This is excellent advice for times such as this.

For the last four weeks we’ve been ambushed by political ads. As if COVID wasn’t enough, we just experienced the most heated election in the history of our great nation. As our publication is being sent to print, the outcome of the election remains undecided, and yet I’m holding to the word GRATITUDE this month. Regardless of the outcome, our country will move forward and I’m grateful to live in a country where every vote counts.

VETERANS POST

The Department of Veterans Affairs has now made it easier to file a claim for Agent Orange exposure.

Starting Jan. 1, 2020, The Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act of 2019 (PL 116-23) extends coverage to those who weren’t inland but were shipboard.

The difficulty has been gathering all the records and logs required to prove your location.

Now the National Archives and Records Administration has digitized declassified Navy and Coast Guard deck logs (aka ship or captain’s logs) from 1956-1978 and put them online to make it easier for veterans to validate their claims. This includes the hospital ship USS Sanctuary.

For more information, go online to www. benefits.va.gov/ benefits/blue-waternavy.asp and click on everything. Go to va.gov (type “blue water navy” in the search box). See digitized records at catalog.archives. gov.

VOLUNTEER

SHARE YOUR TALENTS

It’s the best way to change the world

“Giving Tuesday” is the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, and is a global movement and day that celebrates and encourages giving back.

Giving Tuesday is a great reminder to write a check to your favorite nonprofit organization. But beyond money, when it comes to planning where and how you will spend your time and energy, let your strengths guide you to ways you can help the people and community around you.

Writing a check or volunteering your time with your favorite nonprofit organization is a great idea. If you have extra time or resources to give, however, consider these creative ways to put your strengths to work when giving back this year.

1. Animal whisperer? Consider fostering some furry friends from your local animal shelter.

2. Avid reader? Pass on a book that could change someone’s life. The right book could help someone start a business, improve a relationship or provide a confidence boost.

3. Love fitness? Sign up for a charitable walk or run and give to a cause you care about. Better yet, ask someone to workout with you and be a fitness mentor.

4. Is your thumb green? Lead a community garden project or teach kids how to care for flowers and plants.

5. Talented teacher? Talk to a local school about volunteering to be a tutor.

6. Love events? Donate your time and talents to a fundraising event for a worthy organization.

7. Connected? How could you use your network to help someone else? The right introduction could lead to a job prospect, an increase in revenue or a new friendship.

8. Enjoy children? Volunteer to watch your friend’s kids for an evening.

9. Extra cash? Think about buying something for a stranger. Pick up the tab for the person behind you at the coffee shop or the tollbooth on the bridge.

10. Great cook? Volunteer your talents at a local soup kitchen.

Stay true to yourself by giving in the realms that make you the happiest. When you give back with your own talents, it doesn’t feel like work—it feels like an expression of who you are.
