EDITOR’S

NOTE

October is such an amazing month in Arizona! You can feel the election year buzz in the air, with the political climate growing more tense by the day.

contact the Election Services Division at the Secretary of State’s Office at elections@azsos.gov or call 1-877-THE-VOTE.

This year’s election may be “the most important in our lifetime.” I know that’s a tired cliché parroted by presidents and politicians every two years, but clichés become clichés for a reason—they tend to be true. This year’s presidential contest represents perhaps the starkest contrast between two competing visions for the nation’s future since the elections of 1860.

Thank you for your support of The Grand Season Family, and for all of the businesses who help make our publication possible.

October’s issue of The Grand Season Family focuses on respect. I don’t know about you, but as our country becomes more divided, it seems like we have lost the ability to love and respect those who may believe differently than we do.

With the election less than a month away, I hope you have registered to vote. Don’t forget your voice counts! If you’re unable to vote in person,

Stand up! Speak up! Vote.

LOVE

BUILDING BLOCKS Respect is essential for life-long love.

Mutual respect in a marriage is important because it is a sign of trust, support, and the knowledge that both of you love and appreciate the other for who they are.

Every successful marriage is based on the foundation of mutual respect for one another.

A relationship in which respect is absent will eventually lead to conflicts between a couple.

If you’re looking for specific ways to show respect for your spouse, check out these ideas:

concerns.

22.

Show that you notice your spouse’s needs, desires, and concerns by acting on what you discover about your spouse.

33.

When your spouse is direct with requests, respond to what he or she asks for and act on those requests in a timely fashion. Leave no room for procrastination; really show up.

4.

4 Speak words of acknowledgment, appreciation, and

gratitude not only for what your spouse does, but for who your spouse is.

7.

7 8.

8

When using humor to lighten up your relationship, be careful to only playfully tease, and not to wound with sharp barbs.

Only make comparisons to others for the purpose of calling attention to your partner’s strengths and talents.

Replace cutting sarcasm with gentle language.

Speak directly to your partner, rather than sharing your complaints with others.

9.

9 Support your spouse’s choices whenever you can.

10.

10 Acknowledge how much your spouse contributes to you and your family on an emotional level.

11 When you make a mistake, apologize as soon as possible.

11.

12. Take responsibility for the ways you hurt your spouse. Learn

12

from your failures, so you don’t continue to harm your relationship.

13.

13 Be quick to offer forgiveness when your spouse makes poor choices.

14.

14 Remind your spouse that you are proud of her or him.

15.

15 Declare your respect for your partner in front of others.

KIDS

STICKS & STONES Teach your kids to be mentally strong

Developing mental strength is an important skill kids need to learn in order to thrive in adulthood.

Unfortunately, building mental strength is a skill that can only be learned by living life. As you spend time with your child, talk about strategies to become mentally stronger, and make a conscious effort to turn mistakes and problems into teachable moments.

You may be thinking, “How do I teach my kids how to be mentally strong?” The following tips are a great start:

1. Make it a family priority to take care of your mind.

Most parents talk to kids about the importance of caring for their bodies.

But few parents talk about the importance of caring for their minds.

2. Talk about feelings.

Studies show 60 percent of college students say they were prepared academically, but not emotionally for college. The vast majority of these young adults say they wished their parents had invested more time in teaching them how to deal with uncomfortable feelings.

Incorporate feeling words into your conversations. Help your children identify how they’re feeling. Talk about how those emotions can affect their decisions and teach them to manage their emotions in a healthy way.

3. Teach your child to think realistically.

When your child expresses self-doubt, excessive self-blame, catastrophic predictions, or exaggeratedly negative thoughts, teach him how to think differently. Show him how to recognize unhelpful thoughts and reframe them in a more realistic way.

4. Role model how to take positive action.

Kids need to know that they can behave contrary to their feelings. In fact, their behavior can change their feelings.

If your child has had a bad day at school, she can choose to do something when she gets home that will help her feel better.

5. Actively engage in problem-solving.

It can be tempting to swoop in and solve kids’ problems for them. But they need opportunities to practice building problem-solving skills. Resist the urge to bail your child out when he encounters a problem.

Instead, encourage him to develop his own solution. Let him make mistakes sometimes.

Natural consequences can be some of life’s greatest teachers.

VOTE

JUST DO IT!

Land of the Free

This year’s election goes beyond who will be president. Your vote is your voice on issues affecting housing, education, employment and healthcare. Here are just a few reasons why you should get registered and vote:

1. Elections have consequences.

You have the power to decide on the quality of life you want for yourself and future generations.

Voting is your chance to stand up for the issues you care about like public transportation, raising minimum wage, or funding local schools. This is your life: take the time to help decide what’s best.

2. Not voting is giving up your voice.

GARAGE DOO PROBLEMS R FIXED TODA Y!

Elections are decided by the people who go out and vote. Take some time and learn about the measures and the candidates. If you don’t vote, someone else will make the decision for you. Your power is in your vote.

3. It’s your money.

You pay taxes, but do you know how that money is being used?

Most people don’t. Voting is your chance to choose how your tax dollars are spent – such as funding for health care and social services.

● ● ● ●

4. Voting is an opportunity for change.

Do you want to make a positive impact? Voting gives you that chance! Support the candidates and ballot measures that can help your community, state, and even the nation for the greater good.

Make your voice heard in these elections.

5. The community depends on you!

Our communities are made up of friends, loved ones, neighbors, and children. Some may not know how important voting is, while others don’t have the privilege.

Make the decision to vote for yourself and those around you.

TIPS

HERE’S A TIP

Cooking a recipe with garlic and onions to start?

Invite me to dinner!

Remember to let the onions cook to nearly translucent before adding the garlic, which cooks much faster. If you put both in at the same time, the garlic will burn before the onions have a chance to deepen their flavor.

GROWTH

BE BETTER

Cultivate stronger relationships

Respect is an important attribute for any relationship to be successful, but what is respect, exactly? How do you show respect for others? Here are some ways you can show respect for those in your life.

LISTEN

Listening to what another person has to say is a basic way to respect them. Everyone wants to have their say.

Everyone wants to feel that they’re being listened to.

Whether they have something profound to say is not the point. People want to be heard. When you give another person your time and your focus and your ear, you validate them. Which conveys respect.

AFFIRM

When you affirm someone, you’re giving evidence that they matter. That they have value. That they’re important.

And that they’re worthy of respect.

BE KIND

Kindness is an expression of respect. Respect for the fact that someone else is simply in need. We have all been in need. And what a relief it was when someone showed you kindness. Kindness is a tangible way of showing respect.

BE POLITE

It’s difficult to witness the decline of politeness in the modern world. Whether it’s on the highway, at the grocery store, in the parking lot, on the athletic field, on Facebook, or in political rhetoric – polite discourse and interaction is rapidly becoming a lost art. Yet, it’s so easy to be polite. An act of politeness can literally change a person’s day.

BE THANKFUL

When someone does something for you that’s beneficial. Or they say something to you that’s helpful in some way. Or they honestly affirm you in some way that’s important to you. You should thank them.

It’s not so much that they need to be thanked.

It’s that people want to feel that what they’ve done has made a difference. When there is no thankfulness for something we’ve done, or even for who we are, we feel a lack of respect.

STOCK UP NOW! The most popular candy in 2020

Every year, Americans spend billions of dollars on Halloween candy—$8.8 billion in 2019, according to The National Retail Federation. And while traditional trick-or-treating will look different this year, due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the NRF predicts that consumers will actually be spending more this year on candy, decor, and greeting cards as a way to make the holiday at home extra special.

That means Halloween shoppers will be stocking up on classics more than ever before. To help you decide which goodies to add to your next grocery store pickup, CandyStore.com put together a list of the most popular Halloween candy in the western United States.

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.”

Jackie M. Top notch company!! From the beginning to the end it was a flawless experience. Great customer service. Mike and Chad were nothing but professional.

We are ABSOLUTELY happy with the end result. We would highly recommend Patio Partners for your patio cover company.

We had Patio Partners install an above window lattice and a courtyard awning.

We are extremely pleased with both.

This is the SECOND time we have used them and couldn’t be happier. Chad and Mike were complete professionals.
