FROM THE EDITOR Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year! There’s something about the decorations, music and memories that make me smile. While most people dream of a white Christmas, I personally prefer the warm glow of cacti dressed up in lights.

I know this holiday season will be different for all of us. Instead of hosting huge gatherings with those you love, due to COVID we will all be celebrating in a simpler setting. It’s my hope that you and yours stay healthy this holiday season.

YOU

IN A FUNK?

Things that you can do, if you’re feeling a little down If you don’t feel like yourself, or are feeling down because your hopes for the holidays have changed, try these ideas to boost your mood.

1. Take a deep breath. If you feel like you’re losing control, it can help calm you down to focus on your own breathing.

2. Talk with somebody else about what’s going on in their life. Hearing about what’s happening to others may help you tune out a bit, and offer a little perspective on your own issues.

3. Spend some time with a pet. Whether it’s yours, or someone else’s, petting an animal can really help improve your mood.

4. Take care of some plants. Water them, trim their leaves, repot them in fresh soil... it can feel empowering to nurture something, but it’s also nice to connect with nature, even if it’s in a small way.

5. Drink a glass of water. You might be dehydrated. When was the last time you drank a glass of water just for the sake of drinking it?

6. Take a different route home. It’s an easy way to get out of your routine, and you might find something new along the way.

7. Put on your favorite article of clothing.

It could be your comfy pajamas, or your sequined jacket ... what’s most important is that it makes you feel really good.

8. Make a playlist with the songs that you loved as a teenager, and enjoy the nostalgia.

9. Try to put into writing exactly what is making you feel like this.

Be a couple first

Socializing is a big part of the festive season, but if you neglect your relationship, it will only drive a wedge between you both.

Rather than using the busyness of the holidays be an excuse to put your relationship on the back burner, use it as a time to rekindle your love and focus on spending real time together.

LOVE

THRIVE

Prioritize your relationship.

Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year for couples.

Add in the art of balancing the expectations of a major holiday, combined with the financial impact of a rough year can take a toll on even the strongest of relationships. This year, instead of focusing on what you need to do for others, take time to focus on building your relationship. Here are some tips to help you:

Change the routine

We’re creatures of pattern and comfort, but when things aren’t going so well, it can be worse to go by the way you’ve always done things. Your yearly routine might actually be doing you more harm than good, especially if you are focusing less on quality time with each other and more on the ‘experience’ of Christmas. Rather than making plans to do the same mundane routine you always do, why not change it up and plan things you as a family can look forward to.

Communication is vital

Do an activity you both enjoy or recreate a special date night you had – by rediscovering what you love about each other, it can make the festive time easier to handle. They say there is strength in numbers! Talking to your partner openly about what you both want to achieve this holiday season, as well as figuring out a schedule together, will allow you to be on the same page while avoiding any Christmas Day arguments about miscommunication.

Be grateful for the ordinary

Sometimes we have a certain vision in our head, but it doesn’t always work out; rather than magnifying things that are going wrong, focus on what’s going right. Meeting the holiday season with gratitude will only make it that much more magical, even if nothing in your life has changed.

Christmas is a fantastic time to be with loved ones and those who matter most. But it can also be hard for those who go without. Appreciate your partner, children, family and friends this festive season – the greatest gift of all is having someone to share memories with.

SICK SEASON IS HERE

FLU

Tips to keep your household healthy

Flu season is here, and amid the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s even more important than usual to take steps to avoid getting sick. Here are five top tips to help your household stay healthy:

The good news is that you don’t need harsh chemicals.

3. Load up on veggies: A nutritious diet can help keep you vital during flu season. Pack a range of immunity-boosting vitamins, minerals and antioxidants into just one meal with a hearty stew of potatoes, carrots, green leafy vegetables, broccoli, beans and lentils. To eliminate pesticides, wax and soil from produce, include a vegetable wash in your meal prep routine.

4. Supplement your diet: Consider incorporating a dietary supplement into your family’s daily routine that contains vitamin C, zinc and other immunity-boosters.

1. Wash hands regularly: Make sure every member of the household washes their hands regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds each time. This is especially important to do after getting home, before preparing food and after using the bathroom. Even with regular hand-washing, it’s still important to avoid touching your mouth, nose and eyes.

5. Practice healthy habits: Getting regular exercise, staying hydrated and getting plenty of shut-eye are all proven ways to protect your health.

Be sure to practice these healthy habits.

2. Guard against germs: Cold and flu viruses can survive on household surfaces long enough for germs to spread. However, cleaning surfaces with an effective disinfectant can help put a stop to germ transfer.

As COVID-19 continues to place substantial demands on hospitals and healthcare resources, staying healthy and protected against the flu is especially vital. Take steps to boost your immunity and stop the spread of germs.

FAMILY

STRONG CONNECTIONS

Keys to healthy family relationships Your family is the foundation on which much of your happiness, success and physical and emotional well-being is based. If your family relationships are unstable, that can cause a ripple effect that affects work, friends, finances and even your health. The feelings of connection and security that come with strong family relationships can give you the lift you need to endure life’s challenges and meet your goals with confidence and courage. Here are some ways healthy families grow: 1. They value investment in the family. Anything that we truly care about requires investment of time and energy. Make sure that you and all of your family members make a concerted effort to spend time together, think about one another and work toward being a strong and happy unit. Plan family days where each family member is responsible for one component of the day.

2. They work on good communication skills.

Communicating takes effort; it is not just about having a conversation. Focus on listening and understanding what your family member is trying to say. Carve out time to work on

communication skills by putting away cellular phones and other devices at the dinner table, so you can interact with one another.

3. They know the value of fun and laughter. All of us know that happiness can be the best medicine physically, psychologically and spiritually. Laughter and fun are guaranteed pathways to happiness. Plan time for your family to do shared activities that everyone enjoys.

4. They establish traditions, values and goals, and work toward achieving them. One of the greatest ways to connect is to have shared traditions, values and goals. If you have already developed some, do your best to continue what you started. Sit down to discuss and reinforce values, invent new traditions and plan how you’ll accomplish goals together.

ROAD TRIP

DRIVE

Take a break and catch the view Below are a couple of scenic drives within the bounds of metro Phoenix. Each will give you a different perspective of the city and maybe teach you something new along the way.

Dobbins Lookout Sometimes the end of the road is anticlimactic. It’s just a place where you have to turn around. But not every road is punctuated by a period; some end in exclamation marks.

Such is the case with the road leading to Dobbins Lookout.

All you have to do is get your car to Central Avenue and head south. Central Avenue ends at South Mountain Park, a 16,000acre municipal recreational facility that is free to the public. After you pass through the park’s main entrance gate, Central Avenue becomes Summit Road, which leads to Dobbins Lookout.

The 15-minute drive from the base of the mountain to the lookout is filled with curves and hidden bends (caution: cyclists and hikers ahead), but around every corner is a stunning view of the city.

Once you reach the summit, you can park your car and enjoy what is arguably the best vantage point in the city.

Dobbins Lookout sits at 2,330 feet and gives you the feeling you’re rubbing shoulders with the clouds. The view not only includes the Valley floor below, but a panoramic sweep that travels from the Estrella Mountains in the west to the Superstition Mountains in the east.

The Apache Trail The Apache Trail is legendary because it was once considered the most treacherous stretch of highway in the country. Today, the welltraveled road still requires some adept driving—the speed limit is 15 mph—but the narrow and tight turns deliver jaw-dropping portals to canyons, cliff dwellings, jutting rock formations, sparking blue lakes and dense desert flora.

The 40-mile Apache Trail, which links Apache Junction to Globe and circles the Tonto National Forest, is best explored as a daytrip, but it’s a doable as a half-day outing. The trail starts at the intersection of Arizona State Route 88 and Idaho Road in Apache Junction, about 35 miles east of downtown Phoenix.

There are many scenic pullouts and stop-worthy attractions along the Apache Trail. Among the first you encounter is Goldfield Ghost Town, which offers a tour of a former gold mine. From there you travel through Lost Dutchman State Park and the Superstition Mountains, then past Saguaro Lake, Canyon Lake, Apache Lake and Theodore Roosevelt Dam (at one time the world’s largest masonry dam at almost 300 feet tall). You also can visit cliff dwellings before ending in Globe, a former copper-and-silver boom town where historical buildings remain from its mining heydays.

If you don’t feel worlds away from the big city by this point on the Apache Trail, you will soon after: Because beyond Tortilla Flat, the road is unpaved. But a four-wheel-drive vehicle isn’t required to complete the journey—you just need gas in the tank and a willingness to keep rolling on.

VETERANS POST

Starting in the summer of 2022, we’ll have 988 as a direct line for suicide prevention and mental health crises.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline will still be working at 1-800273-8255 (1-800-273TALK). As different parts of the country come online, those calling the new number will be transferred over to the crisis line, but the old number will continue to work.

Veterans who call either number should press 1 after dialing to reach the Veterans Crisis Line. They also can chat online at www.veteranscrisisline.net or text 838255. There’s also support for the deaf or hard of hearing at TTY 1-800-799-4889.

When you read the nationwide stats, you know how important the crisis lines are. Two years ago, the hotline answered over 2 million calls, averaging over 180,000 calls per month.

Chats are used as well, averaging 8,500 per month.

The support for veterans in crisis is free. To see the signs of crisis go to www.veteranscrisisline.net and then make the call if needed.

HERE’S A TIP

TIP 1 If your toothpaste is almost done, just snip off the top and dip your brush in the container. There’s usually more in the tube.

TIP 2 If someone has written on your dry erase board with a permanent marker, try writing over it with a dry erase marker.

Sometimes this works to remove the permanent marker.

TIP 3 Wrap a bit of tape sticky side out around a straightened-out paper clip. You can GENTLY put it in the headphone jack to get out lint that is otherwise inaccessible.

Also, keep a lint-free cloth that comes with glasses handy to clean the screen of your smartphone.

TIP 4 If you get a scratch in a white enamel sink or other white enamel surface, try touching it up with white fingernail polish.

TIP 5 Don’t just move dust around with that feather duster. Get a microfiber cleaning cloth instead.

It catches dust and holds it.

December 7, 1941 A swarm of 360 Japanese warplanes descends on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in a ferocious assault. The surprise attack struck a critical blow against the U.S. Pacific fleet and drew the United States irrevocably into World War II.

BELL AIR CONDITIONING, LLC

a special thanks to our community Since 2007, Bell Air Conditioning, LLC has been the preferred heating and air conditioning company in the active living communities of the northwest valley.

Owner, Dan Bell says, “We specialize in service and replacement of residential and light commercial heating and cooling equipment.” Bell Air Conditioning, LLC is a Trane Comfort Specialist Dealer.

With over 25 years of industry experience, Dan started Bell Air Conditioning, LLC 13 years ago with a truck and $5,000. Today, Bell Air Conditioning, LLC has over 20 employees and is one of the largest Trane dealers in the state. Dan credits the success of his company to their commitment to superior customer service and his team of highly trained technicians.

“Although we continue to grow, we have no intention of going valley-wide”, Dan says. “We have referred out hundreds of out-ofarea customers because our primary focus is in the senior communities within the northwest valley. Staying local and serving the Sun Cities and surrounding areas allows us to maintain the highest level of service because we are near-by and can be to our customers’ homes when they need us.

We field calls all of the time

where customers had chosen to hire a contractor based 40 miles away in Phoenix or the east valley to replace their unit, and then when the unit goes down under that contractor’s warranty, that company either can’t or won’t respond. These homeowners find themselves stuck. They realize that it would have been better to have used a locally based Heating and Air Conditioning company in the first place. It is because of these customer stories that we truly want to stay LOCAL. It is better for the customer!” This is just one example of Bell Air Conditioning, LLC’s customer-focused approach.

Customer, Lana says, “I hired Bell Air Conditioning to replace my old HVAC unit with a new Trane unit. From beginning to end, they took exceptional care of me. The office staff was very polite and friendly. Service was prompt.

They messaged me when someone was on the way to my home. The technician was very courteous and carefully explained everything to me before and after the install was complete. My home was left clean and the new AC is working great! I would highly recommend Bell Air

Conditioning!”

Bell Air Conditioning, LLC has professionals to take care of anything you need to keep your climate comfortable and units operating efficiently.

Whether you want your system maintained by their

NATE certified service technicians, or replaced by their factory-trained technicians, you can be assured Bell Air Conditioning, LLC is the right company for your job!

Dan says, “Sometimes, a replacement part is all you need to get your unit up and running again. You can trust our technicians to provide you with the facts to get your heating and cooling units working right”.

If your AC unit needs repair or replacing, Bell Air Conditioning, LLC should be your first call. Their impeccable reputation of servicing customers’ needs quickly and in the most cost-effective means

possible, makes them the preferred local heating and air conditioning company in the northwest valley—and more specifically in the active living communities.

Dan wanted to be sure to let The Grand Season readers

know that he is appreciative of your contribution to the growth of his business. He emphasizes, “With record breaking growth year after year, we want to thank our retirement communities for their support and patronage.

Your constant referrals to friends and family show us we are doing things right. Your recommendations mean a lot to us! We are grateful for the opportunity to serve you now and in the future!”

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.”
