Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong doing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.

Contrary to popular opinion, love is not just a feeling or emotion.

Love requires action.

Consider what 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 says about love:

February is here and that means love is in the air! The best thing about love is sharing it with someone else, whether it be your spouse, kids, grandchildren or friends.

YOU

LOVE YOURSELF

In the hustle and bustle of life, it is easy to take care of everyone else before yourself. At the end of the day, we all know if you don’t take care of yourself—it’s almost impossible to take care of those counting on you. This month, make it a priority to add some of these ideas to your day to help you feel better.

Stop over-thinking

You don’t need to have the answers to all of life’s riddles. Life is an unfolding, a discovering, an adventure. Sometimes over-thinking it all can get you into trouble. You miss out on the journey you’re on when you’re always stuck in your head.

Be still

Find somewhere beautiful—a park, the woods, your backyard—and just sit there. Be still. Absorb the sound of the wind through the trees, the light and the shadows, the peace, and just appreciate the stillness. Make time for stillness regularly.

Cherish true friends

Surround yourself with true friends. Friends who’ve seen you at your worst—and love you even more for it. Friends who selflessly love you for you, without any agenda. Those friends are priceless.

Exercise regularly

Regular exercise can transform your life. As Richard Branson says, one hour of exercise equals four extra hours of productivity. Make time for exercise, it will give time back to you in spades.

Forgive yourself and others

Forgiveness is one of our most powerful allies.

Forgive the people in your life who harmed you and forgive yourself for your own mistakes and you will liberate yourself from pain, anger, resentment and negativity.

Embrace a positive mindset

Remember who you are and who you aspire to be. Be nice to people, to everyone. Support people and their dreams. Love as you’d want to be loved. We can all be kinder and do better.

Just be you 10 10

LOVE

CREATIVE DATES Shake things up and have fun

Experts say, falling in love is easy, but staying in love is hard.

Research indicates couples who spend time cultivating their relationship are healthier, happier and more vibrant than those who don’t. If you’re in a rut, try these ideas out to light a spark in your relationship.

Sing a Song

If one of you knows how to play piano or guitar—or any other instrument— sing through your favorite songs together. Grab a bottle of wine and make it an athome karaoke bar.

Hit Up the Farmers’ Market

And then see what sort of fresh dinner you can make with those ingredients.

Go to a Jazz Club

Dress up in your finest and head to a live jazz show, drink some whiskey (or your choice of beverage), and get transported to what will feel like another era.

Play Games

Whether its chess, cards, Connect4 or Uno, it’s fun to get a little competitive. Competition can be sexy, right?

Get Some Ice Cream

Ice cream is sweet and so is love, so why reserve dessert only for dinner time? Anytime is a great time for sharing a tasty treat together.

Take a Dance Class

Learn some sweet moves and then go tear up the dance floor together. Put what you’ve learned to good use, again and again.

Go to a Street Fair

Life is extra sweet when the food is really cheap! It’s always fun to discover new and interesting types of foods and vendors with someone special.

Go Bowling

Get your best retro outfit on (or not) and roll your way to a score—literally.

Become Amateur Photographers

Make it your mission to start taking photos of all the things you see. Go on a car ride and find some great new places to shoot.

See a Comedy Show

You can see your favorite comedian, or check out some new names from the roster of up-and-comers—you never know if you’ll be seeing the next rising star!

INSPIRE

EMBRACE LIFE

Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain... To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices. Today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.

—Kevyn Aucoin

Love who you are, embrace who you are.

Love yourself. When you love yourself, people can kind of pick up on that. They can see confidence, they can see self-esteem, and naturally, people gravitate towards you.

—Lilly Singh

Winners embrace hard work. They love the discipline of it, the trade-off they’re making to win. Losers, on the other hand, see it as punishment. And that’s the difference.

—Lou Holtz

Our uniqueness, our individuality, and our life experience mold us into fascinating beings.

I hope we can embrace that. I pray we may all challenge ourselves to delve into the deepest resources of our hearts to cultivate an atmosphere of understanding, acceptance, tolerance, and compassion. We are all in this life together.

—Linda Thompson 16 THE GRAND SEASON • FEBRUARY 2022

Vulnerability is the essence of romance.

It’s the art of being uncalculated, the willingness to look foolish, the courage to say, “This is me, and I’m interested in you enough to show you my flaws with the hope that you may embrace me for all that I am but, more important, all that I am not.”

—Ashton Kutcher

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 self-actualization.

—Bo Bennett

Your life is like a play with several acts. Some of the characters who enter have short roles to play, others, much larger. Some are villains and others are good guys.

But all of them are necessary; otherwise, they wouldn’t be in the play. Embrace them all, and move on to the next act.

—Wayne Dyer

LIFE HACKS

MAKE LIFE EASIER

Singing in the shower daily can help boost your immunity, lower blood pressure, reduce stress and help improve your mood.

Got a stuck zipper? Rub it with the tip of a graphite pencil and it will work again.

Rewire your brain to be happy by simply recalling three things for which you’re grateful each day, for twenty-one days.

Studying or working in your room? Keep your shoes on. Your mind associates having your shoes on with being busy.

Need to glue something together? Thistothat.com will show you the best adhesive to use when gluing two different materials together.

Too much stress causes the human brain to freeze and shut down temporarily.

Women are more influenced by how a man smells, than how he looks. So, men, choose your fragrance wisely.

Always feel tired even after getting a good, long sleep?

You’re probably dehydrated.

Drink some water right when you wake up.

Not only has sex been proven to be good for your emotional health, but it can also unblock a stuffy nose, help combat asthma, and relieve symptoms of hay fever.

The darker the color of the alcohol you’re drinking, the worse your hangover will be.

Looking for something? Scan right to left with your eyes. You’ll notice more since your brain isn’t used to reading that way.

When it comes to your to-do list, put your future first.

HOLLYWOOD HAPPENINGS Michael Keaton finally revealed why he refused to play Batman again after his success in 1989’s “Batman” (with a $411.6 million gross) and “Batman Returns” (with a $267 million gross).

The latter two films were directed by Tim Burton and Keaton felt Burton’s direction allowed a more campy film with a darker feel.

When the late Joel Schumacher signed on to direct Keaton’s third “Batman” film, Keaton felt he “could no longer play Batman if the tone was moving away from Batman’s dark nature, it was always about Bruce Wayne to me.” After re-creating Adrian Toomes/Vulture in “Spiderman: Homecoming,” and appearing in “Morbius” (January 29), he’ll again become Batman/Bruce Wayne in “The Flash” November 4, but here’s the catch, in this version Batman/ Bruce Wayne hails from an alternate universe, while Ben Affleck plays Batman/Bruce Wayne from the timeline of “The Flash” and the upcoming “Batgirl.”

The Department of Veteran’s Affairs has been battling COVID-19 from the very beginning of the pandemic. The recently released Coronavirus Disease 2019 Response Report Annex B tells just how they’ve done. The facts are impressive.

So far they’ve vaccinated 4.3 million people. The VA was also the first federal agency to issue a mandate requiring all VA employees who work in health care to be vaccinated. They beefed up telehealth for veterans at home and those who live in rural areas. This resulted in 2,500% increase of telehealth care visits.

The VA has processed between 70,000 and 90,000 COVID tests per week, and published over 300 COVID studies, including a comparison between the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, as well as vaccination rates between minorities and white patients.

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.”

GROWTH

You can transform your story!

Timothy Wilson, Ph.D. says, “Our experience of the world is shaped by the stories we tell ourselves and our interpretations of it, and these stories can often become so distorted and destructive that they completely hinder our ability to live balanced, purposeful, happy lives. So the key to personal transformation is story transformation,” he says.

CHANGE YOUR STORY Everyone has a story. Our story contains countless pieces of information, some random and insignificant, others full of meaning. Although the facts of our history are immutable, the way we react to them and weave them into our personal narrative is not.

Often our stories are connected to events from our past.

Positive chapters such as a happy childhood, successful career trajectory or healthy relationship can impact our personal stories in an inspiring and uplifting way. These happy events can make us more kind, provide us a more positive outlook, and even improve our self-esteem.

On the other hand, negative life events such as trauma, addiction, illness, divorce, etc., can impact our story in a negative way. These often leave us feeling isolated, depressed and anxious. They affect how we deal with people and circumstances later in life.

26

THE GRAND SEASON • FEBRUARY 2022

Step 1: Assess who you are.

The first step in rewriting your story is to assess who you are, how you have been feeling and behaving, and what circumstances have impacted your life. Ask yourself, “What is my story and what would I like to change about it?” Take time to truly figure out who you are, what is missing, what needs to be improved and how you want to be in the future.

Step 2: Rewrite and revise as you go along.

The second step is to take time out to remind yourself that you can take steps to change your behaviors and life. When we forget we have this power, we tend to feel stuck.

When we remember we have the power to change the trajectory of our narrative, we feel strong, hopeful and happier overall.

HEALTH

THIRSTY ALL THE TIME? You know that drinking plenty of water is essential to life and optimal health. Fortunately, your body has an internal cue that will alert you when you’re thirsty. But what do you do if your urge to drink is going overboard?

What if you drink your daily recommendation of water, eat plenty of plant-based foods, and still can’t quench your thirst? Is it something physical or psychological? Here are some reasons you may crave more to drink.

1. Dry Mouth

It’s normal when you awaken in the morning, and you feel like you have a mouth full of dry cotton. You want to get a cold drink of water and then brush your teeth to banish that dreadful morning breath.

However, if these symptoms persist, you could have chronic dry mouth.

Xerostomia, or dry mouth, is a condition where you don’t produce enough saliva. The

30 30

THE THE GRAND GRAND SEASON SEASON •• FEBRUARY FEBRUARY 2022 2022

membranes in your mouth and throat lose moisture and feel dry and scratchy. A dry mouth often makes you feel thirsty and may cause bad breath and swallowing issues.

Common diuretic foods include many fruits like apples, berries, and lemons. Also, you may get a fluid reduction effect from veggies like celery, beets, tomatoes, and avocados.

2. Diabetes May Cause You to Feel Thirsty

4. Thyroid Issues

If you’ve been diagnosed with Diabetes Type 1 or 2, it poses potential risks to your body, especially your kidneys.

According to an article published by the Mayo Clinic, your kidneys are forced to work overtime when your blood sugar is high. You’ll experience frequent urination, which will cause you to be thirsty all the time.

3. Your healthy diet

Did you know that many healthy foods may reduce your body’s fluid levels and make you thirsty?

This characteristic is called a diuretic, which can make you urinate more frequently. While that’s good if you retain excess fluid, you will also feel the urge to drink more water.

If you have thyroid issues, you’ll often have symptoms like dry mouth and overheating.

It’s not unusual for people with thyroid conditions to also have diabetes or kidney disease.

All these can cause you to be dehydrated and drink more fluid.

5. Low-Carb Dieting

Your body requires a certain amount of carbs for good health. They are packed in sugars, starches, and fiber.

Although fiber is indigestible, it provides roughage for proper digestion and absorbs more water than fat and protein.

By lowering your carbs, you’ll retain less fluid and probably be thirstier.

Sometimes saving money requires hard work and intense discipline.

And we applaud those that are fighting hard to pay off debt or build up their savings. But sometimes saving money can be easy!

Here’s a list of super simple, easy-to-implement ways you can start saving money right now. Don’t worry—just because they’re simple and easy doesn’t mean they won’t have big impact, especially over time.

1. Download apps for savings.

Look for apps to any stores you frequent. It shouldn’t cost anything and with minimal effort you can save a lot! The process may differ from store to store.

2. Purchase used goods at a thrift store or online.

For those things you need but don’t need to buy new, visit Goodwill, or check websites like Amazon, Craigslist, or eBay—each offer thousands of used items in good condition at great prices.

3. Evaluate your TV choices.

Saving money doesn’t have to be difficult

Do your research on comparable prices and then call up your cable company to negotiate your monthly fee. Or you could join the millions of other Americans who’ve said goodbye to cable in favor of streaming options like Netflix, Amazon Prime and others.

4. Buy generic instead of name brand.

Why not consider the cheaper option whenever possible? Generic medications, trash bags, paper towels, baking ingredients, and even beauty and bath products are a good starting point.
