Due to this error, we have decided to avoid using stock photos of veterans for covers. Instead we respectfully request our readers share their favorite photos from their time in the military for us to use instead. Please know that our goal is to honor and celebrate our nation’s military heroes.

ALBRECHT AND SON

S

To all of the amazing Veterans that live in our community, I need to apologize for the embarrassing mistake I made last month. In the midst of a stressful deadline, I inadvertently chose a cover image of a military officer who was not American. I’m humbled and embarrassed by this mistake. The only explanation I can offer is that while reviewing photos, the facial features of the officer reminded me of my late-grandfather Bernard Goodson. He was my best friend and hero!

Although he passed away three years ago, not a day goes by that I don’t miss his presence in my life.

HOLIDAY BLUES

YOU

Has the Grinch robbed you of joy?

This time of year it can be hard to be joyful if something is getting in the way. Conflict.

Disappointment. Fear. Anger. These are emotions you have felt at one point or another in your relationships.

In healthy relationships, issues that cause these emotions are merely stepping-stones to a more fulfilling relationship. But for others, these feelings can block the growth of a relationship. While learning to forgive may not be easy, it is absolutely necessary.

If you feel the Grinch has stolen your joy this holiday season, it might be time to look at how you can use forgiveness to move forward.

Forgiveness requires an apology Sure, we’d all like a heartfelt apology from the person who hurt us. Your job is to ask for an apology, if you are comfortable doing so. Just understand that your ability to forgive is not dependent on anyone else’s words or actions.

Forgiveness is not a one-time event Particularly for deep-rooted injuries, meaningful forgiveness can take years to achieve. But we can always begin the process of forgiveness and deal with the resurgences of anger as they arise.

Forgiveness doesn’t mean you have to like the person Forgiveness demonstrates your character; it is not proof of another person’s. You don’t have to trust the person—or even like them—to forgive them.

Forgiveness requires confronting the person Often, it is best to directly address the person who hurt you. This allows you to articulate how the person’s words or actions have affected you, which may provide a psychological release. If you do not feel safe approaching the person, however, do not put yourself in a dangerous situation.

Learning to forgive may be the single most important thing you can do to grow in your relationships and while it can be hard, it can also lead to more joy.

LOVE

This year, rather than wrapping up something to collect dust, consider learning to speak a new language—your partner’s love language.

Dr. Gary Chapman, bestselling author, counselor and speaker, realized his clients were trying all the “right” ways to show their partner love—but they were speaking the wrong language.

The 5 Love Languages theorizes people tend to give love in the way they prefer to receive love.

Since we don’t all have the same preferences as our partners when it comes to giving and receiving love, this is how relationships can start to get sticky. By understanding our partners’ inherent love language, however, we can express our love to our partners more effectively. According to Chapman, even though we tend to favor one of these five languages more than the others, we still enjoy traits of the others, as well.

1. Words of affirmation This language uses words to affirm other people. For those who prefer the words of affirmation, hearing “I love you” and other compliments are what they value the most.

Disney has heeded the words of critics and fans who thought “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” was bloated, incoherent, repetitive, draining and a rehash of the first four films.

It also was the lowest grossing film in the 14-year, $4.5 billion franchise, with a $795 million gross against a $320 million price tag.

Disney’s solution is to bring on board Robert Reese and Paul Wernick, who successfully wrote the two “Deadpool” films that killed it at the box office.

Milo Ventimiglia, rerunning daily in “The Gilmore Girls” and riding high with the hit NBC drama “This Is Us,” will star in the comedy “The Art of Racing in the Rain,” with Kevin Costner, Amanda Seyfried and Gary Cole, due in 2019. Next up for Ventimiglia is the romantic comedy “Second Act,” with Jennifer Lopez, Leah Remini, Vanessa Hudgens and Treat Williams, coming Dec. 21.

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT

Several times a month there are after hours events where members can choose to participate in social events such as attend movies or have a bingo night or a themed dance. They also have an annual trip out of town to encourage independence!

HERE’S A TIP

TIP 1 Want a great way to keep the overindulgence from getting out of hand during the holidays? Keep a snug-fitting pair of jeans at the ready. Try them on every day or so, just to get a read on whether you’ve been hitting the eggnog too hard or if you need to back away from the cookie plate.

Jeans don’t lie.

TIP 2 With the days getting shorter, people are walking or biking at dusk or in darkness. Be safe— get a roll of reflective tape and add it to bike helmets or jackets for extra protection. Also make sure your bike has a light on front and back, as well as reflectors.

Droopy eyelids are more than just a cosmetic nuisance-they impact your ability to see.

You don’t have to live with this!

Susan Gill loves the results of both her upper and lower eyelid surgery performed by Dr. Emilio M. Justo .

Happy Holidays!

FREITEE

THE GRAND SEASON • DECEMBER 2018

In a match between a 200-pound mountain lion and a 20-pound porcupine, the lion is likely to be the loser— and probably will die if it tries to take a bite of the desired prey.

The next time you’re annoyed by a bad case of the hiccups, consider poor Charles Osborne. In 1922, when he was 28 years old, Mr. Osborne got the hiccups. For the next 68 years, he continued to hiccup, finally stopping in 1990, one year before his death at the age of 97.

In an odd coincidence, President Abraham Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy, and President John F. Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln.

Kennedy the secretary told Lincoln the president that he shouldn’t go to Ford’s Theatre the night he was shot; Lincoln the secretary tried to convince Kennedy the president not to go on a trip to Dallas, where he was shot.

Those who study such things claim that an average bank robber in the United States nets about $4,000 for every job. It is currently unknown just exactly how the researchers came to know such information.

HANUKKAH TRADITIONS

A look at Jewish customs

HOLIDAYS

The Hanukkah celebration revolves around the kindling of a nine-branched menorah, known in Hebrew as the hanukiah. On each of the holiday’s eight nights, another candle is added to the menorah after sundown; the ninth candle—the shamash (“helper”)—is used to light the others. Jews typically recite blessings during this ritual and display the menorah prominently in a window as a reminder of the miracle that inspired the holiday.

In another allusion to the Hanukkah miracle, traditional Hanukkah foods are fried in oil. Potato pancakes (latkes) and jam-filled donuts (sufganiyot) are particularly popular in many Jewish households.

Other Hanukkah customs include playing with foursided spinning tops called dreidels and exchanging gifts.

HAPPY HANUKKAH!

CUT WHAT OFF?!?

VETERANS POST In July 1973 a fire broke out in the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis. By the time it was put out four days later, as many as 18 million personnel files were lost, accounting for 80 percent of the Army’s records and 75 percent of the Air Force’s holdings. Records that weren’t burned were soaked by millions of gallons of water. Employees were able to save 6 million records in that soggy condition.

The biggest problem was how to dry the waterlogged records before mold took hold. McDonnell Douglas stepped up and offered its vacuum-dry process chamber. Thousands of cartons of wet, damaged files were delivered and subjected to freezing and drying in an attempt to save them.

If you are planing to adopt a furry friend this holiday season, call to schedule a wellness check, vaccine, or spay / neuter appointment to make sure your new pet is healthy in 2019.

The records lost are from Army personnel discharged Nov. 1, 1912 to Jan. 1, 1960, and Air Force personnel discharged Sept. 25, 1947 to Jan. 1, 1964 with names alphabetically after Hubbard, James E. If you have records in your family files, consider contacting the records center and asking if they need them. Future generations could benefit from what you have in a box in the closet. Write to the National Personnel Records Center at 1 Archives Drive, St. Louis, MO 63138.

A LASTING GIFT

GROWTH

Give the gift of encouragement

The holidays are the most demanding time of the year! Because of those demands, we often are overwhelmed and are short with those we love the most. This season, make it a point to choose your words with care— especially when you’re emotionally and physically exhausted. The greatest gift you can give to those you love this season is words of affirmation.

Viktor Frankl may have put it best when he said. “If we take man as he is, we make him worse. If we take man as he should be, we make him capable of what he can be.”

In her book called Balcony People, Joyce Landorf Heatherley differentiates between two types of people: balcony and basement. Basement people evaluate others. With their critical judgments of people’s words and actions, they tear away at others’

souls. Balcony people, on the other hand, affirm others. They cheer others on and energize them with their affirmations. Here’s a tough question: Are you a balcony or basement person?

Never forget, you have the power to encourage someone to achieve greatness. There are people in your life that need you to believe in them—your children, spouse, employees and even your boss.

Below are a few suggestions you can do to help them build self-confidence and summon the courage to overcome challenges: 1. Develop a genuine rapport with them by showing them that you are totally invested in their success.

2. Challenge their abilities while giving them the tools and support they need to succeed.

3. Offer sincere encouragement about their capabilities when you see them struggling or getting down on themselves.

Never underestimate the impact of encouraging others. Mark Twain said, “I can live for two months on a good compliment.”

PAWS CORNER Q: My 18-month-old puppy “Sparks” shreds socks. I try to keep them put away but worry that my kids will accidentally leave out a sock and he’ll get it. How can I train Sparks to not eat socks?

A: The shredding is not unusual behavior, because puppies love to chew and destroy things, but swallowing the sock is outside the norm.

If Sparks only tries to shred the sock when you take it away from him, he’s guarding it in the same way he guards food, as a resource.

Start his training by reinforcing basic obedience commands, especially the “leave it” or “drop it” commands.

Give him a reward, like attention or a tiny treat, each time he successfully obeys the command.

Basically, Sparks needs to drop anything in his mouth when you give the command.

an adult, I love the history trains represent.

Participating in the SCW Model Railroad club in Sun City West is a highlight for me, because I have the opportunity to share my childhood passion with other train enthusiasts.

SCW Model Railroad Club Saturday, Dec. 22 & Sunday, Dec. 23 1:00 pm – 4:00pm

One of my favorite memories of my childhood was waking up on Christmas morning to the sight of my Lionel train running around the Christmas tree. I immediately thought that it was the best Christmas ever! You see, as a boy it was all I ever wanted. The sight of the smoke bellowing out of the engine and the sound of the whistle accompanied by the chugging of the engine mesmerized me.

It was then my passion for trains began. As a child, the sights and sounds were enough to hold my interest, but even now as

Bring your friends and family this holiday season to view the trains at the indoor and outdoor exhibit, featuring the Polar Express and Thomas & Friends, located at RH Johnson Arts & Craft Center. 19803 R.H. Johnson Blvd., Sun City West.

The trains are operated by train club members and, as with every railroad, the trains run on regular schedules—check the postings at R.H. Johnson Arts & Craft Center.

Perhaps, you too, will be mesmerized by the sights and sounds of the trains as they pass by!

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.”
