This month, I am especially thankful for my family. I married my best friend, Stephen Whitton, on October 2nd, and am blessed to have gained a son, daughter, daughterin-love, and three amazing grandchildren.

We had an impromptu ceremony with family at our sides—I haven’t stopped smiling since.

PET STRESS

PAW’S CORNER

Help with dog anxiety

Q. My small mixed-breed dog has terrible anxiety, especially when I leave the house or during thunderstorms. I have to either put a cone on her or socks on her paws so she doesn’t chew them bloody during these episodes.

Jesse Olmedo, MD

General Dermatology · Mohs Surgery Cosmetic Procedures · Skin Cancer Screening

A: There is no “magic bullet” to quickly cure a dog of an anxiety disorder. Your vet can diagnose the problem, and can help you determine different ways to treat her. Medication can be a big help in easing anxiety symptoms, but you also want to look for causes of your dog’s anxiety, and trigger points that set off her paw-chewing. Thunderstorms are one trigger; your leaving the house is another. There are a number of different techniques, both training or interaction, to turn off those triggers. While there’s not room in this column to list them, do some quick research and look for dog training manuals that stress positive reinforcement. Ask the vet and your friends about local dog trainers or specialists who treat pet anxiety issues.

Welcome to the season of increased scam telemarketer phone calls, either political or holiday related!

Call 888-382-1222 from the phone you want to block and follow the steps. Or go online to www.donotcall.gov and read the info.

A word of warning: If you register your number online, you are also required to enter an email address. They’ll send you a note asking you to click a link in that email to finish the registration to stop unwanted calls—if they stop.

Blocking scammers on the registry doesn’t take care of the whole problem.

The FAQ on the site says that certain types of calls are allowed: political, charitable, debt collection, informational and surveys.

Think about the holes those leave. Still, some help is better than none, so it’s probably worth making the effort to cut down on the unwanted calls.

GRATITUDE CHECK

It’s that time of year when many people begin thinking about the things they are thankful for. Although it’s nice to count your blessings on Thanksgiving, being thankful throughout the year could have tremendous benefits on your quality of life.

Cultivating gratitude doesn’t cost any money and doesn’t take much time, but the benefits are enormous. Research reveals gratitude can have these benefits:

FREE SERVICE CALL

1.Gratitude opens the door to more relationships.

Not only does saying “thank you” constitute good manners but showing appreciation can help you win new friends.

2. Gratitude improves physical health.

Grateful people experience fewer aches and pains and they report feeling healthier than other people. Not surprisingly, grateful

people are also more likely to take care of their health.

They exercise more often and are more likely to attend regular check-ups with their doctors, which is likely to contribute to further longevity.

3. Gratitude improves psychological health.

Gratitude reduces a multitude of toxic emotions, ranging from envy and resentment to frustration and regret.

Research confirms that gratitude effectively increases happiness and reduces depression.

4. Grateful people sleep better.

Writing in a gratitude journal improves sleep, spend just 15 minutes jotting down a few grateful sentiments before bed, and you may sleep better and longer.

5. Gratitude improves self-esteem.

Studies have shown that gratitude reduces social comparisons. Rather than becoming resentful toward people who have more money or better jobs – which is a major factor in reduced self-esteem— grateful people are able to appreciate other people’s accomplishments.

6. Gratitude increases mental strength.

For years, research has shown gratitude not only reduces stress, but it may also play a major role in overcoming trauma.

Recognizing all you have to be thankful for – even during the worst times of your life – fosters resilience.

1. Duke Ellington.

Stevie Wonder’s 1977 hit was a tribute to the Duke, who had died in 1974. Other jazz greats like Louis Armstrong and Glenn Miller were also mentioned in the lyrics.

2. Boxcar Willie (born Lecil Travis Martin) was a country music singer and writer of hobo music. At the same time, he was a flight engineer in the U.S. Air Force.

3. The Moody Blues, in 1967. And yes, songwriter, Justin Hayward, penned the song after receiving a set of satin sheets. When it was released, the song only went to No. 103 on the charts. Four years later it climbed to No. 1 on the Top 100.

4. “Fame,” in 1975.

5. “This Time I’m In It For Love,” by Player, in 1978. Player’s version made it to the Top 10 charts, while previous versions (by Austin Roberts and Cyndi Grecco in 1976 and 1977) didn’t chart at all.

VETERANS POST

The Department of Veterans Affairs recently released its 2022 National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report.

Suicide numbers are down, they say, for the second year in a row.

At the same time, they announced the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grants, a program that gives money to community organizations to create suicide prevention programs, and authorized $174 million to be handed out over the course of three years to provide those services.

Staff Sgt. Parker Gordon Fox, for whom the grant is named, was a sniper instructor at Fort Benning, Georgia, who died of suicide in 2020 at age 25.

The list of groups that received the grants is impressive, with most receiving the maximum amount of $750,000.

Declining suicide numbers are no guarantee that veterans are under less stress. In 2020, there were 6,146 veteran suicides. That year had the lowest number since 2006, but we need to look at overall rates to see what it really means.

While veteran suicide numbers fell by 9.7% between 2018 and 2020, the civilian numbers fell by 5.5%.

INSPIRE

Thankfulness Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.

Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling.

Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.

Henry Van Dyke

Gratitude helps you to grow and expand; gratitude brings joy and laughter into your life, and into the lives of all those around you.

William Arthur Ward

Eileen Caddy

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

I am happy because I’m grateful. I choose to be grateful. That gratitude allows me to be happy.

Will Arnett

Albert Schweitzer

Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have, the more likely you will have even more to express gratitude for.

Zig Ziglar

Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.

John Milton

HERE’S A TIP

411

Use clothespins to reseal bread bags instead of twist ties.

When sending cards, attach a return address label to the back so they don’t have to search for the address if they wish to respond.

For dusting, use a clean tube sock and spray with furniture polish, then dust away! It’s easier to get into nooks and crannies.

Now’s a great time to start weatherstripping!

Check and re-caulk windows. Caulk along baseboards to deter drafts. Add insulation to electrical outlets and under sinks around plumbing.

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.”

LOVE

KEYS TO YOUR RELATIONSHIP What you need to know for joyful, lasting love Happiness within a relationship is hard to define. Not only is each relationship different, but within each relationship, each person defines happiness in an individual way. Some people view happiness as a peaceful conflict-free life.

For some, happiness involves a tremendous amount of fun, great intimacy or lots of laughter.

Whatever your definition, it directly correlates to your expectations, desires, wants and needs—and those things can change over time.

What holds constant are four specific behaviors and attributes laid out below that can almost guarantee the likelihood of longterm success and happiness in a relationship. If you work toward incorporating these keys into your daily life, you will experience greater joy and less conflict in your relationship.

34

THE GRAND SEASON • NOVEMBER 2022

1. Respect

Every successful relationship is built on a foundation of respect. Respect means caring about your partner’s wants and needs, and always taking them into account before speaking or acting. The expectation is that your partner will follow the same guidelines.

2. Priority

If you want to build a stronger positive relationship, let your partner know that he or she is a priority. Commit time and energy to talking and addressing each other’s wants and needs. Be sure that the two of you have “quality time” alone to connect and enjoy each other’s company.

3. Loving Gestures

The concept that “actions speak louder than words” is an important one when it comes to relationships. It is not enough to simply feel that you love someone, you must also show that you love that person. Use kind words, be physically affectionate, leave little love notes around the house…whether it’s a verbal gesture or a material one, make sure to let your partner know that you love him or her.

4. Focus on the Positives

Even the best of relationships have challenges and even the most wonderful of partners can have less-than-stellar moments. When times are tough, those who are seeking a happy relationship will combat the negative with a positive. Reverse your thinking to remind yourself that your mate has great qualities and that you are happy to be together.

HOLLYWOOD HAPPENINGS What punishment fits “the slap seen around the world”? We all saw Will Smith smack Chris Rock during the 94th Academy Awards.

What would have happened if he punched him? The Academy banished Smith from everything for 10 years, including the next Oscars ceremony. Smith admitted, “There’s no part of me that thinks that was the right way to behave in that moment.”

THE GRAND SEASON • NOVEMBER 2022

Netflix put his next film “Fast and Loose” in turnaround immediately, but AppleTV+, who won the Best Picture Award for “CODA,” had nothing slated for this year’s Oscars and moved Will Smith’s “Emancipation” (which they bought in 2020), from 2023 to Dec. 2 of this year to qualify for the Oscars. In “Emancipation,” Smith plays a runaway slave who survives the Louisiana swamps and escapes to freedom by outwitting cold-blooded hunters.
