I read a study that found when our goals included helping others, we are 80 percent more successful than when we focus just on changing ourselves.

The study also mentioned, that when you recruit friends and family to join you in serving others, the time spent together results in high rates of happiness, satisfaction and belonging!

ALBRECHT AND SON

I gave up making New Year’s resolutions years ago, because I got so worked up when I failed to achieve my goals. I’ve changed my approach to each New Year, and I find myself doing more of what I hoped to do and experiencing less guilt, too!

E

I can hardly believe it’s 2019! I’m always amazed how quickly time passes as I get older. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and were able to share time with those who mean the most to you!

Take the time to find what motivates you

I believe that God has put gifts and talents and ability on the inside of every one of us. When you develop that and you believe in yourself and you believe that you’re a person of influence and a person of purpose, I believe you can rise up out of any situation.

—Joel Osteen

I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose. There are no accidents; we’re all teachers—if we’re willing to pay attention to the lessons we learn, trust our positive instincts and not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door.

—Marla Gibbs

The climb might be tough and challenging, but the view is worth it. There is a purpose for that pain; you just can’t always see it right away. —Victoria Arlen

Everyone has a purpose in life and a unique talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals. —Kallam Anji Reddy

Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.

—Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

America is never wholly herself unless she is engaged in high moral principle. We as a people have such a purpose today. It is to make kinder the face of the nation and gentler the face of the world.

—George H. W. Bush

Those who improve with age embrace the power of personal growth and personal achievement and begin to replace youth with wisdom, innocence with understanding, and lack of purpose with selfactualization. —Bo Bennett

Goals give us purpose, which, in turn, motivates us to make ourselves the best version in all aspects of your life.

LIFE HACKS

These ideas make life a little easier

If you type any flight number into Google, you can see exactly where the plane is.

Eating grapes can improve your brain’s ability to process new information.

Lip biting triggers a rush of chemicals to the brain, which reduces anxiety and stress and instantly improves your mood.

Learning from your mistakes is wise. Learning from others’ mistakes is quicker and easier.

Placing your tongue on the roof of your mouth when doing sit-ups will prevent you from straining your neck.

Grab a banana for breakfast. They are known as a happy fruit. Eating just one can help relieve irritability, anger or depression.

When returning from a vacation, put your dirty shoes inside the free hotel shower caps. That way the rest of the items in your suitcase won’t get dirty.

You can get free coffee from Starbucks on your birthday.

If you toss onions in the freezer 15 minutes before you cut them, they won’t make you cry.

LOVE

TWO ARE BETTER THAN ONE Signs you’re in a healthy relationship

We all dream of being in a healthy, loving relationship but do we really know what it means to be in one?

Ponder these six key characteristics of a healthy relationship as you evaluate your current connection.

3. You don’t “play games” with each other.

In a healthy and loving relationship, there is no lying, cheating, manipulating, punishing, hiding or pretending.

You treat one another the same way you would like to be treated—with love, honesty, appreciation and respect.

4. You give each other the freedom to be yourself.

In a world where so many people try to fix, change and control the person they are in a relationship with, you and your partner give one another the gift of freedom, allowing each other to be yourself freely, openly and unapologetically.

5. You give each other SPACE. Since you understand that a happy and fulfilling relationship is built by two happy and fully functioning individuals, you give each other the necessary space, time and distance for each of you to be replenished, revived and renewed.

1. You don’t depend on your partner for your happiness.

Whether you are with your partner or away from him/her, you continue to be happy and you continue to enjoy life to the fullest. Your happiness is selfgenerated and you’re not depending on the other person to feel good.

2. You are more concerned with giving than getting.

You are both great givers, offering so much but without keeping score. You give, not because you want to receive something in return, but because you’re both overflowing with love and it feels right to share your beautiful love with the other person.

6. You acknowledge and appreciate each other.

When so many couples blame and criticize each other for the things that go wrong, you two praise and acknowledge one another constantly, honestly and openly. You focus on the good traits of the other person and not on the negative ones, praising and reinforcing the positive behavior instead of the negative one.

Arizona’s hot summers and monsoons can cause major damage to your roofs exterior and underlayment. Don’t wait until you have a leak, call Sun City Roofing to inspect your homes roof today! Winter residents should have their roof checked to help prevent costly repairs.

Your roof is one of the most important components of your home. If your roof is over 10 years old, if it has multiple layers or missing shingles or tiles, if there is physical damage, or if you have leaks it’s time to call Sun City Roofing.

REFRESH YOUR SPACE

HOME

Find inspiration in every room

As you put away your holiday decorations, it’s a perfect time to refresh your space for the new year. Perhaps changing your environment will help motivate you.

It doesn’t take a lot of money or time.

Simply try one or more of these ideas to restart and refresh your home.

Fix It We all have that “Honey Do” list, but how many of us actually do it? Repair what is broken in your home. Fix that broken towel rack, touch up that chipped paint and repair drywall cracks. If you can’t do it, call a handyman to get the job done!

Clean It Once the broken items are fixed, really clean the space.

Throw the dusty curtains in the washer. Wipe down the horizontal surfaces and throw away the clutter. Clean the floors and carpets. Wash the windows. A fresh start requires a clean slate.

Redesign Now the fun happens. Move the furniture into a new position. Rehang the art on the walls. Mix up the accessories on your shelves. No need to purchase anything. Go “shop” in other rooms in your home to add to your collections. Not inspired? Then call a professional.

Paint Paint something! There’s no need to limit yourself to your walls. Start small. Paint a picture frame or a ceramic pot. Paint a chair or door a vivid color and see how it sparks life into a room. Adding a new punch of color to a drab space can really impact an entire room.

Update the Textiles Everyone has that old chair or stained pillow in a room. Let it go! Update the textiles and perk up the fabrics. Embrace your “DIY self” and recover a chair pad, sew a pillow or a new curtain.

New fabrics can be found on sale and really change the feel of an entire room. Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns and colors. Let that new painted piece guide you to a more exciting color pallet. Refreshing that space for a fresh new take on your home in 2019 is going to feel great!

NEW YEAR

RETHINKING YOUR RESOLUTIONS

Make the most of your intentions in the new year!

What are you going to do in 2019? Do you have a list of resolutions all ready to go? Making a resolution to go to the gym every Monday, Wednesday and Friday is all well and good, and sometimes we keep those types of vows. Mostly, however, we don’t. Resolutions that we’re most likely to keep involve doing things for others.

If you’re more comfortable taking small bites, rather than committing to doing something for a whole year, try making one resolution for every month or season of the year.

Sign up to be a financial assistant to someone who needs help writing checks and managing bills. You’ll need a background check, but knowing another senior needs to get his or her bills paid will keep you on track.

22

THE GRAND SEASON • JANUARY 2019

Join a community crew that does free repairs to the homes of other seniors. Can you paint a wall? Put clear plastic on windows to keep out cold drafts?

Organize volunteers? Anything you can do will be appreciated.

Start a vegetable garden in the spring and give the bounty to the food bank. Go every few days to water and weed. Knowing that the plants need care will keep you motivated.

Volunteer over the summer to deliver books to people who can’t get out, or shelve books at the library. Be an usher or sell tickets at the theater group. Your whole community will thank you.

Be a relief delivery driver for Meals on Wheels or deliver pharmacy prescriptions. You might be the only person the recipient sees all day.

Do you see the pattern here? You’re more likely to keep your resolutions if they involve helping other people. The bonus is that doing things for others increases your own wellbeing.

YOUR MORNING ROUTINE

LIVING

Streamlining things may make all the difference!

Let’s face it, most people are so used to their morning routine, they may not even be aware of how it’s slowing them down. Here are three ways to save some valuable time every morning.

Disable Snooze Did you know that on many smartphones, it’s possible to disable the snooze button?

Transform your morning with a few swipes of the thumb and become the kind of person who gets out of bed at the scheduled hour. You’ll give yourself more time to get every task on your morning to-do list complete and be less rushed in the process.

One-Stop Breakfast If you’re like many people, you are particular about your coffee, as well as the first meal of the day.

Luckily, it’s easy to ditch the habit of picking up your morning brew at one specialty store and your breakfast at another. Save substantial time each morning by seeking out one location that specializes in both.

Prep Ahead The rush to get out the door can make anyone forgetful, even a morning person. Take a few minutes in the evening (and earn yourself a bit more shuteye) to prep your bag so you can just grab and go in the morning. Check the forecast and your calendar the night before and lay out a weather- and event-appropriate outfit head to toe, so that it’s completely ready to be worn—matching socks to their companion, pressing anything that needs it and selecting accessories.

Mornings can be tough enough, especially if you haven’t gotten a good night of sleep the night before.

With a few streamlining strategies and proactive steps that help you stick to the program, mornings can at least be more productive and efficient.

FLASHBACK ANSWERS From pg. 10

1. The Spinners. It topped the Hot Soul Singles chart. The song has been covered by a number of others, including The Rippingtons, Otis Gayle and Hall & Oates.

2. The song, written and released by Bruce Hornsby in 1986, is about social issues and civil rights. It went global and charted in the U.S., Ireland, the U.K. and others.

3. “Miami Vice.” The “Crockett” is Detective James “Sonny” Crockett, portrayed by Don Johnson from 1984 to 1990. Although not a big success in the U.S., the instrumental was a smash hit in Europe.

4. Blondie. The song reached No. 12 in the U.K., but was never released as a single in the U.S. 5. “Heart of Stone,” by Taylor Dayne in 1988. The song went to No. 2 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.

MONEY

Mental tricks to help you spend less

Save more, spend less. It sounds easy, but is harder to put into practice. Here are some mind tricks that could help keep cash in your pocket for another day.

1. Think of your savings in terms of how many “weeks of freedom” they buy.

Estimating how much money you need to live for a year and breaking it down into weeks by dividing it by 52 will give you a much more tangible, urgent goal to save toward instead of an abstractly enormous sum.

2. Don’t give things up, “savor” them instead.

Giving up something to save money, whether lunch out or cable, can make you feel deprived unless you change your attitude. Start “savoring” instead of “giving up.” Don’t feel you have to change your lifestyle; merely change the frequency of your indulgences.

3. Practice the “stranger test.”

When deciding whether or not to make a purchase, imagine a stranger offering you your would-be purchase in one hand and the cash it would take to buy it in the other. If you’d rather accept the cash, you might as well keep that money in your pocket.

$700

Up to in Discounts* on

Qualifying Equipment

One of the Highest Ranked TRANE Comfort Specialists in the Nation!

4. Spend your money where you spend your time.

If you’re on your feet a lot, invest in decent, comfortable shoes regardless of the extra cost. If you drive a long way regularly, spend money on the inside of the car and how it feels rather than how it looks.

5. Use the “urgency test” when shopping.

If you’re wavering on a purchase, ask yourself, “Would I wear this out of the dressing room right now?” If you aren’t excited enough to answer yes, don’t buy it.

6. Save all your loose change.

Make it a hard-and-fast mental rule and consolidate those unspent coins every night until you have a small pile of savings to bring to the bank.

7. Break down the monetary value of your hour.

If you make $10 an hour, then that cup of coffee isn’t just $2, it’s 12 minutes of your life. Thinking like this may help you cut down on impulse purchases.

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.”

MOMENTS IN TIME

WHAT HAPPENED IN HISTORY

Big events that occurred during the month of January

January 8, 1946 Elvis Presley’s mother took him to the Tupelo Hardware Store and bought a birthday gift that would change history: a $6.95 guitar.

Legend says Presley had really wanted a rifle or a bicycle.

January 10, 1967 President Lyndon Johnson asks for enactment of a 6 percent surcharge on personal and corporate income taxes to help support the Vietnam War. The proposal, approved by Congress in March 1967, backfired

with an American public tiring of the controversial war.

January 11, 1908 U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt declares the massive 800,000acre area of the Grand Canyon in northwestern Arizona a national monument to ensure that it would remain as it was. Congress, however, would not officially outlaw private development in the

Restorers stopped using mortar and adopted the system of interlocking blocks practiced by the original pyramid builders.

January 15, 1929 Martin Luther King Jr. is born in Atlanta, Georgia, the son of a Baptist minister. King received a doctorate degree in theology and in 1955 helped organize the first major protest of the African-American civil rights movement: the successful Montgomery Bus Boycott.

January 20, 1981 Within just minutes after Ronald Reagan’s inauguration as the 40th president of the United States, the 52 U.S. captives held at the U.S. embassy in Teheran, Iran, are released, ending the 444-day Iran Hostage Crisis.

January 24, 1935 Canned beer debuts.

that you missed jury duty and can post your bail with a gift card instead of being arrested. Or that you can get certain medical supplies that Medicare won’t pay for. Or that you have a computer bug and they can fix it for you. There’s no end to the scenarios these thieves can think up.

GIFT CARD SCAMS

SENIOR SCAMS

A new trend is making victims of many seniors

Even if you fall for the scam, once might not be enough. Once they know how to manipulate you, they’ll come back again and again.

If you get calls from people claiming to be from the utility company or an alleged family member, or even the Internal Revenue Service, and they try to scare you into making immediate payment, it’s a scam.

One way to tell is if they insist you pay with gift cards. This is a theft problem that has increased 270 percent since 2015. It can be tempting—especially if you’re told you’ve won something and only need to send a gift card to cover postage. You might be told

A note of warning: If you’re in a store buying a gift card and the clerk tells you it might be a scam, listen.

They see this all the time and they’re trying to help you. There are at least seven different gift card scams out there right now. To learn more, visit ftc.gov/giftcards.

CUSTOM DRAPES COUCH THEATER Now on DVD/Blu-Ray! The Equalizer 2 (R) Retired CIA agent Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) returns to dole out justice when his old friend Susan Plummer (Melissa Leo) is killed. It’s an actionpacked film that provides equal parts entertainment and escapism.

Smallfoot (PG) Channing Tatum voices Migo, a Yeti trying to catch the eye of the village leader’s daughter Meechee (Zendaya).

When he accidentally discovers a Smallfoot (James Corden) and brings him back to his Yeti village as proof, he finds out that there’s more to human-Yeti relations than he imagined. Despite its frozen setting, this light tale will have you feeling all warm and fuzzy.
