EDITOR

NOTE

FROM THE EDITOR November is full of reminders to count our blessings, and numerous opportunities to reconnect with loved ones. As a parent, I have tried to make it my goal to remind my young men about the importance of counting our blessings daily, since we never know what tomorrow will bring.

Recently our family experienced the loss of a sweet friend due to a senseless act of violence. Upon hearing the news, I was paralyzed by shock and sadness. Despite my response, my kids gave me a wonderful gift—rather than asking hard questions and trying to make sense of the violence, they began sharing their favorite memories of our friend, reminding me of how she lived a life full of love and gratitude.

This month I want to encourage you to do the same. Don’t wait to tell your family, friends and

Contents

neighbors how much you love and appreciate them. Tell them today!

Live boldly, and be the person you wish others would be.

During this season of Thanksgiving, I hope your family will have the opportunity to reach out to those who are less fortunate, and comfort those fighting a battle you can’t begin to understand. Your acts of kindness will change someone’s life forever!

Thank you for your support of The Grand Season Family magazine, we truly appreciate you and the continued support you provide our local advertisers.

Happy Thanksgiving!

SIMPLE ACTS CHANGE LIVES

SPEAK LIFE

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.

Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.

Brian Tracy

Unknown

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for.

Zig Zigler

John F. Kennedy

I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness - it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude.

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.

Albert Schweitzer

YOU

MAINTAIN YOUR SANITY

Get in the spirit without losing your mind.

The holidays can be both stressful and joyful, bundled into one emotionally charged season.

Rodrigo Araujo, Ph.D., senior data scientist at Plasticity Labs, analyzed workplace stress and seasonality. He identified fall (October to December, including the winter holidays) as the unhappiest time of the year for people. One of the biggest impacts on our stress (and happiness) is an increasingly busy and everfluctuating schedule. This causes an out-of-control feeling that can make our brains uncomfortable.

The best way to combat this seasonal stress is to practice an attitude of gratitude. Here are some ways to keep your schedule from stressing you out.

12 The Grand Season family

1 Make it a team effort.

Are you stressing to get everything accomplished for the holidays?

Check off your to-do list with friends.

2 Give experiences, not stuff.

4 Say no

We often feel obliged to say yes to every holiday invite. It’s tough to turn down invites from friends and colleagues, however, stress stems from being overextended. Saying “no” will help you prioritize your time and your mind.

5 Save a vacation day

Instead of shopping for stuff, give your loved one the gift of your time by creating experiences you can enjoy together.

Take a day off just for you before the chaos of the holidays begin. You might be surprised how this one day can enhance your mental health as you celebrate with your friends and family.

3 Be authentic

6 Volunteer

Host holiday events that resonate.

Don’t kill yourself to create events that will impress others, but rather create opportunities to connect with others.

November 2017

Schedule a time for your family and friends to help those who are less fortunate. You might volunteer at a soup kitchen, or perhaps give a family in a need a holiday they’ll never forget.

FOOD

COOK & COMMUNICATE Bring the family together at the dinner table

If you are like most families, the stress of having kids and maintaining hectic schedules, can heat up the happiest of households in no time—especially when it comes to trying to decide what to have for dinner.

Get the whole household involved.

Do a taste test.

However, with a little planning and some cooperation, even the busiest family can find time to sit down and enjoy a meal together. The following tips will give you an idea of how you can streamline the dinner process and maxmize family time:

Schedule a mock cooking class.

If you want to get family members involved, make time on a weekend for a prepping and cooking session, where everyone can share knife skills, recipes, and other culinary lessons.

Strive for leftovers.

Not only on chores like washing and drying dishes, but on tasting and choosing the menus.

Let’s face it, every family has that one member who’s finicky. To combat that, have them weigh in for taste tests. This way, you can plan to cook that dish in bulk.

Whoever is cooking can make extra of anything that’s a hit with family members and store leftovers in the fridge or freezer. Two roasted chickens (instead of one) are great for hot or cold sandwiches, soup, salad, and great filler for fajitas or burritos.

You can find great recipes online that will make even the pickiest of eaters happy.

HEALTH

BOOST YOUR MOOD Happiness can improve your health

If you want to beat the flu this season, a good mood may be your best ally. Being depressed or anxious has long been linked to a suppressed immune system, but recent research shows that a positive mood can have a positive effect on your health.

A study by the University of Nottingham found that participants who were in a good mood when they got their flu shots were more protected from the virus than those who were in a neutral or bad mood. Even after taking into account all other variables, the predominant factor in the flu shots’ effectiveness came back to the positive moods. Those who were in a good mood (even while being stabbed in the arm with a needle) showed a higher level of antibodies.

This supports a growing body of evidence about how our emotions and the immune system work together. Although scientists are still trying to figure out just how the mental state triggers physical well-being or disease, the evidence is clear that it does.

So, whether you’re getting a flu shot or just want to stay healthy this year—think of your happy place and make the most of each day. Also, try to:

16

The Grand Season family

Smile

Smiling triggers the brain to release feel-good neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and endorphins, sending messages to the rest of your body to help you relax while slowing your heart rate and lowering your blood pressure.

Be bored

Boredom is scientifically characterized as “an unengaged mind,”. Research shows that boredom can be used as a sign to reboot our mind. It lets us know that we’re stuck on autopilot instead of using our natural curiosity to explore our environment.

Instead of diverting your attention from boredom, practice mindfulness. Whether that means meditating or simply becoming aware of your surroundings and trying to experience them in a different way, boredom can be used to “check in” with yourself to find out what’s going on in your mind and with your body. Or, at the very least, use it to take a breath and be grateful for peace and quiet.

TRADITIONS

SAVOR MEMORIES Remember those things that count Thanksgiving is a chance for families to gather together, to feast and to enjoy being with one another. But the day can also be a meaningful time to reflect on our blessings and remember those who have impacted our lives.

Many families have special traditions they use to show gratitude to their friends, family and faith.

We asked readers to share a cherished tradition that has helped their family experience real gratitude amid the food and fellowship of the holiday.

The Grand Season family

Breakfast Club

Tree of Thanks

For our family, Thanksgiving Day begins early, with our family gathered around a card table in the living room to share a special, once-a-year breakfast. Between bites of poppy seed cake and sips of eggnog, we record the year’s blessings on notebook paper: landing a new job, reconnecting with old friends, finding a great sale on kids’ shoes, earning an A in Spanish.

No item is too small for the list.

In my family, sentiments are usually kept to oneself, so I knew my siblings and their spouses wouldn’t be comfortable participating in traditions where vocal expressions of gratitude were required. So, I pulled out a craft project I had done with my kids.

November 2017

I made a tree from brown construction paper and taped it to the wall. Then I made

www.grandseasonfamily.com

leaves out of red, yellow and orange paper. I handed out the leaves to my family, asking them to write something they were thankful for on each leaf. I told them they didn’t need to put their name on the leaves. The kids were enthusiastic. While the adults were reluctant at first, once they read the leaves, they all wrote down at least one thankful thought. I was surprised to see some leaves with detailed, heartfelt lists, and a few relatives filled more than one leaf!

DAY & NIGHT

Tablecloth Memory One year, I brought a tablecloth and a package of fabric pens. I asked our family and guests to write something on the tablecloth they were thankful for. Everyone took turns writing short notes on the cloth, and we continue the tradition every year. When Thanksgiving Day arrives, our guests smile and laugh as they read through the memories, while the children search to find their handprints, thrilled to see how much they’ve grown.

UPDATE & AUTOMATE Hot trends for your home

Home safety is one of the top priorities of homeowners and renters alike. Your home should be a place to relax, play and enjoy spending time with family and friends.

Here are a few of the latest trends in home security so that you can make yours a home sweet home that’s equally safe.

Video monitoring

Having a good indoor security camera is now the cornerstone of any home security system.

This allows homeowners to watch live video footage of their home from their smartphone anytime, anywhere. It also takes the stress away when leaving pets at home for any amount of time. Owners can monitor and speak to their animals while they are away. This trend is convenient, offers peace of mind and may deter burglars.

November 2017

Geofencing You can think of geofencing like an invisible fence serving as a virtual perimeter. With it, homeowners can draw around any location on a map and trigger actions from their smartphone when they enter that location through an app.

A great example would be an electronic notification sent to Mom’s or Dad’s cell phone when their child arrives home from school, triggered by the child’s cell phone.

GROWTH

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

Connect with those you love as you give thanks this season.

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.

even prolong that feeling for weeks and months the more you practice. To beat the negativity bias, gratitude opens up your brain to attract positivity like bees to honey.

During this season of celebration, try some of these ideas with your family:

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-toface and read the letter aloud. Notice the person’s reaction and savor those moments to recall in the future.

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

Focus on what you have Write down three positive things you are grateful for every night before you go to bed. Research shows that gratitude journaling can put you in a dramatically better mood and

Teachable moments 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. Gratitude in the face of adversity can help us weather the storms, provide a greater perspective to the plight of others and strengthen social bonds. www.grandseasonfamily.com

tips to make any cruise smoother sailing

When it comes to a dream cruise, everyone has their own idea of the ideal vacation. The beautiful ocean waves breaking against the bow beneath you, the warm breeze blowing against your hair and the lure of new, unexplored destinations off in the distance.

Consider these tips as you plan your cruise:

price, why wouldn’t you? Deals are not hard to come by in the cruise industry and the key is to book early. Do your research, look for package offers and book your trip as soon as you can.

Pick the right cruise line.

Your dream cruise rests on the right ship, so don’t leave this choice to chance. MSC Seaside is a sun-lover’s paradise with plenty of outdoor space to take in the Caribbean sunshine and stunning views, thanks to its unique outdoor, ocean level promenade.

While the cruise itself is enjoyable, it’s the activities you take part in while on the ship that truly make your vacation unforgettable. Look for a cruise that offers activities for your entire family.

Arrive early.

Weeks and months of planning using the tips above could be all for naught if you don’t heed this last piece of advice. After all, flights can be delayed or cars can break down and if such a thing should happen to you, planning a little extra time into your schedule ensures that when the ship does leave, you’re on it, no matter what happened on the road to get there.

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.”

KIDS

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:

de jar

Make a gratitu

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

Take a tech fast

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

Conversation and bonding at the dinner table can easily give way to scrolling through your Facebook feed 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.

Compared to chain stores, locally-owned businesses recycle a much larger share of their revenue back in to the local economy.

MAKE AN IMPRESSION Simple advice for issues in life

Stumped on a project or presentation? Try ditching the computer and writing by hand. The experience has been proven to help creativity.

If you lose something, take a picture of your room, put it on Facebook or Instagram, and have your friends play “I Spy.” Don’t let yourself be controlled by three things: people, money or past experiences.

CERTIFIED TREE HEALTH SPECIALIST

ORFVICFE 10ANY% ONE SEETAILS RD CALL FO

Try to spend more money on experiences and less on things. You’ll thank yourself later on in life.

If you buy unnecessary things that are on sale, you’re not saving money; you’re still spending it.

Stuffy nose? Leave a sliced onion near where you sleep and let it sit for the night.

Your nose will be clear by the time you wake up.

The scent of a banana contains a compound that may actually help you lose weight.

You can “rewire” your brain to be happy by simply recalling three things you’re grateful for every day for 21 days.

TREE TRIMMING

LAWN MAINTENANCE

Bake cookies in a muffin tin.

They’ll stay soft and fluffy, and won’t spread out as they normally would.

Storing batteries in the freezer can double their lifespan.

Put a sticker with a fake PIN number on your debit card.

That way, if you lose it and someone tries to use it more than three times, the machine will eat the card.

As soon as you have a brain freeze, push your tongue against the roof of your mouth. It will relieve the pain instantly.

Take advantage of power outages. It’s the best possible time to get a good look at the night sky.
