For many, the holidays, are celebrated with football, food, friends, family and faith. For other’s this season is a difficult reminder of loss and loneliness. My hope is as you’re preparing for your holiday gatherings, you won’t forget to keep an eye out for those who might need an extra dose of encouragement, or an invitation to celebrate with your family and friends.

This is my favorite time of the year! I’ll admit, I may be one of the few who loves putting up decorations, purchasing gifts, planning meals and attending parties with those I love. It’s such a special time of year, because it’s when we focus the most on loving and giving to those who make our lives so special.

INSPIRE

GIVE JOY

The more generous we are, the more joyous we become. The more cooperative we are, the more valuable we become. The more enthusiastic we are, the more productive we become. The more serving we are, the more prosperous we become.

William Arthur Ward

Be generous to the poor orphans and those in need. The man to whom our Lord has been liberal ought not to be stingy. We shall one day find in Heaven as much rest and joy as we ourselves have dispensed in Saint Ignatius this life.

The return we reap from generous actions is Francesco Guicciardini not always evident.

THE GRAND SEASON • DECEMBER 2023

Love is the most terrible, and also the most generous of the passions; it is the only one which includes in its dreams the happiness of someone else. Alphonse Karr We must give more in order to get more.

It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest.

Orison Swett Marden

Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone else’s life forever.

Margaret Cho

We should be inspired by people... who show that human beings can be kind, brave, generous, beautiful, strong-even in the most difficult circumstances.

Rachel Corrie

Lose yourself in generous service and every day can be a most unusual day, a triumphant day, an abundantly William Arthur Ward rewarding day!

Hummingbirds are the only birds that can fly backward. In fact, they’re so impressive in the air that they’ve been referred to as the “flying ninja.”

FACTS

Want to feel safer while driving?

White cars are considered the safest color because they typically stand out against black roads. Statistics have also shown that they’re 12% less likely to be involved in an accident than black cars.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

Until it actually blows against something, wind makes no sound.

If you ever visit China, don’t hug a tree!

The act was forbidden after a mass tree hugging occurred outside of China’s imperial garden and the Chinese government speculated that the huggers were part of a suspicious cult.

Gold will never erode because it is chemically inert, meaning it doesn’t react to oxygen in the atmosphere.

During the 12th century, tennis was first played in France, but without rackets.

Instead, players used the palms of their hands to lob the ball back to their opponents.

LOVE

THE GREATEST GIFT

It’s that time of the season when the pressure is on to buy the perfect gift for your better half.

If you’re like many couples, you probably have bought yourself a gift, and handed it to your spouse to wrap for Christmas.

This year, rather than wrapping up something to collect dust, consider learning to speak a new language—your partner’s love language.

Dr. Gary Chapman, best-selling author, counselor and speaker, realized his clients were trying all the “right” ways to show their partner love—but they were speaking the wrong language.

The 5 Love Languages theorizes people tend to give love in the way they prefer to receive love.

By understanding our partners’ inherent love language, we can express our love to our partners more effectively—visit 5lovelangueages.com to learn more.

18

THE GRAND SEASON • DECEMBER 2023

1. Words of affirmation

This language uses words to affirm other people. For those who prefer the words of affirmation language, hearing “I love you” and other compliments are what they value the most. Words hold real value within this language.

2. Quality time

This language is about giving the other person your undivided attention.

Distractions, postponed dates, or the failure to listen can be especially hurtful to these individuals. Being there for them is crucial.

3. Receiving gifts

Dr. Chapman says for some people, what makes them feel most loved is to receive a tangible gift. This doesn’t necessarily mean the person is materialistic, but a meaningful or thoughtful present makes them feel appreciated.

4. Acts of service

For these people, actions speak louder than words—lending a helping hand shows you really care. People who thrive on this language have very little tolerance for people who make more work for them.

5. Physical touch

To this person, nothing speaks more deeply than appropriate touch.

That doesn’t mean only in the bedroom—everyday physical connections, like handholding, kissing, or any type of re-affirming physical contact is greatly appreciated.

According to Chapman, even though we tend to favor one language more than the others, we still enjoy traits of the others as well.

GIVE

LIGHT A SPARK This is one of my favorite times of the year because it is a season of giving. Everyone seems to be a little more generous and charitable around Christmas.

Although the spirit of giving can abound this time of year, the spirit of “me-ism” can quickly sneak in if we’re not careful. Below you will find some relatively simple ways your family can serve together (regardless of age) this holiday season. Many of these activities require little to no money. Try one, two, or even all of them.

1. Deliver cookies to the employees at a fire station, police station, or hospital on Christmas Day. 2. Choose a child’s name off of a giving tree and pick out the gift together as a family.

3. Recruit several families and adopt a nursing home. Buy a simple gift for each resident (lotion, slippers, holiday throw blankets, etc.) and arrange a time to deliver the gifts.

4. Send Christmas cards to military personnel overseas.

5. Deliver a baked good to your neighbors.

6. Leave a Christmas card (and perhaps a little treat) in your mailbox for the mail carrier.

7. Go caroling at a nursing home.

8. Ring bells for the Salvation Army.

9. Host a Christmas dinner for the widows and widowers at your church.

10. Take balloons or small gifts to the children’s ward of your local hospital. You probably won’t be able to deliver them to the children themselves due to privacy policies, but you can ask the nurses to deliver them or ask permission of the parents who happen to be present at the time.

11. Go to the grocery store together as a family and pick up a few items for your local food pantry.

12. Clean out your coat closet and take your old coats to a local shelter.

HERE’S A TIP

IT’S TIME TO REVIEW YOUR MEDICARE OPTIONS AND IF NECESSARY MAKE A CHANGE.

If a small screw keeps coming loose on something, remove it, paint it with clear nail polish and re-screw quickly. This often does the trick.

CALL US TO RSVP FOR A MEDICARE WORKSHOP OR SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A LICENSED AGENT. WALK-INS ARE WELCOMED! Are you looking for specific benefits, hospitals, or physicians? If your medical needs, prescriptions, or physicians have changed, it may benefit you to review your coverage. We are licensed experienced local agents that live in your community. We will help you review your current plan and cover your wants and needs to make sure your plan is still the best fit for you.

Mail service is a wonderful thing. Order what you want on the internet and it’s in your mailbox or on your doorstep tomorrow. From efficiency to penny pinching, you can use the mail order to help out in numerous ways.

Or, use it to bring a smile to someone’s face: Keep a stack of stamped postcards with you. Jot a note and mail one off whenever the mood strikes.

If you have Medicare and Medicare Plan questions. We have answers!

8 am – 4 pm Monday-Friday

623-471-4004

Calling the number above will direct you to a licensed sales agent. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the Government or Federal Medicare Program. There is no obligation to enroll.

FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR HOME AGAIN!

To save on prescription costs, ask if your health insurance participates in a mail order service where you can get three months of a drug for a discounted cost.

YOU

SPOIL YOURSELF

Christmas is a time for giving. But how often do you include yourself in that? Not very often, I’d guess! Many of us spend our time, effort and a lot of money on planning the perfect holiday for our families, yet rarely do we stop and think about what we actually want and need during this often-stressful time of year!

Before the stress of the holidays gets to your soul, take a few minutes to give back to yourself, so you can enjoy every moment of this Christmas season. Need a little help figuring out what give yourself, try these ideas:

The gift of alone time

There are tons of benefits of alone time, so this Christmas, if you’re able, give yourself the gift of just spending some time alone, your soul will benefit from it greatly.

The gift of beauty

You are beautiful exactly how you are. But most of us love to get pampered and experience a beauty treatment every now and again and this can make us feel even more confident and boost our self-love even higher!

The gift of literature

Books are one of life’s greatest and most precious gift. The words within pages have the power to transform, teach, complete and allow us to dream, understand, learn and more.

The gift of nature

Nature is one of our biggest teachers and it’s an amazing time to get outside and get more in tune with yourself and the natural world around you. This will allow you to feel more balance and serenity.

The gift of music

When was the last time you just put your favorite music on a danced around like a teenager? Give yourself the gift of music by putting your favorite songs on in the morning when you’re getting ready for the day.

The gift of kindness

While being kind to others can really make our hearts feel full, be sure to extend that same amount of kindness to yourself. Watch how you’re talking to yourself, give yourself a break when you need one, say no to something you don’t want to do.

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.”

Sue Royer Director

FLASHBACK ANSWERS From pg. 14

1. Bob Dylan wrote and released the song in 1965. The song was over 11 minutes long.

2. Ruby & the Romantics, in 1963. The songwriters weren’t pleased, hoping instead to aim for easy listening, but the Ruby version ended up topping the charts.

3. ”A Hard Day’s Night,” the first Beatles film, released in 1964. The film did well and received a nom for Best Original Screenplay.

4. The Fleetwoods, in 1959.

5. “Easy To Be Hard,” by Lynn Kellogg, playing the character Sheila in the rock musical “Hair” in 1967. Two years later the song was covered
