CLEAR THE AIR

“Decluttering is infinitely easier when you think of it as deciding what to keep, rather than deciding what to throw away.”

Francine Jay

“Out of clutter, find simplicity.

From discord, find harmony.

In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”

“What I know for sure is that when you declutter— whether it’s your home, your head, or your heart—it is astounding what will flow into that space that will enrich you, your life, and your family.”

“The question of what you want to own is actually the question of how you want to live your life.”

Marie Kondo

“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”

“Clutter is nothing more than postponed decisions.”

Barbara Hemphill

“The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.”

“Minimalism isn’t about removing things you love.

It’s about removing the things that distract you from the things you love.”

Joshua Becker

Hans Hofmann

William Morris

Peter Walsh

Albert Einstein

LOVE

FRESH START Now that the holidays have passed, it’s time to clear the clutter in our lives. So, while you’re cleaning out your closets, maybe it’s time to declutter your marriage as well. Regardless of how long you’ve been married, we’ve all collected clutter we need to get rid of, so we can have a fresh start this year.

Think about it, what can you eliminate in your relationship that will help you and your spouse thrive this year? Below are some constructive ways to de-clutter your marriage:

1. Throw out one bad habit.

We all have bad habit clutter, things we do without even thinking about it. What’s a bad habit in your marriage you can get rid of? Do you assume the worst about your husband instead of assuming the best? Is your bad habit not giving him your full attention when he’s talking to you? Is it interrupting him when he’s talking? Choose one bad habit and toss it today.

2. Organize your priorities.

The clutter in our marriage comes from not being clear about what’s important to keep

10

THE GRAND SEASON • JANUARY 2024

doing for the relationship and what’s not.

When we organize our priorities, we can put our marriage front and center where it can get the attention it deserves. Once you’ve prioritized your marriage, then figure out where the rest of your commitments belong.

3. Don’t hang onto grudges.

Grudges can blind us to the good things about our spouse. And, when we hold onto grudges we’ll see everything they do—even the good things—in the light of that grudge because grudges make us bitter. Practice forgiveness to get rid of the grudges you’re hanging on to.

4. Accept the things you can’t change.

Unfortunately, there is some clutter in our lives, and in our marriage we can’t get rid of. Just like that old high school jersey your husband can’t let go, there are things in our marriage that are here to stay. And some things are just not worth fighting over because they are not going to change.

YOU

RIGHTSIZE YOUR LIFE

Do you really need everything you’ve got? If you want to simplify your life, it’s time to start de-cluttering. Getting started and following through with a plan to declutter can prove challenging. To make it a bit easier, here are some ideas to jumpstart your makeover and unleash your possibilities for a simpler life.

1. Declutter Briefly and Often

A 15-minute stint, performed regularly, delivers surprising results sooner than you might expect. Set a timer and get to work. You’ll be delighted by how much you get done in such a short amount of time.

2. Add Decluttering to Your Calendar

Make it easier to remember to declutter briefly and often by adding it to your calendar. Daily, weekly, three times a week—do whatever works best for you to get a routine going. Cross it off when you’ve taken care of it.

14

THE GRAND SEASON • JANUARY 2024

3. One-In-Two-Out

If you need to purchase something new, you can offset that addition by removing two other items from your home. For example, when buying a new recliner, sell or donate your old recliner and one other piece of furniture in your home that you’re not using.

4. Repurpose Stuff for Charity

Giving meaningful items to loved ones may make it easier to let go of them. Consider donating less sentimental items to charity or to a family in need. You can find a donation drop-off locations online, or schedule a pickup, maximizing the ease of giving.

5. Let Clothes Go

If you haven’t worn an item in the past year, you likely don’t need it. If parting with some of your clothes proves too difficult to bear, start small with cheap, easy-to-replace clothing like socks. Many charities accept lightly worn clothing, and you can even use the donation as a write-off on your taxes.

6. Stay Focused

You’ll feel accomplished and motivated to continue when you focus on one room and finish it completely. If you enjoy music, turn on your favorite artists and try to have fun while you declutter. Keep your eye on the end goal to remind you how good it will feel to have an organized, clutter-free home.

HERE’S A TIP Before you use your grater to grate cheese, give it a quick shot of nonstick spray.

It will keep the cheese from gunking up in the grate.

If you need softened butter for a recipe, you can grate it from frozen and it will soften up very quickly, but not melt like in a microwave.

If your glass wear is cloudy, remove built-up film from hard-water minerals by soaking stemware in white vinegar for five minutes.

Then rinse by hand and dry with a microfiber cloth.

GROWTH

MIND GAMES

The brain is a complex and confusing organ. So how do you start decluttering your mind? It’s actually not difficult, if you give it a little thought. You can declutter your mind with several simple actions, try a few and see if they work for you.

1. Breathe

So simple, and yet so effective. Take a few deep breaths, and then for a few minutes, just focus on your breathing. Concentrate on your breathing as it comes into your body, and then as it goes out. It has a calming effect, especially if you continue to return your focus to your breath when your mind strays.

2. Write it down

If you have a bunch of things on your mind, it helps to get them on paper and off your mind.

This keeps your head from being filled with everything you need to do and remember.

20

THE GRAND SEASON • JANUARY 2024

3. Identify the essential

If you want to simplify or declutter, the first step is identifying what is most important. In this case, identify what is most important in your life, and what’s most important for you to focus on right now. Make a short list for each of these things.

4. Eliminate

Now that you’ve identified the essential, you can identify what’s not essential. What things in your life are not truly necessary or important to you? By eliminating as many of these things as possible, you can get a bunch of junk off your mind.

5. Take a walk

Getting outside and doing some kind of physical activity is a great way to get stuff off your mind. I like to walk my dog, but whatever you do doesn’t matter. Spending some physical energy clears the mind.

6. Do less

Take your to-do list and cross off half the things on it. Just pick a few things to get done today and focus on those. Let the rest go away. If you do less, you’ll have less on your mind.

7. Let go

Worrying about something? Angry about somebody? Frustrated?

Harboring a grudge? While these are natural emotions and thoughts, none of them are really necessary. See if you can let go of them.

HEALTH

MEDICAL MATTERS

Medication management is not easy when you’re juggling multiple prescriptions. Has your doctor prescribed you medications with special instructions? Maybe some of your medications have to be stored at a certain temperature or taken at a specific time each day.

Regardless of your age, it’s important to take safety precautions when managing your medications.

Taking the wrong medication or missing a dose could have fatal consequences on your health.

Rather than worrying about memorizing all the special instructions for each medication, try some of these medication management tips.

Use a Pill Organizer

A pill organizer comes in handy because it will store your medicines based on your A.M., P.M., weekly or monthly schedule. One strategy to make the best use of a pill organizer is to schedule a weekly or monthly recurring date on your calendar to fill your pill organizer.

Write a Schedule

Keeping a consistent medication management schedule is essential for your health. Stay on track with your medications by writing out a daily or weekly schedule. Make sure to update your schedule whenever your doctor adds or discontinues a medication from your health plan.

26

THE GRAND SEASON • JANUARY 2024

For easy access, store a digital version of your schedule in your phone or email. Make sure your schedule includes all your medications, including vitamins and herbal supplements.

Create a Master List

Managing medications for multiple prescriptions is complicated. It can get even more complicated if you’re sharing a medicine cabinet with additional people in your home. Stay organized by making a list of all the medications you’re currently taking and store them in a safe place.

Safety Concerns

Medications save lives, but they also come with great responsibility. Doctors are conscious of your medical health and allergies when they introduce new prescriptions into your health plan. This is why it’s vital to communicate any issues you’re having with your prescriptions — are they making you nauseous, fatigued or drowsy? Write down any concerns you have and share the list with your doctor.

In addition, look out for any behaviors you’re noticing in yourself. Do not self-diagnose or make any changes to your prescription without speaking to your pharmacist or doctor. Accidental addiction and overdosing are real concerns that you should be wary of, but it’s also important you benefit from the health and lifestyle impacts of your medications.

CLEAN

DIVE IN

A clean, clutter-free home can do wonders. Apart from the psychological benefits you get from organizing after the process, decluttering your home means you’ll ultimately be left with the items that best serve you. To guide you through the never-ending task of decluttering your home, try these tried-and-true tips.

1. Determine your goals.

Before diving into decluttering your home, figure out what you want to accomplish first. Which rooms do you want to tackle? Whether you want to declutter your home office or your entire home, determine what’s working in the space and what’s not.

2. Figure out what items bring you joy.

Only keep items that bring you joy. This doesn’t mean they have to bring you joy 24/7, though. If you have something seasonal, like a ton of Christmas ornaments, or a collection that you don’t always want on display, you can neatly stow those away until they’re needed.

3. Start small.

If you need some motivation and want to see and feel what a decluttered area can do for you, start with a small space that you see every day. Maybe it’s that bathroom cabinet or a kitchen drawer. Decide on a room and continue in that room until you’ve gone through every area.

4. Don’t hold onto something just because it was a gift.

It’s hard to let go of something that a loved one gave you, but it’s really the acts of giving and receiving that count. If the gift isn’t something you need or like, don’t feel guilty about letting it go. Maybe it will serve someone else better!

5. Follow the one-in-one-out rule.

To better maintain a decluttered space, promise that you’ll get rid of one item for every new item you bring into your house. With this method, you won’t start to amass a ton of stuff.

6. Use the hanger trick for clothing.

Not quite sure which clothes you wear and which ones you don’t? Do a little experiment to find out by flipping the hangers in your closet. After a certain amount of time, like three months, check back to see which hangers you flipped the correct way to wear. In the end, you’ll be left with garments that it’s likely time to say goodbye to.

Rob Reiner is reviving his 1984 classic “This Is Spinal Tap,” with Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer and Reiner himself returning. In 2016, Shearer sued StudioCanal and Vivendi for $125 million due to a breach of contract, asserting that he and other co-stars only received $179 for the sales of merchandise and music over three decades. In 2018, Guest, McKean and Reiner joined the lawsuit, increasing it to $400 million in damages. In 2019, the music rights were returned to Shearer, Guest and McKean, and in 2020, a settlement was reached for an undisclosed amount.

MONEY

Hummel plates? Rare stamps? Aunt Martha’s fountain pens? Should you sell them via an online auction house, and how do you know the true value?

These are common questions many older adults face when they begin downsizing and selling stuff they no longer need. Here’s some expert advice if you’re looking to sell your collectibles.

Determine the Value

COLLECTOR ITEMS

The best way to determine the value of your antiques and collectibles is through an assessment. Many estate companies, antique dealers, antique shops and online auction houses will offer free evaluations of collectibles. Most businesses today will accept photos of the item for the assessment.

If you have a houseful of stuff, look for a company that will come to your home for the evaluation. Also, do your own research online.

Search for the item or similar items via online auctions and secondhand shop sites to begin to get an idea of the selling price.

How to Find an Online Auction Site

Start by asking for referrals from friends, family or a senior living community. Next, spend time on the auction site to understand how it works.

• Read the terms and conditions, looking for how the site charges fees to buyers and sellers, what protection they provide consumers if something goes wrong, and any other specific rules or tips.

• Watch a few items to get a feel for the bidding and auction process.

• Review methods of payment.

• Look for how the site will accept items and the process for delivery of items.

• See what current sellers are saying about their experiences by looking for seller comments or reviews.

• Look for auction houses selling comparable items to yours.

Evaluate based on which ones are providing the best exposure for the best price.

• Ask questions via an online chat or contact page.

Time to sell?

Here are a few quick tips: • Make sure collectibles are authentic, not fake (even if you’ve always believed them to be genuine). Look for a date or company logo, and do research about what makes the item authentic.

• Know the condition of your collectible. Is the color faded compared to the original condition? Are the edges worn? This information will help you compare and determine a sellable value.

• Timing is important. Is this item trending? Is it a seller’s market? Is now the best time to sell your items?

Most importantly, take the time to research the collections you have before listing. The time spent in research could lead to a more valuable reward.

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.”
