SQUISH & CRUNCH ARE NOT CARPET SOUNDS BUT SOFT IS!!!

Hello my name is Paige O’Dowd and all my friends thought that I was crazy getting into such a male-dominated field but my answer to them was who knows clean better than a woman. If you don’t believe that, try to remember what your spouse’s home looked like before you married them.

I’m a mother of six and a proud owner of nine rescue dogs, so I know clean. I promise I will deliver a clean like you’ve never seen with the safest and most effective method ever developed.

GROWTH

HAPPY HABITS Steps to Grow Your Happiness

Happiness is circular. Happy people have happy habits, which, in turn, makes them happier. Here’s a list of habits that have a high chance of giving you a happiness boost.

1. Savor the moment. Look around your

environment and take note of one thing that you often take for granted. Bring mindful attention and awareness to it. Try to engage all your senses. Notice the positive feelings and associations that go with it.

2. Connect with others. We are inherently

social and have a basic need for belonging.

Having social support is a buffer in times of stress. Connecting with others can also help put problems in perspective; others can give you useful feedback.

3. Share gratitude and love. Express

gratitude to those who have made a difference in your life. Send a card. Write a letter. Visit in person.

4. Have fun and laugh. Laughter has been

shown to lower blood pressure, reduce certain stress hormones, defend against respiratory infections, increase memory and learning, improve alertness, and increase creativity.

5. Simplify. Too many things, too many

activities, too many choices—really too much of anything—can cause stress and decrease happiness.

INSPIRE

DON’T WORRY, BE HAPPY

Life will bring you pain all by itself.

Your responsibility is to create joy.

Milton H. Erickson

Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties. Helen Keller

Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections. Gerard Way

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. Mahatma Gandhi Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

Albert Schweitzer

Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you. Ralph Marston

Happiness doesn’t depend on what we have, but it does depend on how we feel toward what we have. We can be happy with little and miserable with much. William D. Hoard

Until you are happy with who you are, you will never be happy with what you have. Zig Ziglar Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom. Marcel Proust

LOVE

CULTIVATE HAPPINESS It’s no secret that marriage takes work. After all, we’re only human, and humans make mistakes, and have bad days. Nevertheless, some couples are able to foster happy, healthy, great marriages that actually do last a lifetime. A recent survey asked the happily married to reveal their secrets to success. Here’s what they had to say:

1 Be nice.

Choose kindness whenever you can — you should be AT LEAST as nice to your spouse as you would a stranger or as you were when you started dating.

2 Say “I love you” as much as possible.

Overuse “I love you”.

Seriously. Just say it and MEAN IT. This lets your partner know that you care.

Look at them and say, “I love 18 THE GRAND SEASON • OCTOBER 2021

you so much, you mean the world to me, I appreciate all the things you do for me and our family.”

3 Be honest.

Be honest about the things that make you mad, and don’t sweat the small stuff.

4 Small tokens of love go a long way.

Frequent demonstrations, in the form of gifts and expressions of affection show your emotional attachment.

5 Cherish each other.

Don’t forget how important the little things are, like a hug or a compliment. Don’t take each other for granted.

6 Build a strong foundation of friendship.

You have to be friends. Your husband or wife should be someone that you’d want to hang out with. Of course, you

have to have the sexual aspect, but that’s not enough to sustain a relationship. You’re going to go through hard times and you need someone who you want to spend your time with.

7 Know that relationships are a two way street.

Be honest about what you want and need, and listen to your spouse about what they want and need.

8 Lastly, no marriage is perfect—and that’s okay.

Understand that nothing is perfect forever. There are going to be disagreements.

There will be times when your partner says or does something that hurts you.

People in happy relationships will talk about it and work through it. Those in bad relationships will let it stew until it becomes a bigger problem.

YOU

FORGIVE YOURSELF

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 who is asking for forgiveness. But when these are the words you say quietly to yourself, they can be crippling. Some of the harshest words you may ever hear are the words you say in your heart: “I’ll never forgive myself.”

Forgiving yourself can be hard work, but it’s worth it. Here are some tips to consider when you can’t forgive yourself:

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 that you have that goal. It’s 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 26 THE GRAND SEASON • OCTOBER 2021

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.

HEALTH

GET HAPPY

Happiness is good for your health

Happiness and good health go hand-in-hand. Indeed, scientific studies have found that happiness can make our hearts healthier, our immune systems stronger, and our lives longer. If you need some extra motivation to get happier, check out the ways happiness has been linked to good health.

1. Happiness protects your heart

Love and happiness may not actually originate in the heart, but they are good for it. Researchers have found that happiness predicts a lower heart rate and blood pressure. In the study, participants rated their happiness over 30 times in one day and then again three years later. The initially happiest participants had a lower heart rate on follow-up (about six beats slower per minute), and the happiest participants during the follow-up had better blood pressure.

2. Happiness strengthens your immune system

Do you know a grumpy person who always seems to be getting sick? That may be no coincidence: Research has found a link between happiness and a stronger immune system.

In an experiment, 350 adults volunteered to get exposed to the common cold. Before exposure, researchers called them six times in two weeks and asked how much they had experienced nine positive emotions—such as feeling energetic, pleased, and calm—that

30

THE GRAND SEASON • OCTOBER 2021

day. After five days in quarantine, the participants with the most positive emotions were less likely to have developed a cold.

3. Happiness combats stress

Stress is not only upsetting on a psychological level, but also triggers biological changes in our hormones and blood pressure. Happiness seems to temper these effects, or at least help us recover more quickly.

4. Happy people have fewer aches and pains A recent study asked participants to rate their recent experience of positive emotions, then (five

weeks later) how much they had experienced negative symptoms like muscle strain, dizziness, and heartburn since the study began.

People who reported the highest levels of positive emotion at the beginning actually became healthier over the course of the study, and ended up healthier than their unhappy counterparts.

5. Happiness combats disease and disability Happiness is associated with improvements in more severe, long-term conditions as well, not just shorter-term aches and pains.

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.”

COUCH THEATER

Queenpins (R)

We can stop complaining that there are no unique ideas for movies and everything is a remake. This based-on-a-truestory comedy starring Kristen Bell and Kirby Howell-Baptiste is all about the intriguing and exciting world of extreme couponing! But not just everyday couponing, the plot soon delves into a multimillion-dollar counterfeit coupon scam started by two best friends who cheated corporations and attempted to pad the pockets of fellow budget-conscious housewives.

The Problem With Jon Stewart

Six years after vacating his host position on “The Daily Show,” Jon Stewart is making a return to television. Some may question if we really need another nighttime political and social commentary show.

The answer is a resounding YES, because it’s Jon Stewart.

In this new series, each hour-long episode will focus on a single topic, with new episodes airing every two weeks. In addition to wellknown current affairs, topics will also include advocacy work on which Stewart has focused his attention over the past years while he was out of the spotlight. (AppleTV)

Can you believe Macaulay Culkin turned 41 on Aug. 26, and that the star of the “Home Alone” franchise became the father of a son on April 5?

He met girlfriend Brenda Song—of Disney Channel’s “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody” (2005-08) and “The Suite Life on Deck” (2008-11)—when they starred together in “Changeland” (2019), and they’ve been together ever since. And miracle of miracles, Culkin’s career is reborn too, and not because of his cameo in “Home Sweet Home Alone,” starring Ellie Kemper, Kenan Thompson and Chris Parnell, premiering Nov. 2 on Disney+.

That can’t compare with

when you spend $250 or more on any of our sun screens or rain gutters!

the starring role handed to him by Ryan Murphy in “American Horror Story: Double Feature,” which premiered Aug. 25. He was enticed to sign up when Murphy told him, “Your character has crazy erotic sex with Kathy Bates,” to which Culkin countered, “This sounds like the role I was born to play!”
