusting to the disruption and change, it can be comforting and productive to keep regular hours for school, shared meals, and other activities.

• Let kids help in the planning.

• Decide together on how you want the schedule to look.

• Talk in detail about how things will work, to see if anyone has questions or suggestions.

• Try to listen to each child’s concerns and be open-minded about creative solutions to any issues.

• Each day, let the kids decide on the order in which they want to do their assignments.

• Be sure to include play time, alone time, and outside time.

2. CREATE A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT Every child (just like every adult) learns differently, each in their own way.

Some kids perform well in one environment, while other kids excel in a completely different environment. So, think carefully about this concept as you create a workspace for each student in your home.

• Help kids to create their own space for working, whether that’s in their favorite living room chair, on their bed in the privacy of their room, or sitting at the kitchen table.

• You may even set up several work-stations and encourage students to use different spots for different subjects.

3. RELAX! TAKE A BREAK Downtime does wonders. Students get plenty of downtime throughout any normal school day. So, remember to allow moments of downtime and encourage occasional relaxation. Sometimes in the middle of a difficult lesson or challenging assignment, a quick break can be just what you and your kids need. Get outside if you can and use nature to teach; the fresh air is healthy for mind, body, and spirit.

4. HAVE A BLAST Anything can be an opportunity to learn. While you’re at home with your kids, take the opportunity to have fun learning. Every experience can be a lesson if you want it to be.

• Do vocabulary practice in chalk out on the sidewalk or driveway.

• If you’re able to be outdoors for a few minutes, turn a neighborhood walk into a science field trip.

• If you’re having groceries delivered to the house, pull out the receipt and go through the items as a math class.

The key to success is to remain positive and flexible. We don’t know what tomorrow will bring, however, being prepared will help your entire family thrive during uncertain times.

LOVE

WORDS OF WISDOM Advice that makes a difference.

If you’re like most couples, the last several months of being at home has probably placed a strain on your marriage. Experts say, the best thing you can do in times of uncertainty, is communicate clearly and take time for self-care. We’ve compiled some advice that may help your relationship emerge from this season of life stronger than ever.

1. Remember Your Commitment

Life finds a way to burden partners with a lot of different obstacles. The busy and unpredictable nature of it all can obscure a very important fact: Partners are in this together. You both signed up to ride together during whatever comes your way. And the foundation you’ve built along the way, needs to always be top of mind—and sustained.

2. Assume the Best of One Another

Whatever happens, it’s important to understand your partner probably means the best. Even if they piss you off, their intentions were likely pure. Remember “your best” doesn’t mean perfection – it means you’re giving the situation everything you can, at that moment in time.

3. Communicate Respectfully

Good communication is the backbone of any relationship. No, you don’t have to act like that special breed of weirdo couples who never ever argue or get on one another’s nerves. Rather, couples need to argue and attack the issues at

10

The Grand Season family

August 2020

hand without getting defensive, digging up the past and throwing it in the other’s face, dismissing a partner’s experience, or any other caustic habits.

Communicating clearly with respect is imperative to sustain lasting love.

4. Always Be Flexible

Unexpected events, expenses, and situations come up in relationships. If we are too rigid, we resist facing the unexpected. A couple’s ability to ‘go with the flow’ – especially when it’s dramatically different from what they expected – gives them the opportunity to learn new skills and, more importantly, get to know each other in ways they might never have known before.

5. Curiosity Saves Couples

There’s no way around it: Growth as a couple or an individual requires curiosity. Being curious together can result in tremendous learning experiences that strengthen your relationship.

6. Be Willing to Grow and Learn

Spoiler alert: Everyone screws up, says dumb things, gets stuff wrong. It’s all about how people react that defines a relationship. The willingness to admit mistakes, and apologize sincerely, is an important key in creating a deeper bond with your partner. www.grandseasonfamily.com

FUN

EMBRACE THE HEAT Fun ways to entertain your family in the blazing heat.

Welcome to August in Phoenix. It’s hot and getting hotter. If you’ve been here for more than five minutes, you know that! But summer, in Phoenix has its upside.

The winter visitors are gone, and so many residents have gone on vacation that doing almost anything fun is easier. Rush hour is shorter, restaurants and clubs are less crowded.

So, in the spirit of summer fun, we have compiled a list of fun things to do in Phoenix. (Due to COVID-19, do your research before heading out to learn about hours and social distancing requirements.)

Head below ground

Just outside Benson is Kartchner Caverns State Park, where you can explore beautiful living caves.

You’ll see burly stalactites, delicate soda-straw formations and tiny corners of multicolored rock.

About 9 miles south of Benson, off State Route 90. azstateparks.com/kartchner.

Take a night hike or bike ride

Maricopa County Parks throughout the Phoenix metro area offer after-dark mountain-bike rides, scorpion hunts and other family-friendly outings. It’s something different, you’re getting exercise and it’s cooler. See a schedule at maricopacountyparks. net.

Add mint to your drink

There’s a reason mint tea is popular in desert countries like Morocco and Egypt. The herb creates a cooling sensation. It also helps eliminate toxins from the body, calms the stomach and boosts energy. Muddle mint with ice, then add water or iced tea for a refreshing summer drink.

Go rock climbing indoors

Test your strength, balance and dexterity at an indoor rock climbing gym, where admission and equipment rental is usually less than $30 and includes gear.

Have a water-balloon fight

Give yourself a strategic advantage by purchasing a water-balloon pump, which fills the balloons quickly. They’re $10 to $15 at mass retailers and party-supply stores. Most come with balloons.

Score a staycation bargain

Room rates plunge when temperatures soar, so this is the time of year to treat yourself to a staycation at a swanky Phoenix or Scottsdale resort. Lounge by the pool, enjoy a city or mountain view and cool off in someone else’s A/C.

Head to a lake

Whether it’s fishing at Lake Pleasant or water skiing on Canyon Lake near Apache Junction, there are plenty of recreational water activities at the state’s many lakes and reservoirs. And they’re a lot closer than driving to the beach.

Hit the water Drive through Bearizona at Tempe Town Witness North American wildlife in a natural environment from the safety of your vehicle on Lake this drive-through adventure. It’s best to visit early

If you want to cool off and learn a new skill this summer, sign up for one of the many classes offered at Tempe Town Lake.

Details: Class schedules are at tempe.gov.

in the morning or late in the afternoon when the bison, bighorn sheep, goats, wolves and bear cubs are moving around.

Set up a Slip ‘n’ Slide

Return to your childhood roots and turn your backyard into a low-cost water park — provided you have a patch of grass and not just desert landscaping. Slip ‘n’ Slide has an array of products, well beyond the single yellow strip most of us recall. Find them at big-box stores and online.

Crank the AC and watch a winter movie

Pop some corn, grab a blanket and feast your eyes on wintry landscapes and snow-capped mountains.

Might we suggest Russell Crowe’s hockey comedy “Mystery, Alaska.”

If you go to a yard sale and an item catches your eye, don’t be afraid to haggle.

If the owner can’t agree to your price, give him your name and phone number. If it doesn’t sell, he might be ready to accept a lower price.

Make-up bags make the perfect place to stash extra cords and accessories for your computer or other devices.

Put them in a basket and all your tech will stay orderly.

Roll scarves around cardboard tubes to store flat.

You’ll skip the wrinkles and be able to find the scarf you want without much fuss.

You can use dishwasher detergent to clean your bathtub. Fill the tub with very hot water, put a cup of detergent into the water and stir it to dissolve the powder.

After letting it sit, use a scrub brush to lightly lift away the soapy grime.

TIPS FOR CHOOSING A PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR

Who knows you best? Your spouse?

Son or daughter? Best friend? If your primary care doctor doesn’t make the list, you could be missing out on one of the most important relationships when it comes to your health and well-being.

Here are 5 tips on how to choose the right primary care doctor for you.

1. Ask around.

The first step to finding a great doctor: Talk to your family and friends about their great doctors. A recommendation from someone you trust is a great way to identify a highly skilled, helpful physician.

2. Map it out.

Since you’ll be visiting your primary care doctor for everyday health needs, it’s important that he or she be located somewhere convenient to you. You won’t want to travel very far when you’re not feeling good.

3. Make sure you’ve got coverage.

Once you’ve identified some possible candidates, check whether they work with your health plan.

4. Place a cold call.

Call a potential doctor’s office for a first impression of the practice.

5. Keep your needs in mind.

Every person has unique health needs, and those needs change as people age. Ask your doctor about his or her specialties or areas of interest.

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.”
