SENIOR NEWS

DOING NOTHING IN RETIREMENT What to do about not doing much

by Matilda Charles

A show of hands, please! How many of us are doing nothing we’d planned to do once we quit working?

How many of us are, more accurately, doing nothing at all?

I thought it was just me, jettisoning carefully laid plans for how I’d spend my time and opting to do...not much. I’m not the only one among my friends. Those who are ahead of me, claim they did the same thing for one year.

That length of time seems to be the common theme, spending a year chilling out, avoiding responsibility if it involves making plans and in general hiding from those who want to rope us into doing...anything.

The suspected reason: We did too much during our working years. And for at least a little while, we need to take a breather.

At the end of the year, I’m told, it’s like coming up for air, looking around at the world and deciding to join it again.

Experts say this happens frequently. Once we retire, we don’t know how to make new friends, and so on.

I think they’re wrong. It’s not that we don’t know how to do those things, we just don’t want to.

When it comes to volunteering, they say that the “menial” type of volunteer work available doesn’t appeal to us. But then neither does the “mentoring” they say should be the answer to it all because it would use our skills.

Once I identified this “I’m not going to do anything” mentality in myself, I decided to counter all the TV watching with a personal strategy designed to at least get me out of the house. On a big calendar I’ve made entries for things like visiting the library once a week or checking out a class at the senior college.

And when the time comes, I don’t actually have to do those things. I can always just say “no,” but at least I have a plan.

THE GIFT OF FORGIVENESS It’s for you

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

—Martin Luther King, Jr. There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.

—Bryant H. McGill

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

—Mahatma Gandhi The most important thing that I learned in growing up is that forgiveness is something that, when you do it, you free yourself to move on.

—Tyler Perry It’s one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself, to forgive. Forgive everybody.

—Maya Angelou Mistakes are always forgivable, if one has the courage to admit them.

—Bruce Lee

The ineffable joy of forgiving and being forgiven forms an ecstasy that might well arouse the envy of the gods.

—Elbert Hubbard

Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit.

—Peter Ustinov

I believe forgiveness is the best form of love in any relationship. It takes a strong person to say they’re sorry and an even stronger person to forgive.

—Yolanda Hadid

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.

—Lewis B. Smedes

When you forgive, you in no way change the past—but you sure do change the future.

—Bernard Meltzer

Acceptance and tolerance and forgiveness, those are life-altering lessons.

—Jessica Lange

HOLLYWOOD HAPPENINGS Glenn Close may have lost her seventh bid for an Oscar for “The Wife,” but she’s about to pull out the big guns for next year.

She’ll finally re-creating her Tony Award-winning performance as Norma Desmond in the Andrew Lloyd Webber big-screen musical “Sunset Boulevard.” Close is now at the right age (72) to play the forgotten silent-film star, and after winning three Golden Globes, three Emmys (from 14 nominations) and three Tony Awards (one for Norma Desmond in 1994), and reviving “Sunset Boulevard” in 2016 to rave reviews, she’s ready.

MOMENTS IN TIME

WHAT HAPPENED IN HISTORY

Big events that occurred during the month of April

April 9, 1962 President John F. Kennedy throws out the ceremonial first pitch in Washington D.C.’s new stadium, called simply “D.C. Stadium.”

He continued a tradition that began in 1910 when President William Taft threw out Major League Baseball’s first openingday pitch in old Griffith Stadium.

April 10, 1866 The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) is founded in New York by philanthropist and diplomat Henry Bergh

after he witnessed and later wrote about work horses beaten by their peasant drivers in Russia.

April 11, 1945 The American Third Army liberates the Buchenwald concentration camp, near Weimar, Germany.

Among those saved by the Americans was Elie Wiesel, who would go on to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986.

April 12, 1914 The Mark Strand Theatre opens to the public in New York City, the first of the “dream palaces,” known for their impressive size and

luxuriously appointed interiors. The Strand seated some 3,000 people.

April 13, 1360 A hailstorm kills an estimated 1,000 of King Edward’s III’s English soldiers in France. The heavy losses were seen as a sign from God, convincing King Edward to negotiate peace with the French.

April 14, 1986 The U.S. launches airstrikes against Libya in retaliation for its sponsorship of terrorism against American troops and citizens. The attacks were mounted

by Navy attack jets in the Mediterranean and Air Force bombers from bases in England. France

wronged can help you process what happened and move on; however, the way you write about it and what you choose to focus on can make all the difference in how easy it becomes to forgive. Research shows that journaling about the benefits you’ve received from a negative situation can actually help you to forgive and move on more easily.

PRICELESS

Give yourself the gift of forgiveness

GROWTH

Although forgiveness brings many benefits, particularly to the “forgiver,” to forgive is not always easy. While everyone may have a unique perspective on how to forgive, the following strategies have been proven effective for many people.

Express yourself When trying to decide how to forgive someone, it may or may not help to express your feelings to the other person.

If the relationship is important and you would like to maintain it, it may be very useful for you to tell the other person—in non-threatening language—how their actions affected you. If the person is no longer in your life, or if you have reason to believe that things will get much worse if you address the situation directly, you may want to just write a letter and tear it up (or burn it) and move on.

Look for the positive Journaling about a situation where you were hurt or

Cultivate empathy While you don’t have to agree with what the other person did to you, when working on how to forgive, it often helps to put yourself in the other person’s shoes. Research has shown that empathy, particularly with men, is associated with forgiveness, and can make the process easier. Instead of seeing them as “the enemy,” try to understand the factors that they were dealing with.

Get help Sometimes it can be difficult to forget about the past and forgive, particularly if the offending acts were traumatic. If you’re still having difficulty knowing how to forgive someone who’s wronged you in a significant way, you may have better success working with a therapist who can help you work through your feelings on a deeper level and personally support you through the process.

TIP 1 Want a better way to recycle your plastic grocery bags? Simply gather them all when you put away your purchases and store them in the trunk of your car.

Then, the next time you grocery shop, put them in the appropriate container at the store—not your curbside recycling bin.

TIP 2 When replacing the box of baking soda from your fridge, dump the old one into your kitchen drain and follow with a couple cups of white vinegar.

After a few minutes, flush the drain with hot water to leave it smelling fresh.

TIP 3 If you accidentally spill water on a book, separate the pages with pieces of wax paper.

Then close the book. As it dries, the wax paper wicks away moisture and prevents wrinkles.

TIP 4

To check for toilet leaks, add a few drops of food coloring to the tank. If, without flushing, you see the bowl water start to change color, you have a leak.

SLEEP BETTER

HEALTH

Five things that will help you sleep

One simply can not overestimate the importance of getting a good night’s sleep. But sometimes that’s easier said than done. If you’re struggling to catch some quality shut eye, here are some ideas that just might transform your life by improving your ability to get quality rest.

1. Right before you go to bed, try taking a hot bath or long shower— the rise and resulting sudden drop in your body temperature will help to make you feel more relaxed—and sleepy.

2. Wear warm socks to bed. When you sleep, your body redirects blood flow to your hands and feet to redistribute heat from your core to your extremities; cold feet can inhibit this blood flow and therefore make it harder for you to maintain a restful sleep. Socks are the fix.

3. If the temperature in your bedroom allows it, try sleeping under a heavy or weighted blanket. Long used by psychiatrists in occupational therapy as a tool for calming patients with sensory overstimulation, the all-over “deep touch pressure” of weighted blankets helps promote deeper relaxation.

4. Still having trouble sleeping? Here’s a breathing trick you can try. Touch your tongue to a spot directly behind your top front teeth, then breathe in through your nose for four seconds. Then hold your breath for seven seconds and exhale through your mouth for eight seconds. Repeat the whole process three times to fully decompress…if you don’t fall asleep before you reach the end.

5. If none of these techniques are helping you sleep (and you’ve tried cutting out before-bed caffeine and sugars), then you need to do a little more to set your mind at ease.

Introductory mindfulness techniques, such as focusing in on your breathing or studying an imagined object (with your eyes closed) for five minutes, can allow you to finally slip away from the stresses of daily life and find a more restful sleep.

EARTH DAY

HOME

Impact the world at home

by Courtney Greger

In honor of Earth Day (April 22, 2019), let us consider how being mindful of the three Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) at home can make a difference far beyond it.

What can I reuse? Can you refurbish cabinets instead of getting new ones? Can new paint upgrade a finish? Can old items be used by someone else? Learning to reuse or repurpose is essential for cutting down waste. Not remodeling? Try these basic ideas: • Send gently used books to schools • Donate your older fashion looks to charities • Paint old furniture and repurpose it • Use old spaghetti sauce jars to serve as pots for plants • Use rechargeable batteries

Reduce Stop the clutter, slow down the buying.

Do you need it or just want it? Is there something else that can be used for this purpose? Here are a few things you can do immediately to reduce your consumer footprint.

• Print on both sides of the paper • Pay bills electronically • Remove your name from mailing lists • Read newspapers online • Avoid using disposable items like paper plates, cups and utensils • Avoid buying overpackaged items

Recycle If it cannot be reused, then recycle all materials possible. Glass, wood and cardboard packaging can be recycled, not just thrown away. Recycling items means the item will be repurposed into raw material that can then be reshaped into a new item. Choose recycled products when purchasing new ones.

• Use paper products that are made from recycled materials • Avoid buying hazardous materials that are difficult to recycle • Choose environmentally responsible products

Reuse When remodeling or updating your home really consider:

Remember, your choices as a consumer can significantly impact the world your grandchildren inherit.

Five steps to forgiving your spouse

If you want to have a healthy relationship, forgiveness in marriage is critical. When your husband forgets to do something you asked or says something in a tone you don’t like, deal with it right then. Tell him how you feel. Then make up your mind to wipe that slate clean and forgive. Here are five steps to get you moving in the right direction.

express the depth of your hurt. Make sure you feel heard before you move on.

3. Plan for change The goal here is not to punish your spouse with requirements, but to set up guidelines that you both agree to. That way, there will be fewer gray areas that can lead to disappointment later in your relationship.

1. Forgiveness is a choice, not a feeling You may not feel like forgiving. You may want to harbor the anger and hurt and make your spouse pay. But, once you decide you want to grant forgiveness, you can begin to work through those feelings.

4. Stop the video Do not replay your spouse’s infraction over and over in your head. When your mind starts to wander and you begin to dwell on the incident, tell yourself to stop. It’s one thing to need to talk to someone like a counselor about your pain so you can move past it, but it’s another to keep inflicting the pain on yourself by dwelling on it. Deciding to truly forgive your spouse is re-committing to your relationship. Don’t sabotage it by focusing on the negative.

2. Share your hurt After your spouse has apologized and asked for forgiveness, you need to talk about the matter before you move on. It might be uncomfortable, but you need to share how you feel. Don’t point a finger; just share to

5. Give yourself time Deciding to forgive will not strip away all of the pain. It’s natural to feel raw and disappointed. Forgiveness is a process. Keep choosing to forgive and creating a solid foundation of trust to strengthen your marriage.

DON’T BE SEDUCED

BY ROMANCE SCAMS Keeping your eyes wide open when dating

Romance can be lovely...except when it isn’t. Disaster can be part of the package if the new “perfect match” is a scammer. There are far too many ways for thieves to con seniors. To stay safe, keep your guard up and be aware of the situations below.

Air Conditioning • Electrical • Plumbing • Water Treatment

Reverse Osmosis System Tune-Up

Online Dating Sites You can’t really know who’s on the other end of the ads you view, but there are some warning signs that a potential date might not be honest. He or she might profess love all too quickly, or send photos that don’t look real. You might be encouraged to delete your profile and instead exchange direct email. Maybe you’ll be told you can’t meet yet because the other person is out of the country, and there are excuses about why you can’t talk on the phone. Eventually there will be an “emergency,” and you’ll be asked to help by sending money...and then more money.

• • • • • •

Drug Mules Many seniors have been conned into sneaking drugs into other countries. A new love will ask a senior to travel overseas, even making the arrangements.

Unfortunately, those arrangements include taking along an extra piece of luggage.

It could contain anything, but it’s often drugs. If the senior gets caught, claiming innocence doesn’t help when stuck in a foreign jail.

Furnace Tune-Up

Financial Assets Co-mingling of assets or accounts is another red flag.

Don’t do it, especially if you intend to leave money to your heirs. The more assets you have, the more you’re at-risk of having your money stolen. Be careful how much financial information you give out about yourself.

Setting up a senior to be scammed doesn’t have to happen overnight. Sometimes the scheme can play out for months while trust is built and information disclosed. If you suspect you’ve been scammed, call the anti-fraud hotline at 1-855-303-9470.

PAWS CORNER Q: I was glad to dog-sit for my friend when she went on a trip, and I followed her instructions for feeding and walking her dog, Gladys, who is visibly overweight.

The amount she’s fed doesn’t help.

I tried to walk her frequently so she could burn some calories, but she needs a change of diet. Should I tell my friend this?

A: Kudos to you for keeping to Gladys’ diet and schedule during your friend’s trip. Talking about a dog’s weight can be a touchy subject.

Some owners might react poorly, thinking you’re telling them what to do. She’s your friend, however, so you might be able to have an impact.

The important thing is, don’t go overboard with advice.

Make the discussion part of a casual conversation. Then, listen to your friend.

Once you spark a conversation, offer to help where you can, or just offer encouragement.

KITCHEN HACKS

FOOD

Easy ways to prep produce

Sometimes a little creativity in the kitchen can make a massive difference in the work required to make a meal. Here are some unique ways to simplify your tasks in the kitchen.

Pit Cherries Place each cherry over the top of a water bottle and push the pits through with a chopstick.

Pit Avocados The big slippery pit will be stuck in one side after halving: to remove, chop the knife into the pit so it sticks, then twist sideways.

Peel an Orange Slice the ends off, then slice through the peel down one side; pull apart to release all of the wedges.

Peel a Kiwi Slice off the end, run a spoon inside the skin to separate it, then the fruit will squeeze right out.

Core Strawberries Push a straw through the strawberry from the bottom point to core it.

Juice Lemons and Limes Press firmly on the fruit whole rolling it on the counter, then slice in half—the juice will squeeze out easily.

Peel Garlic Cloves Smash a clove with the side of you knife blade (carefully) to break the skin free.

Peel a Mango Cut four sides off the mango as close to the pit as possible, then push each piece down the side of a glass to separate fruit from the skin.

Trim Asparagus Stalks Bend a stalk until it snaps. Cut all stalks there; toss the tough ends.

VETERANS POST

President Trump has signed an executive order to create a task force to address veteran suicide. The secretaries for a dozen government agencies will be on it.

The task force has been given one year to develop strategies to lower the rate of veteran suicides, design and propose to Congress a program of local grants, and develop a research strategy to improve coordination and monitoring.

The Department of Veterans Affairs was already serious about preventing veteran suicide. The November 2018 Government Accountability Office report on the VA’s suicide prevention outreach says that the 2018 suicide prevention mediaoutreach budget was $6.2 million. Targets were veterans, their families, their friends and the general public— all groups who need the information.

Yet the VA spent only $57,000 of that money and guessed that they would spend a total of $1.5 million, leaving $4.7 million untouched. Why? Because there was a vacancy in the suicide prevention office! A single vacancy. The GAO report says there was no one to “make decisions.”

Create beautiful table decorations for Easter

Looking for a craft you can do with your teens this Easter? Easter egg candles can be made in all different colors, and you can use items you already have at home.

To prepare your egg shells for this craft, crack the egg across the top instead of across the middle. Once you’ve emptied the contents of the egg, rinse out the shell and put it aside to dry.

Step 1: Paint the eggs Use the craft paint to paint the eggs. Use coordinating pastel colors for a nice display.

FOR ADVERTISING INFORMATION CALL (623) 594-1630

Step 2: Melt the wax Before melting the wax, be sure to bend the food can so it has a spout.

This step is critical for minimizing mess when making these candles. Place the wax you’d like to melt in the can. Stand up the can with the wax in a small pot.

Add water to the pot no higher than the level of the wax and bring the water to a simmer. Allow the can to remain in the pot until all the wax is melted.

Step 3: Pour the candles Stand the eggs up in an egg carton and place one wick in each egg. Once the wax is melted, carefully pour the wax out of the can via the spout into your prepared egg shells.

LET IT GO

YOU

Don’t let your mistakes define you

“I can’t believe you did that. You idiot. You can’t be trusted. You’re terrible. And I’ll never forgive you!”

These words can be devastating to someone seeking forgiveness. But when you say these words to yourself, it can be crippling. Forgiving yourself can be hard work, but it’s worth it. Here are some helpful tips to consider: Decide to let it go In the process of forgiving, the first barrier you have to remove is within your own mind. You must make the decision: I will not dwell on this incident. That decision doesn’t guarantee you’ll stop the mental video, but it draws a line in the sand and provides a starting point.

Look at what you’ve done…objectively A big obstacle to forgiving yourself is the inability to see things objectively. Perhaps what you did was a big deal. Or maybe, it just feels like it was. Pretend it was someone else that you love who did what you did. Ask yourself how you would view them.

Own it, but don’t be owned by it Taking responsibility for what you did is important. But one bad choice doesn’t have to define you. You can’t control how others define you, but you can control how you define yourself.

Grieve your loss If a tragedy was averted in your situation, focus on the good of that, and be thankful. If, however, a tragic loss occurred, know it’s okay to grieve the pain. Beating yourself up constantly is not a requirement of grief.

Seek forgiveness from others Forgiveness from others can free you up to forgive yourself. If you haven’t yet, seek forgiveness from the person you hurt.

Focus on what you can learn Everyone fails. Everyone hurts others eventually. It’s part of the human experience and condition. But not everyone will learn from what they do. Be someone who is willing to learn from your past to benefit your future.

Record your reflections Sometimes capturing a record of your thoughts and feelings can help you face them honestly. Do some light journaling for a few days. Focus on what you are struggling to let go of and what you would do if you could be free of the burden of guilt you feel.

BETTER THAN CANDY

GRANDKIDS

Fun gift alternatives for Easter

When it comes to Easter, there’s no doubt about it: candy is the go-to gift item for kids. But whether it’s to avoid triggering food allergies or sugar overload, or you just want to do something a little different this year, there are many reasons you may be in need of some alternative gift ideas. With that in mind, here are some Easter gift ideas other than candy: Great books You don’t need to forgo the Easter basket entirely. Just fill the basket with books in lieu of sweets. This is an opportunity to foster a love of reading and help build a young reader’s personal library.

Beating seasonal allergies

Allergies are the sixth leading cause of chronic illness in the U.S. and more than 50 million Americans suffer from them each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. When it comes to spring allergies, you don’t need to anticipate the season with dread.

There are steps you can take to proactively dodge allergens and mitigate debilitating symptoms, according to the experts at AccuWeather.

Change your routine Are you a morning bather? Experts say that if you suffer from outdoor allergies, you would be wise to switch to evening showers. This will rid your hair and skin of pollen, so you don’t bring it to bed with you. No matter what time of day you shampoo and scrub, you’ll want to wash your linens in hot water, to remove as much pollen as possible.

FOR ADVERTISING INFORMATION CALL (623) 594-1630

An adventure Whether it’s spectating a baseball game or enjoying the thrills of an amusement park, the spring season is the perfect time to gift kids and family with an experience they will remember long after they’d have unwrapped their last pieces of candy. Find an activity everybody will love and make a special day of it.

Fun movie night If you’re looking for a gift the whole family can enjoy together, a projector to create an at-home theater experience is a good solution.

Art kit For budding creative types, consider an art kit. From Easter egg-decorating—if you want to stick with the seasonal theme—to beading to sand art bottles, there is no shortage of arts and crafts kits for children of all ages that make great gifts.

Bling Lots of kids want to look their best. Help them accessorize with a timepiece or a jewelry making kit.

This Easter, think a bit outside the candy box. There are plenty of fun and creative gift alternatives out there that will make a memorable impact.

Stay in-the-know From dry winds blowing tree pollen into the air, to wet, rainy days causing dust mites and mold to thrive, weather has a huge impact on the spread of allergens and, subsequently, the way you feel, say experts.

Protect Indoor Air Fresh air may sound appealing, but opening your car and home’s windows is a fast-track to a high pollen count indoors. For a breeze, stick to air conditioning, as fans can kick up dust and pollen into the air.

Consider your wardrobe For those times when you must be out and about on high-pollen count days, wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to protect yourself. A scarf or mask over your mouth and nose can be useful when symptoms are severe.

When you get home, be sure to remove outerwear, including shoes, in your mud room or foyer so you don’t track allergens throughout the house, particularly in areas where you sleep and spend the most time.

This spring, don’t let sniffles, sneezing and wheezing get the best of you. For a more comfortable season, check the weather often and take proper precautions.

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.”
