As we celebrate Passover and Easter this month, I hope your time of reflection will remind you that great things are ahead! As we are adjusting to our “new normal,” I remain hopeful life will return to a better normal—a time when we embrace our friends, and savor all of the moments we have missed during this period of social distancing.

Quality Attention to Every Detail

WD-40

LIFEHACKS

Creative uses you may have never considered

Protect a Bird Feeder To keep squirrels from taking over a bird feeder, spray a generous amount of WD-40 on top of the feeder. The pesky squirrels will slide right off.

Separate Stuck Glassware What can you do when you reach for a drinking glass and get one stuck tightly inside the other? Don’t risk breaking one or both by trying to pull them apart. Stuck glasses will separate with ease if you squirt some WD-40 on them, wait a few seconds for it to work its way between the glasses, and then gently pull the glasses apart. Wash the glasses thoroughly before use.

Get That Stuck Ring Off When pulling and tugging can’t get that ring off your finger, reach for the WD-40. A short burst of WD-40 will get the ring to slide right off. Wash your hands after spraying them with WD-40.

Remove Chewing Gum From Hair It’s one of a parent’s worst nightmares: chewing gum tangled in a child’s hair. You don’t have to panic or run for the scissors. Simply spray the gummed-up hair with WD-40, and the gum will comb out with ease. Make sure you are in a well-ventilated area when you spray and take care to avoid contact with the child’s eyes. Wash hair.

Remove Tough Scuff Marks Those tough black scuff marks on your kitchen floor won’t be so tough anymore if you spray them with WD-40. In fact, you can use WD-40 to help remove tar and scuff marks on all your hard-sur faced floors. It won’t harm the surface, and you won’t have to scrub nearly as much. Open the windows if cleaning many marks.

Wipe Away Tea Stains To remove tea stains from countertops, spray a little WD-40 on a sponge or damp cloth and wipe the stain away.

Clean Toilet Bowls You don’t need a bald genie or a specialized product to clean your toilet bowl. Use WD-40 instead: Spray it into the bowl for a couple of seconds and swish with a nylon toilet brush. The solvents in the WD-40 will help dissolve the gunk and lime stains.

HOPE

GREAT THINGS WILL HAPPEN

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all. – Emily Dickinson

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

– Albert Einstein

We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.

– Franklin D. Roosevelt

Hope is the word which God has written on the brow of every man. – Victor Hugo You may not always have a comfortable life, and you will not always be able to solve all of the world’s problems at once, but don’t ever underestimate the importance you can have, because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own.

– Michelle Obama

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can – Thich Nhat Hanh bear a hardship today.

I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.

– Dalai Lama

The capacity for hope is the most significant fact of life. It provides human beings with a sense of destination and the energy to get started.

– Norman Cousins

Courage is like love; it must have hope for nourishment.

– Napolean Bonaparte

Just as despair can come to one only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings.

– Elie Wiesel

Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future.

–Robert H. Schuller

Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.

– Vaclav Havel

If it were not for hopes, the heart would break.

Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.

– Jonas Salk

– Thomas Fuller

There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow.

– Orison Swett Marden

FEEDING YOUR PET RAW FOOD

HERE’S A TIP

Is it a good idea?

TRY THESE LIFE HACKS!

Q: Do you recommend feeding pets a raw food diet?

A friend of mine, who also is a pet owner, told me that my dog would be much healthier eating raw meat than eating kibble. What’s your take?

TIP 1 Mayonnaise can stand in for cooking oil in a recipe. Use in an equal amount. It works especially well in brownies.

A: I try not to endorse one pet diet over another, but I do encourage owners to research different ways to feed their pets. Many owners are justifiably concerned over the ingredients contained in commercial “kibble” type pet foods. Feeding pets a raw food diet needs to be done mindfully. The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention both (unsurprisingly) recommend against feeding raw meat or poultry to pets, saying that bacteria like salmonella or listeria can contaminate uncooked foods. So there is a risk of pets getting ill. If you’re careful about preparing their food, this risk can be minimized.

There’s also an increasing amount of raw pet food available to purchase, making prep a lot easier.

TIP 2 If you have to wash dishes by hand, clean silverware together and toss into a colander. Then you can rinse the whole thing together. This will save time and water.

TIP 3 Apply car wax to shower walls to keep soap scum from hanging around. Petroleum jelly can be used in shower-door tracks to lubricate them.

TIP 4 To extend the shelf life of your bunch of bananas, wrap the stem tightly with plastic wrap. They also can be kept in the refrigerator.

HOLLYWOOD HAPPENINGS James Bond has met his match...the coronavirus!

The latest 007 film, “No Time to Die,” was to debut in early April, but because of the virus, they’ve moved the opening to the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Nov. 25.

Meanwhile, Tom Cruise’s “Mission Impossible 7” has postponed a threeweek shoot in Venice, Italy.

William Shatner has said “no” to re-creating his Captain Kirk role in a film reboot of the original TV series that started the “Star Trek” revolution.

Shatner says, “Kirk’s story is pretty well played out at this point, and besides, Kirk died in ‘Star Trek Generations,’ what’s really left?”

Also not wanting to revisit his past success is Daniel Radcliffe, who, when asked if he would ever play Harry Potter in the “Fantastic Beasts” franchise, explained, “I don’t like to say no to things, but it’s not something I’m rushing to do. I feel those films have moved on and they’re doing just fine without us.”

How to extend the life of your used car

While buying a previously owned vehicle makes the best financial sense in a lot of cases, experts say there are some things to keep in mind. “To keep everyone on the road safe and protect your purchase, all drivers need to stay up-to-date on car maintenance,” says Doug Turner, director of service operations at Byrider, the nation’s largest used car and finance network of dealerships.

“This is especially true for those with used cars.” Here are some practical tips: • Follow the maintenance recommendations of the manufacturer.

• Caring for a vehicle is similar to caring for oneself— take preventative steps to help keep your car healthy. Pay special attention to issues, noises or warning signs that could indicate your vehicle needs maintenance. Warning lights on your dashboard are illuminated for a reason. Understand what they mean and address them as needed.

• Prevent rust and other issues by keeping the interior and exterior of your vehicle clean.

• Use a trusted repair service that hires Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certified technicians. This certification can make a big difference when it comes to quality repairs and maintenance.

• Complete as-needed or at a minimum, an annual inspection, on the vehicle.

Keep in mind that different seasons of the year require different inspections and repairs.

• Fill your vehicle with the proper gas. Use premium if the vehicle manufacturer suggests it.

• When buying a vehicle, stick to retail dealers that put cars through a detailed inspection process. This will help to ensure a given vehicle’s safety and reliability.

At the same time, consider dealers with an attached service department.

CREDIT CARD DEBT

MONEY

Tips for keeping your spending on target

Americans’ credit card debt totaled $930 billion in the fourth quarter of 2019, a $46 billion increase over the third quarter, according to recent data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. At the same time, the proportion of borrowers whose credit card payments were 90 days late or later increased to the highest percentage recorded in almost eight years. Credit cards come with a certain amount of risk, and growing debt can cause problems ranging from stress and depression to a poor credit score and reduced retirement savings. But when used wisely, credit cards can be a helpful tool for managing personal finances. Here are some tips for staying out of credit card trouble.

Create and stick to a budget This will help ensure you are not spending more money on your credit cards than you can pay off at the end of every month.

Get text alerts when your credit card is swiped These alerts will help you monitor how frequently you use your card and remind you that, while not immediate, money is being spent.

Keep your credit card bills organized Be aware of payment due dates and maintain regular payment schedules to avoid ballooning debt, and protect or even improve your credit score.

Set up automatic credit card payments from your bank account so you’ll never be late. If you’re not sure you’ll always have enough to pay in full, set an automatic payment for the minimum amount due, which will also remind you to pay the bill in total.

Consider freezing your credit If you need some help in minimizing the usage of your credit card, put a lower limit on your account. You can even freeze your credit throught the use of a smartphone app. And you can deactivate the freeze when you need to use credit for a big purchase or in an emergency.

It takes 700 gallons of water to make a cotton shirt. To put that in perspective, the amount of water needed to make a T-shirt is enough for one person to stay hydrated for 900 days, while the amount necessary to create a pair of jeans is equivalent to hosing down your lawn for nine hours straight.

They were the brainchild of Sir Isaac Newton, who while warden of the Royal Mint in 1696, used the reeded edges to help combat theft and counterfeiting.

Richard Jewell (R) Ripped from the not too distant past, Clint Eastwood’s biographical drama is about a security guard at the 1996 Olympics who found a bomb, and then went from brave protector to public enemy thanks to the indiscriminately swift blame game played by big media. Paul Walter Hauser dramatically portrays Jewell as a man caught in a web of lies trying to save his reputation.

HOPE

GAME CHANGER

The last month of our lives honestly seems a bit surreal. I’m confident it’s been hard for you and your family to process all that has happened as a result of the current pandemic.

In this era of social distancing, and depleted grocery stores, you may feel anxious and confused about the future.

While it’s impossible to know what lies ahead for our community and nation, HOPE is the one thing that will strengthen our communities with the resolve that better times are just around the corner.

Right now, the greatest gift you can give to those around you is hope. Hope reminds us that the darkness will eventually fade.

Hope inspires us not to lose faith in the dreams we desire. Hope empowers us to go above and beyond to love one another.

Hope is a spark that keeps us going because it offers three key benefits:

HOPE RENEWS FAITH Hope resets your belief system and allows you to renew your faith in a message, person and/or people and support groups to help you become more accountable for the betterment of yourself and others. With this renewed faith, hope introduces you to a path of new beginnings; the belief in finding solutions to problems—solutions you never thought existed.

Hope builds your self-confidence and inspires you to believe you are capable of achieving great things by enabling you to aim higher and work smarter.

Hope recalibrates your mindset and makes you believe there is a way out of your deepest fears.

Hope will make us stronger

emotional intelligence kicks in and you begin to feel you have permission to be yourself. When you can be your authentic self, your self-confidence grows and your engagement levels elevate.

HOPE PROMOTES CLARITY Hope broadens your observations and gives you the circular vision to see around, beneath and beyond the goals you seek. Hope allows you to translate complexity into clarity.

With hope, you’ll begin to see issues through a wider lens. It’s been said, “Adversity is very big when it is all you can see. But it is very small when in the presence of all else that surrounds you.”

Hope fuels your perspective.

Hope can invigorate your passionate pursuits of endless possibilities Napolean Hill says, “A positive mindset will clear all obstacles that stand between you and your major purpose in life. A positive mind finds a way it can be done, while a negative mind looks for all the ways it can’t be done.”

HOPE BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER Hope is a powerful force that brings people together. It instills a sense of unity, collective pride and strengthens optimism when people work together for a common purpose. This is why when people join together to accomplish mutual goals during challenging times, the results yield unbelievable results.

Self-confidence is amplified when your

VETERANS POST

The Department of Veterans Affairs has trained 8,300 employees to serve as patient advocates.

The Patient Advocate Tracking System Replacement (PATS-R) program is now up and running in all facilities around the country. This new, more hands-on system offers veterans more immediate care and sometimes immediate answers. In the past, either you or someone on your medical team would speak to your advocate, who would research the problem, sending emails to the various departments involved. Eventually an answer would come back. Now, after a lot of research into what is really needed, you’ll talk to one of the 8,300 medical staff who have been trained to get a faster resolution to your problem. Even better, this advocate can often solve your problem right then and there, without even asking anyone else.

To keep your finger on the pulse of what’s going on at VA, keep an eye on their blog: www.blogs.va.gov/ VAntage.

STRESS

RELAX

Use these tips to reduce yours

Exercise Thanks to its combination of physical exercise, stretching, meditation, and deep breathing, yoga is an incredible means for stress relief, according to the American Psychological Association. Make room for a yoga class or two in your week (classes available on DVDs and online), and take the time to let go of obligations and negative thoughts. You’ll be amazed at the impact.

Take a deep breath Deep breathing is a quick and easy way to deal with in-the-moment stress. Use what’s called the “4-7-8” method. Before you begin, let all the air out of your lungs and then take a breath, inhaling for a count of four. It’s best to count “one-thousand-one, one-thousand two, etc.” to get the full effect. Once you’ve inhaled, sit still and hold your breath for a count of seven, then slowly exhale to a count of eight. Repeat the exercise four times to maximize the impact and calm your body down.

Turn on happy music Many people use music as a means of dealing with emotions. They listen to songs when they’re sad, when they’re angry, or when they want to get energized, so it makes sense to also use music as a way to relax. Some claim that certain types of music are better than others for stress relief, but it’s most important that you listen to whatever makes you feel most at ease.

Turn off the news If you find that watching the news is stressing you out, go ahead and take a break from it (that’s actual advice from the Centers for Disease Control). Use that time to catch up on your favorite TV shows.

Change your thoughts Practice some positive self-talk. It really can help with your stress levels, according to the American Heart Association. Instead of saying ‘’I can’t do this,” say something like, “I will do the best I can.”

LOVE

LIGHT THE FIRE

If you’re looking to make your marriage stronger and more satisfying, inspire your spouse (and impact your relationship) by showing interest in the things most important to them. Here are some ideas to influence your behavior:

1. Pay attention to their dreams.

Do you know your spouse’s deepest desires?

Besides wanting the best for your family and loving you above all else, do you know what other things are tugging at their heartstrings? You stand a better chance of helping your spouse succeed when you know what they’re aiming for.

2. Ask about the things that matter to them.

If they can’t stop talking about that project at work or the new idea they want to pursue, it’s time you paid attention. Ask them what they need, how far they’ve gone and how you can help. Showing you’re interested in their world will motivate them to be their best.

Cultivate a more vibrant relationship

4. Be a sounding board.

Be available. Can your spouse trust you with their ideas and insights, no matter how simple they may be? Listen, examine and analyze their thoughts with them, not just for them. Sometimes all we need is someone to recognize the dream in us, especially when we can’t see it in ourselves.

5. Celebrate all successes.

Celebrate their wins even when they don’t think it’s a big deal. Small wins keep us energized and enthusiastic. Inspire your spouse to reach higher in everything they do.

6. Be authentic.

Nothing causes more discouragement and disillusionment than someone who encourages you to do something they’ll never try. If you’re inspiring your spouse to be better at work, make sure you’re actively doing the same thing at home.

3. Encourage them.

Sometimes we take for granted how much impact our words can have on our loved ones. We let moments pass that could energize them in ways we can’t even imagine. The next time you look at your spouse and think what a brave, conscientious man he is, tell him. Let your wife know she’s a great mom and an exceptional partner.

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.”
