SAVE $5.00 WITH COUPON BELOW All Greens Dispensary, nestled between Wells Fargo and McDonalds on Bell Road & 99th Avenue is an Arizona State Licensed Medical Marijuana Dispensary. Featuring excellent, friendly service and free deliveries the dispensary is also proud to be the home to the first drive-thru in the state, allowing patients the same conveniences as many standard pharmacies.

As of March 2019, The Arizona Medical Marijuana Program is serving 193,672 active patients and counting! Of those active patients, the two largest age groups served were those aged 51-60 and 61-70. As more patients and members of the general public become educated on the benefits of using medical marijuana the numbers will no doubt continue to grow. Medical marijuana patients commonly report pain relief, reduced spasms, improved mood, less anxiety and improved sleep. Those are just a few of the many benefits of medical marijuana, not to mention its wellknown low side effect profile!

All Greens Clinic is a one stop health alternative which has just relocated to the same plaza at Bell Road & 99th Avenue. The clinic offers friendly, professional service, the lowest price on Medical Marijuana Certifications and it has three full-time Naturopathic Doctors on staff who also gladly accept patients anytime for free consultations. Free education classes are offered 8:00am to 9:00am on the first Saturday of every month. Additionally, the clinic is home to a large and ever-growing selection of CBD products. Tuesdays, patients can take advantage of a 20% off discount on CBD products in the clinic. Last but not least, All Greens Clinic is offering Acupuncture!

First time patients can book a session for only $20, with great deals for return visits.

FREE education class 1st Saturday of every month.

Mother’s Day is one of those days that makes thankful for the strong women in my life. My mom, Pat Goodson, the owner and publisher of The Grand Season, is one of the strongest I know.

She has taught me it’s never too late to pursue your dreams and that failure isn’t final.

ALBRECHT AND SON

S

May is a month for celebrating achievements, honoring mothers and thanking patriots.

We are so grateful for the service of our brave citizens in the military, and the freedom they protect.

E

Looking at my calendar this month makes me dizzy. I’m confident your mailbox (or email box) is also full of invitations to graduations, wedding showers and even baby showers to squeeze in before summer officially begins.

You can achieve all the things you want to do, but it’s much better to do it with loved ones around you; family and friends, people that you care about that can help you on the way and can celebrate you, and you can enjoy the journey. —John Lasseter

MAKE THE TIME

INSPIRE

Celebrate every day of your life

The most beautiful things are not associated with money; they are memories and moments. If you don’t celebrate those, they can pass you by. —Alek Wek

Anniversaries are like birthdays: occasions to celebrate and to think ahead, usually among friends with whom one shares not only the past but also the future.

—Zbigniew Brzezinski

We all have life storms, and when we get the rough times and we recover from them, we should celebrate that we got through it. No matter how bad it may seem, there’s always something beautiful that you can find. —Mattie Stepanek

I feel like our culture is so good at pulling other people down and being so judgmental, but there’s space for all of us to be who we are. There’s space for us to celebrate each other and root for each other and not take each other down. —Tracee Ellis Ross

I’m a really, really optimistic and really, really positive person. My main thing is, ‘Enjoy life. Celebrate life.’ —Luke Bryan It’s important to celebrate your failures as much as your successes. If you celebrate your failures really well, and if you get to the motto and say, ‘Wow, I failed, I tried, I was wrong, I learned something,’ then you realize you have no fear, and when your fear goes away, you can move the world. —Sebastian Thrun

I want to tell everybody to celebrate every day, to savor the day and be good to yourself, love yourself, and then you can be good to others and be of service to others. —Charlotte Rae Just celebrate the life you had, not the life you could’ve had. —Magic Johnson Celebrate what you want to see more of. —Tom Peters

Destroyer (R) Nicole Kidman goes so deep undercover that there are times you can barely identify the actress portraying LAPD detective Erin Bell. As a young cop, Bell takes a surreptitious role in a crime gang with her partner Chris (Sebastian Stan). They end up party to a botched bank robbery, and Chris is killed by gang leader Silas, who disappears. But years later, when Silas’ re-emerges, Bell comes out full force for retribution and justice.

If Beale Street Could Talk (R) Based on James Baldwin’s 1974 novel, a young couple—Tish (Kiki Layne) and Fonny (Stephan James)—face racism and adversity while maintaining faith in their unshakeable love.

Their families share in the trials of these young lovers ripped apart and the joy of an impending new generation.

LOVE

CELEBRATE THE MOMENT

Five ways to commemorate your relationship

Falling in love is one of the greatest feelings in the world.

Staying in love, however, is work. A strong relationship is something that shouldn’t be taken for granted. Relationship experts say one of the best things you can do for your relationship is to celebrate your love.

Here are some ways to do just that: 1. Take pictures Throughout most moments of the day, you probably have your phone ready to snap a quick photo to share on social media. Remember to take a few photos of just you and your partner for just you and your partner. Capturing moments together gives you a visual reminder of love and reinforces “togetherness.” If you’re feeling creative, make a photo album of the moments you shared together.

2. Write notes Leave a note on the bathroom mirror. Tuck a piece of paper with a thoughtful message in your partner’s coat

pocket. Scribble a note down on the back of the electric bill and leave it next to the coffee pot. These notes don’t have to be long love letters, just a simple note to make your partner smile.

3. Share your gratitude Take a quick moment to share with your partner what you appreciate about them. Start with, “You know what I really appreciate about you?” Then continue with some personal praise of your partner.

4. Dance together It could be a night out dancing to your favorite local band, a small dance in the kitchen while you are making dinner, or a recreation of your first dance at your wedding. Try sitting down and finding a new song that represents your relationship as it stands today and be sure to dance to it tonight.

5. Listen to each other Active listening is the ability to let your partner know you understand what they have said by restating their message. Practice really listening to what your partner is saying. Remember the words of Jeff Daly: “Two monologues do not make a dialogue.” It’s the little things that help keep your love alive!

TIP 1 Denture tablets are great for cleaning tough stains in the toilet bowl. Just drop them in the bowl and let it sit overnight.

TIP 2 Keep a small package of wet wipes in your car so that you can wipe off your hands after you pump gas.

TIP 3 When painting, use a wet travel-size bar of soap to coat the windows (glass only), smearing the soapy residue all over the glass. Let it dry. When you paint, any splatters will land on the soap, which can be easily wiped away when the paint is dry.

TIP 4 If you get a new contact via your cellphone, write it down in an old-fashioned paper address book. These days, we never dial someone, so we never learn their number. If something happens to your phone, you’ll still have access to the numbers of people you want to stay in touch with.

PROBLEM SOLVED Little tips to help address life’s little challenges

LIFE HACKS

Add the two-minute rule to your life. If it only takes two minutes to do, just do it now.

Going to the casino? Carry only the amount of cash that you are comfortable losing, and lock your credit cards and debit cards in your vehicle.

You can use a banana peel to shine your shoes. It’s natural, chemical free and there’s no risk of staining the carpet.

Got an upcoming camping trip? Put some glow-in-thedark paint on your tent so you can easily locate it at night.

After washing the dishes, throw the used sponge in the microwave and run it for two minutes. This has been proven to kill 99% of germs.

Does your grandchild have an annoyingly loud toy? Put a piece of clear tape or craft glue over the speaker. The sound will still play, but it won’t have that same grating highpitched quality to it.

Have a pet that sheds a lot of hair? Fold your clothes inside out when putting them away. This will prevent getting hair stuck to the visible side.

When putting together build-it-yourself furniture, use a muffin tin or ice cube tray to separate all of the screws, nails and fasteners. This will make for easy access during the build.

Ever wonder why cell phone cords are so short? It’s because using your phone while it’s charging can damage the battery.

Want to get the best possible deal on a plane ticket?

Legend has it that Tuesday at 3:00 pm, six weeks before your desired departure time, is the ideal time to buy.

When taking pills, remember this: Chin up for tablets, and chin down for capsules. Tablets sink, while capsules float.

NEW MEDICINE

The new shingles vaccine can be hard to find

Ninety-nine percent of us over the age of 40 had chickenpox when we were kids. That virus is still in our bodies...and it can reactivate at any time as shingles.

Do you know someone who has had shingles? Did their experience make you want to rush to the doctor for the shingles vaccine? If you did get the vaccine years ago, do you feel confident knowing it offers a protection rate of only 50 percent, and only for a few years?

Fear not, they say...there’s a new, more effective shingles vaccine, available since 2017.

Shingrix offers protection at a 90 percent rate. It’s taken in two doses, two to six months apart.

Unlike the old vaccine, this one will still be at least 85 percent effective four years after you get it.

Researchers say one in three will get shingles because our immune systems decline as we age. If you’re over the age of 50, per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, you should have the Shingrix vaccine. If you had the old vaccine between the ages of 50 and 59, we might not be covered in later years.

Finding the new vaccine, however, might be a problem.

It’s easy to find locations that give the shot, but whether they have it on hand is another matter.

Start by calling your doctor’s office to see if they have it in stock and if you should have it. (There might be reasons you shouldn’t.) If you need it but the doctor doesn’t have it, put your ZIP code in the search box on vaccinefinder.org and start making calls to local pharmacies. Be sure to specify Shingrix.

You might be put on a wait list. And don’t forget your Medicare or insurance card because Shingrix is expensive!

INSIGHTS ON SENIORS

RESEARCH SAYS

What studies are discovering

by Matilda Charles

Seniors must be fascinating to researchers because it seems they’re always studying them. Here are a few things they’ve learned through Pew Research Center studies: • With all the drama nowadays about “fake news,” and with senior’s age-enhanced ability to sniff out lies, it would seem that we’d be excellent at discerning what’s real and what isn’t. Not so, according to a study. Five thousand participants of all ages were presented with five factual statements and five opinion statements. Turns out the younger age groups were much better at identifying both the factual and opinion news items than seniors.

• Seniors are more likely to be religious, which researchers identified as meaning being part of a religious group, attending weekly services and

FOR ADVERTISING INFORMATION CALL (623) 594-1630

praying daily. It’s not just here in America—they got the same results for most of the rest of the world.

• When it comes to politics both the baby boomers (born 1946 to 1964) and the Silent Generation (late 1920s to 1945) are more conservative, with the Silents more staunchly conservative than the boomers.

• Although more seniors are becoming technologically savvy, seniors are still 42 percent behind other age groups in the percentage of us who have cellphones or roam the Internet. Half of us say we need help setting up new devices, which is where more training classes at senior centers would come in handy.

• Those over the age of 50 are divorcing at a rate that has doubled during the past 30 years. For those over age 65, the rate has tripled.

If you want to read through more research results like these, go online to Pew Research Center (www. pewresearch.org) and search for seniors or elderly.

RELIEF

CBD AS A NATURAL ALTERNATIVE

by Mario Coss, NMD

CBD (Cannabidiol) is a natural medicinal substance found in cannabis, very similar to how lycopene is a natural medicinal substance found in many vegetables.

Cannabis is a general term for certain plants that contain cannabinoids such as THC and CBD. Typically, plants with high levels of THC are considered marijuana.

Plants with high levels of CBD in absence of THC are considered hemp, and this is where most CBD products are derived from.

CBD is unique compared to THC because its beneficial properties that help reduce pain and inflammation don’t accompany drowsiness or disorientation. This means it’s an excellent option for anyone looking for benefits during the day or while working.

Additionally, in Arizona, to be able to use a medical marijuana product for relief, a patient needs to have

a medical marijuana card and a qualifying condition.

Using CBD products, however, does not require a medical marijuana card, or for a person to have any specific qualifying condition. This means CBD can be used for general anti-inflammatory properties and anxiety-calming effects, in addition to pain relief, spasm relief and antioxidant benefit.

CBD is considered extremely low risk for any undesirable effects, which is why it is legal over the counter. Many people are surprised when they learn that our body produces compounds that resemble plant cannabinoids (like CBD) naturally. There is a lot of research still being performed on the properties and practical applications of CBD. Using CBD can range in form from taking infused edibles, to applying a topical CBD-rich ointment for aches, to using an herbal extract (tincture), and even using suppositories for certain gastro-intestinal concerns...all with an extremely low risk of side effects.

To learn more about the health benefits of CBD, stop by the Allgreens Clinic (pg 6) in Sun City today. Or attend a free educational seminar on the 1st Saturday of each month.

GROWTH

Celebrate your life daily

Let’s be honest, do we need a holiday or an observance in order to don our party hats? The overwhelming response from the scientific, religious, medical and spiritual communities is no! Celebrating life on a daily basis is a way to develop an “attitude of gratitude” that can literally transform your outlook and also improve your health and your sleep. Here are some tips from the experts that can help you develop a lasting habit of gratitude.

Celebrate your day…before it begins.

While your head is still on the pillow, take just a few minutes to identify all the things for which you are grateful, even if it’s just the fact that you are in a warm bed with a roof over your head.

Give thanks sincerely and often.

Pay attention to the gestures of consideration shown to you throughout the day. Be sure to thank everyone who pays you a kindness. Write letters to people thanking them for what they’ve done for you. Telephone someone and tell them how much you appreciate their influence on your life.

e r o f l Be te!

Caitl’s too La

REPLACE! REPLACE! THE END IS NEAR!

Appreciate the “negatives” in your life.

Obstacles and challenges teach us resiliency and humility, and they allow us to become more capable of overcoming bigger problems. Instead of losing it over your neighbor’s barking dog, be grateful for the opportunity to practice patience.

Keep a journal.

Don’t like to write?

Do something called the “rampage of appreciation.” Think about all the things for which you’re grateful, open your journal, set a timer for one minute and spray the page with anything and everything that comes to mind. Don’t stop until the timer rings. When it’s over, you’ll be amazed at how many blessings belong to you.

Count your blessings before you count sheep.

Just as you begin your day as a celebration, end it the same way. By focusing on the good things in your life, you reduce mental stress which contributes to insomnia.

Remember, you don’t need an excuse to party!

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.”

MEMORIAL DAY IT’S ALMOST HERE!

A little history, and some helpful hints for making it more memorable!

Technically, summer doesn’t start until June 21st.

But many people consider Memorial Day to be the unofficial start of the season. This year, we celebrate the holiday on May 27th. Many families will heat up the grill, head to the beach or take in a big blockbuster movie. But Memorial Day has the word “memorial” in it for a reason.

The holiday got started on May 30, 1868, when Union General John A. Logan declared the day an occasion to decorate the graves of Civil War soldiers. Twenty years later, the name was changed to Memorial Day. On May 11, 1950, Congress passed a resolution requesting that the President issue a proclamation calling on Americans to observe each Memorial Day as a day of prayer for permanent peace and designating a period on that day when the people of the United States might unite in prayer.

President Richard M. Nixon declared Memorial Day a federal holiday in 1971. Memorial Day is now observed on the last Monday of May. It is an occasion to honor the men and women who died in all wars.

Here are some ways you can honor the men and women who serve our country: • Put flags or flowers on the graves of men and women who served in wars.

• Fly the U.S. flag at half-staff until noon.

• Visit monuments dedicated to soldiers, sailors and marines.

• Participate in a National Moment of Remembrance at 3:00 p.m. local time.

• March in a parade.

• Host a Memorial Day BBQ for your neighbors and friends. During the party, encourage all attendees to write a thank you letter to a soldier serving in the military overseas.

let us never forget we are the land of the free beause of the brave

Remembering Those Who Served It is customary to mark Memorial Day by visiting graveyards and war monuments. One of the biggest Memorial Day traditions is for the President or Vice President to give a speech and lay a wreath on soldiers’ graves in the largest national cemetery, Arlington National Cemetery, in Virginia. Most communities have local Memorial Day celebrations.
