FROM THE EDITOR Happy 2026!

This issue marks our 25th year of publishing The Grand Season in the West Valley. Back in 2001, we started as a small seasonal mailer reaching about 15,000 homes in the Sun City Grand. Today, The Grand Season is mailed monthly to more than 105,000 homes across the West Valley.

Over the years, the publication has grown in both size and reach, but one thing has never changed: our commitment to helping our readers connect with reliable, locally owned businesses that provide the services they need.

As I reflected on our past issues, I realized that many of our clients have advertised with us for more than 10 years—and some for nearly 20! Longtime partners include AAA Senior Placement AZ, Albrecht & Son, Alba Construction, Altra Home Decor, Arizona Energy Products, Bell Air Conditioning, Blinds Mart, Booth Built Patio Products, Desert Diamond Air, Desert Mesa Painting, Electronic Wizards, Interiors by Thomas, JBS Roofing, Kramer Legacy Documents, Liberty Awnings & Shades, Little Sicily, My Daddy’s Italian Bakery & Café, Palmers Kitchen and Bath, Southwest Golf Cars, Sun City Kitchen & Bath, Sun City Roofing, Tintas Granite & Flooring, Tried & True Pest and Termite Control, and Vistancia Orthodontics.

Thank you to our readers and our advertising partners for allowing The Grand Season to serve you for the past 25 years. We are grateful for your continued trust and support.

FRESH START

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.

Maya Angelou Believe you can and you’re halfway there.

Theodore Roosevelt You must do the things you think you cannot do.

Eleanor Roosevelt Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Francis of Assisi Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit. e. e. cummings Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start.

Nido Qubein Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend.

Non-being is the greatest joy.

Lao Tzu And above all things, never think that you’re not good enough yourself. A man should never think that. My belief is that in life people will take you at your own reckoning.

LOVE

STRONGER TOGETHER This time of year, it’s natural to focus inward, thinking about healthy new habits, self-improvement and professional advancement. Consider channeling part of that fired-up New Year’s spirit into your bond with your partner, too, resolving to not just spend more time together—but to do it all better, with these easy tips for improving a relationship at any age or stage.

Ask more questions.

And pay attention to the answers. Resolving to be more inquisitive helps both of you: You become more engaged (“Why was that meeting so stressful?” “How could you make that project a little more fun?”), and the give-and-take pushes you to be thoughtful about your own day, routine and work.

Talk a little less, and touch more.

Sound counterintuitive? The thing is, for couples that have a hard time communicating their emotions, a big hug can go a long way. Resolve to hold hands every time you watch TV or walk down the street or hug each other every morning or evening—or both.

16

THE GRAND SEASON • JANUARY 2026

Compliment, praise and thank more than you complain.

Try to keep feedback of all sorts balanced. Better yet, keep things more heavily weighted in the positive. It’s easy, especially as the years go by, to forget to thank your partner for the little things he’s always done. If you catch yourself doling out criticism, remind yourself to verbalize compliments and appreciation that day, as well.

Let it go!

In every committed relationship, there are things one party might like—no, love—to change. Maybe it makes you crazy that your husband leaves his water glass on the table or leaves the lights on. Let it go. To gain a little perspective, imagine what your life would be like if the water glass wasn’t there (and neither is he). When you think of it like that, those annoying little things aren’t that hard to let go.

YOU

LIVE BETTER

As you dive into 2026, try these tips to make your life more manageable.

Take the stairs.

Take 10 minutes to run up the stairs in your office or home. A study in the journal Physiology & Behavior found that tired women who climbed stairs for 10 minutes got a bigger energy boost than those who had the caffeine equivalent of a can of soda or half a cup of coffee.

Start doing yoga with your partner.

A Sunday morning couples’ class could make Sunday afternoon much more fun. Experts at Loyola’s Sexual Wellness Clinic believe partner yoga helps couples get more comfortable with each other’s bodies, a boon for better sex.

22

THE GRAND SEASON • JANUARY 2026

Delegate more chores.

Money can’t buy happiness—but it can buy time. A large study found that people who spent money on time-saving services, such getting someone to clean the garage, obtained greater life satisfaction and happiness than those who shelled out for material goods.

Explore new hobbies.

Another sleepy Sunday? Today’s the day you try Ethiopian food, attend a ballet or take a painting class — whatever feels fun.

Play upbeat music.

Research shows that blasting any happy-making tune can work multiple mind-body wonders, including reducing pain during exercise, elevating mood and lowering stress.

Go to bed on time, with your partner.

Getting sufficient sleep can make you feel ready for action. A study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that women who got more sleep had more desire the next day and an easier time becoming aroused. Every additional hour they slept increased their likelihood of having sex by 14%, so skip latenight web searches and hit the hay.

Drink up.

You know you need to hydrate—but it’s especially important when you get only six hours of sleep (or less!). You’re more likely to be dehydrated the day after a short night of sleep—because a hormone that regulates your body’s water conservation is released in later stages of sleep, so down some extra water on those days.

Want to keep your pants from creasing on the hanger? Grab an empty paper towel tube and slit it down the side. When you slip it over the bottom of the hanger, it creates a curve for the pants to lie across, and no more crease.

To prevent candle wax from sticking to a candleholder, swipe the inside with a little olive oil. It’ll do the trick!

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.”

A Service That Makes a Difference, A Name You Can Trust JANUARY 2026 • THE GRAND SEASON

“Make the most of yourself....for that is all there is of you.” Ralph Waldo Emerson

GROWTH

ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT?

Become your best self!

We’ve all made mistakes throughout our lives that haven’t exactly put us in the best light. If you want to continue to grow as a person, here are some ways to become the best version of yourself.

1. Compliment yourself.

Every morning before you go on with your daily routine, take a couple of minutes to give yourself a compliment. Whether you compliment your outfit, or how you recently completed a task using your unique skill sets, giving yourself a little emotional boost will make you happy.

2. Don’t make excuses

Blaming your spouse, boss, or clients is fruitless and won’t get you very far. Instead of pointing fingers and making excuses about why you aren’t happy or successful in your personal or professional life, own your mistakes and learn from them.

3. Let go of anger

Letting go of anger is easier said than done. While anger is a perfectly normal emotion, you can’t let it fester. When this happens, you may make unwise decisions, and more important, it may affect your health.

4. Be honest and direct

If you want to be a better person in either your personal or professional life, you should always tell the truth and state as clearly as possible what you are trying to convey. Learn to articulate your thoughts, feelings, and ideas in an open and honest manner.

Becoming a better person doesn’t happen overnight, but it is possible.

Saints preserve us!

Surely you didn’t think that after “Wicked: For Good” was released, this was the end of it?

Composer Stephen Schwartz, who got Golden Globe nominations for his two songs “No Place Like Home” and “The Girl in the Bubble,” is planning another “Oz” story, which he says isn’t a “Wicked”sequel but a story occurring within the world of “Oz.” Actor Josh Lucas (54) has had an illustrious acting career, including hit films such as “American Psycho,” “A Beautiful Mind,” “Hulk,” and most recently “Ford v Ferrari.” He stars in the upcoming crime thriller “By Any Means” with Mark Wahlberg, which opens in 2026. He’ll also star in the comingof-age-comedy “The Marshmallow Experiment” with Steve Buscemi and Johnny Knoxville.

FLASHBACK Answers from pg. 29

1. Lobo, born Kent LaVoie, in 1972. Wayne Wade released a reggae version of the song in 1991 but renamed it “I Love You Too Much.”

2. The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost. At the time it was the longest song (8 minutes 42 seconds) to ever reach the top of the U.S. charts. It kept that record for 50 years.

3. Rocky Raccoon’s girlfriend in the Beatles 1968 song.

4. ”After Midnight,” in 1970.

5. “The End of the Innocence,” by Don Henley in 1989. Although it didn’t top the Hot 100 chart (coming in at No. 8), in 1990 the song netted Grammy nominations for both Song of the Year and Record of the Year before winning the Grammy for Best Rock Vocal Performance by a male.
