This quote resonates with me because it seems like since the pandemic started, most people’s communication skills have disintegrated.

Perhaps it’s the lack of daily interaction that has caused many to focus on their phone and social media.

THE DREAM VACATION

TRAVEL

Things have changed

The pandemic has changed the way we work, learn and socialize, so it’s no surprise it’s also changed the way we think about travel. One thing is certain, as the vaccine rollout continues, globetrotters worldwide are eager to return to their regularly scheduled travel.

A new survey reveals not only a widespread desire to travel, but changes in the kind of trips we wish to take. 62 percent of Americans said they would travel for pleasure and fun pre-pandemic but, future trips will likely have an increased emphasis on wellness and seeing family and friends—they’ll also be closer to home. Indeed, the very concept of the “dream vacation” has changed, with the typical idea of a big trip or vacation planned ahead and saved for on hiatus. With certain travel restrictions making it difficult to plan in advance, and the separation caused by lockdowns, today, the number one choice for a “dream vacation” among survey respondents was a chance to spend “time with the family and friends I’ve missed.” But is travel a good idea right now? With proper planning and precautions, local getaways and weekend road trips can be enjoyed safely. Here are a few ideas to get you excited about travel right now: See Every State Check all 48 contiguous U.S. states off your road trip bucket list.

Explore National Parks From the spectacular red rock formations of the Southwest to the breathtaking sunrises of the Shenandoah, America is beautiful. Explore the country’s wild side via its National Park system. A U.S. Park Pass makes it easy and affordable to visit over 2,000 federal recreation sites nationwide.

Go “Glamping” Outdoor adventures are popular right now for a reason, giving you a way to get away while still socially distancing. But if you’re not much of a camper, “glamping” can be a terrific alternative. A combination of glamour and camping, accommodations vary from yurts to treehouses to safari tents and tend to offer all the amenities of a hotel.

YOU

ARE YOU LISTENING?

You may believe you listen to other people when they’re talking—but do you really? Are you engaged in the conversation, or are you multitasking as you scroll through Facebook? Do you allow yourself to digest what they’re saying, or are you mentally preparing your response? Being a good listener is a skill that requires practice. Do you want to be a better listener? Start by working on these tips:

Ask open-ended questions

If you’ve ever tried to chat with someone who gave you one-word answers, you understand the frustration of not being able to keep a conversation going. Part of learning how to listen is using what you hear to then explore new ways of asking the same questions. When trying to navigate a problem—from a missed teetime to a sink full of dirty dishes—asking open-ended questions can help someone feel heard.

Focus on compassion

When you seek to listen, make a conscious effort to be empathetic toward another person. Maybe it’s understanding why your partner feels neglected at work and is taking it out on you. Whatever the case, it’s essential to consider every conversation to be an act of compassion.

Make time for 1:1 conversations

While some people thrive in group situations, others turn into wallflowers who pull away. As a manager at work, or the ringleader of your household, scheduling 1:1 time with each colleague or family member will improve your listening abilities. This dedicated ‘meeting’ is a time where you can understand how each individual communicates.

Give your undivided attention.

When someone is talking to you, it’s time to clear the decks. This means, you’re only listening to them—either looking at them or zeroing in on their voice while chatting on the phone. Maybe you need to step away from your computer, put down your phone or turn off the TV. In short, you need to be fully present, so you can digest what they’re saying.

DIRECTIONS Make cake: Preheat oven to 350º, and grease and flour a 9”-x-13” cake pan.

Prepare yellow cake mix according to the box instructions. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare pudding: In a small bowl, whisk together pudding packets and milk until thick.

In another large bowl, beat cream, sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.

Using the handle tip of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cake.

Spread pudding mixture on top, and add with a layer of banana slices over pudding. Spread whipped cream on top and sprinkle all over with crushed and whole Nilla Wafers and more banana slices.

HOLLYWOOD HAPPENINGS

Here’s an interesting casting! Sandra Bullock, (56), romantically paired with Channing Tatum, (40), in “The Lost City of D.” She’s a reclusive romance novelist on a book tour with her cover model (Tatum), when they’re kidnapped and thrown into a cutthroat jungle. Sandra Bullock will also soon appear in “Bullet Train,” with Brad Pitt, Joey King, Lady Gaga and Michael Shannon. Channing Tatum is due in “Dog,” which he also co-directed, opening July 16.

Zac Efron, Russell Crowe and Bill Murray co-star in a film about Chick Donahue (Efron), who left New York in 1967 to bring beer to his Army buddies serving in Vietnam. Naturally, Zac will show off his superhero body as he hoists beer through the jungle, wearing shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. Even though it’s called “The Greatest Beer Run Ever,” you can expect big things since it’s being directed by “Green Book” Oscar-winner Peter Farrelly.

THE POWER OF WORDS

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

Any problem, big or small, within a family, always seems to start with bad communication.

Someone isn’t listening.

Emma Thompson

George Bernard Shaw

To communicate through silence is a link between the thoughts of man.

Marcel Marceau

Unknown

Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.

Communication - the human connection - is the key to personal and career success.

Paul J. Meyer

A Family Business with Friendly Service Since 1970

I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.

SPRING CLEANING

MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST

Help for homeowners

Before the weather becomes too hot, here are a few maintenance tasks every homeowner should consider completing. Use this checklist as your guide: Outdoor Upkeep • Wash window exteriors for a better view.

• Clean gutters and downspouts to ensure proper water flow.

• Get your patio or deck in tip-top shape for outdoor living. Sweep and hose it down. Remove patio furnishings from storage. Wipe down surfaces and vacuum cushions.

• Inspect lawn equipment and tools for needed maintenance, repair and fuel refills.

• Mow the lawn. Trim the edges.

• After the next rainfall, inspect your yard for standing water, which can damage your home and invite mosquitoes.

• Clean your filters regularly.

HVAC Maintenance • Change HVAC filters monthly. Dirty filters make equipment work harder and cause more wear and tear on equipment. They also increase your energy bill and lessen indoor air quality.

• Have a technician give your home’s cooling system a pre-season tune-up so that everything is running efficiently by the time warmer weather arrives. You know the “personality” of your cooling unit best, so be prepared to provide the technician with important information. No fact is insignificant, as it may help them diagnose and fix a problem.

Safety • Carbon monoxide, often referred to as the “silent killer,” is odorless, colorless and tasteless. Protect your family by changing the batteries on your carbon monoxide detectors and ensuring you have a detector on each level of your home.

DIRECTIONS Combine all ingredients in a blender and pulse until thoroughly mixed. Serve in margarita glasses rimmed with salt (dip rim in water or lime juice, then dip the rim in a shallow plate covered in salt). Garnish with a lime slice or fresh strawberry.

HERE’S A TIP

TIP 1 Use lip balm to help a tight ring slide more easily off of a finger.

TIP 2 If you have some sticky gum that’s stuck on fabric, it might be best to set it aside and wait for it to harden. Or, if you can’t wait that long, try using a piece of duct tape. Press the tape over the gum, then lift off from the side.

You can repeat this process to pull up all of the gum.

TIP 3 If you’re reattaching a button to shorts or pants, try using dental floss, the unwaxed kind. It’s much stronger, and can hold the button better than regular thread. Use a marker to darken it if the color is an issue.

TIP 4 Store brooms either handle down or on a hook that allows the bristles to suspend over the floor.

When brooms rest their bristles on the floor, it bends them and breaks the ends. Broken ends make it hard for the broom to work efficiently.

TIP 5 Using cold water for laundering protects colors and uses less energy.

MOMENTS IN TIME

WHAT HAPPENED IN HISTORY

Big events that occurred during the month of May

May 10, 1869 The presidents of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific railroads meet in Promontory, Utah, and drive a ceremonial last spike into a rail line that connects their railroads. This makes transcontinental railroad travel possible for the first time in U.S. history.

May 11, 1934 A massive dust storm sends millions of tons of topsoil flying across the parched Great Plains to the East Coast and as far away as ships 300 miles offshore. Farmers

had pushed their fields to the limit, plowing under more and more grassland.

May 13, 1985 In Philadelphia, police evacuate people from their homes to prepare for an operation against MOVE, a radical cult group. The government gave $1.5 million to three survivors of the raid.

WE DO WEEDS!

May 15, 1942 Lt. Ronald Reagan applies for reassignment to the Army Air Force. As a public relations officer, the future president produced military training, morale and propaganda films.

LOVE

SPEAK EASY

Build your communication skills

Even the happiest couples need help communicating. When life gets busy and you feel stressed, you often lose sight of the person that you are married to. Though you love each other, sometimes you forget to talk. You may be mentally drained or just need some alone time, and it’s so easy to take each other for granted in those moments.

1. Respect one another.

Talking to each other shouldn’t be a chore. It can be fun, it can be enjoyable, and you can get back to a time where the conversation was easy and seamless. Here are some communication tips that can help you connect again.

One of the most helpful tips is to tell each other you love one another more often.

Take the time to look your spouse in the eyes and say, “I love you.”

This sounds like it should be a given, but far too many of us lose respect for one another along the way. It may be due to a significant reason, or just because you take each other for granted. If you can make each other’s needs a priority, communication will be easier when you prioritize one another.

2. Send a love note.

How much does it make you smile when you get a love note from your spouse?

Even if it’s been awhile, send a text to say you’re thinking about them. Leave them a love note in the morning out of nowhere, and for no particular reason at all.

3. Say “I love you” every day.

4. Talk about things that make you both happy.

If you love talking about current events or political views, then do it. If it makes you both happy to talk about your jobs or the industry or the stock market, then go for it. There is no right or wrong here, just find some sort of common ground to ignite the conversations.

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.”
