INSPIRE

FIRST THINGS FIRST

Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.

Oprah Love yourself first, and everything else falls in line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.

Lucille Ball To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

Oscar Wilde Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.

Anne Lamott Nourishing yourself in a way that helps you blossom in the direction you want to go is attainable, and you are worth the effort.

Deborah Day Life should be touched, not strangled. You’ve got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it.

Ray Bradbury Love yourself enough to set boundaries. Your time and energy are precious. You get to choose how you use it. You teach people how to treat you by deciding what you will and won’t accept.

Anna Taylor Don’t sacrifice yourself too much, because if you sacrifice too much there’s nothing else you can give and nobody will care for you.

Karl Lagerfeld As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

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.”

Q: I am due to have a mammogram in July, but around the same time I am supposed to have a chest CT as a follow-up to my chondrosarcoma cancer. I have a CT every other year, and an X-ray on the opposite years of both my affected arm and my lungs. Does a chest CT have the potential of showing a similar finding as a mammogram?

A: A mammogram is an X-ray that is designed specifically to look for abnormalities in breast tissue. Mammograms have been extensively studied and proven to reduce mortality in women ages 50-74 (outside these ages, there remains extreme controversy). CT scans are X-rays taken from many angles and then reconstructed in a computer to provide a look at many slices of the part of the body being looked at. A CT scanner can be set to emphasize bones or soft tissue, and work is ongoing now with CT scans designed specifically for breast abnormalities, so you still want both.

YOU

LOVE THY SELF

Don’t neglect the most important person in your life.

Do you know that you are special?

There is no other person in this world like you. You deserve to be loved not only by those around you, but by the most important person in your life — YOU. Practicing self-love can be challenging for many of us, especially in times when we face serious challenges. It’s not about being self-absorbed, it’s about getting in touch with ourselves, our well-being and our happiness.

Do yourself a favor, take a deep breath, give yourself a little hug and start practicing the following:

1. Start each day by telling yourself something really positive. How well you handled a situation, or how lovely you look today. Anything that will make you smile.

2. Fill your body with food and drink that nourishes it and makes it thrive.

3. Move that gorgeous body of yours every single day and learn to love the skin you’re in.

You can’t hate your way into loving yourself.

4. Don’t believe everything you think. There is an inner critic inside of you trying to keep you small and safe. The downside is this also stops you from living a full life.

Women are more likely to develop dry eyes due to hormonal changes caused by pregnancy, the use of oral contraceptives and menopause.

Dry eyes are a part of the natural aging process.

People with rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes and thyroid problems are more likely to have symptoms of dry eyes.

Certain medicines, including antihistamines, decongestants, blood pressure medications and antidepressants, can reduce tear production.

Exposure to smoke, wind and dry climates can increase tear evaporation resulting in dry eye symptoms. Failure to blink regularly, such as when staring at a computer screen for long periods of time, can also contribute to drying of the eyes.

Long-term use of contact lenses can be a factor in the development of dry eyes. Refractive eye surgeries, such as LASIK, can decrease tear production and contribute to dry eyes.

Dr. Brian O Baird 15003 W. Bell Rd. Ste 175 • Surprise, AZ 85374 480-907-0777 • WestValleyDryEye.com THE GRAND SEASON • JULY 2022

6. Stop the comparisons.

There is no one on this planet like you, so you cannot fairly compare yourself to someone else. The only person you should compare yourself to is you.

7. End all toxic relationships.

8. Celebrate your wins, no matter how big or small.

LOVE

APPRECIATION

Show your spouse you care

Do you appreciate your spouse every day? If you want your relationship to make it for the long haul, then you will learn that big gestures are nice, but it’s the little things that count. Never let an opportunity pass you by to tell someone how much they mean to you. If you need ways to help you appreciate your spouse more, then here are some ideas:

1. Say you love them every day.

Some people need to know how much they are loved and appreciated. As they pass by you, take time to tell them how you feel.

2. Leave love letters around your home.

If you want to show how much you appreciate your spouse, why not leave little love letters around the house. Using sticky notes are a great way to leave messages for them to find.

3. Offer massages.

Nothing feels better after a long day than a back and neck rub. You can take turns massaging each other’s feet, necks, and backs. It’s an excellent way to release tension from stress and feel the loving touch of the one who holds your heart.

4. Listen and communicate.

The best thing that you can do for your spouse is to listen and effectively communicate with them. Don’t interrupt when they’re trying to tell you about their day. Listen to every word they say,and validate their feelings.

5. Be playful.

Never lose that playfulness that you had with your spouse from the start. Help them cook dinner, put on some great music, and take a quick dance around the room.

6. Smile when they look at you.

Sometimes the best thing to do is to say nothing, but instead, offer them a look that says it all. When your lover looks at you, grin. Not just any smile, but you want a smile so deep and genuine that it lights up their eyes.

THE THE GRAND GRAND SEASON SEASON •• JULY JULY 2022 2022

HOLLYWOOD HAPPENINGS Great news! “Book Club 2: The Next Chapter” is currently shooting in Italy.

Diane Keaton (76), Jane Fonda (84), Candice Bergen (76) and Mary Steenburgen (69) have returned, as have Andy Garcia, Don Johnson and Craig T. Nelson.

But the men now have competition from Giancarlo Giannini, Hugh Quarshie and Vincent Riotta when the ladies take a long-desired trip to Italy, where things go off the rails and secrets are revealed. The first film cost $14 million to produce and grossed $104 million.

Keaton also has “Mack & Rita,” with Simon Rex, premiering Aug. 5.

Fonda, whose last seven new episodes of “Grace & Frankie” are now streaming, voices the Dragon in Apple’s animated “Luck.”

Bergen stars in “As They Made Us,” with Dustin Hoffman, which is now streaming; and Steenburgen followed up the NBC series “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist” with two episodes of “Grace & Frankie.”

Speaking of Marvel-esque! As the 26th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), “Eternals” takes place in Phase Four of the MCU, after the Avengers succeeded in bringing back the missing half of the population that Thanos snapped away.

Because of the population’s return, the energy on Earth brought on an apocalyptic astronomical event called the emergence.

The only ones with knowledge of it are 10 superheroes, the Eternals, who were brought to Earth in 5,000 B.C. to ensure that the emergence happens. After so many years on Earth that fostered a great love for humankind, the Eternals as a team now face great inner conflict about doing what’s right versus doing what they were told. Hopefully, they’ll prevail in time to save our planet!

CROSSWORD PUZZLE SENIOR NEWS LINE

By Matilda Charles

HERE’S HOW I SAVED ON PRESCRIPTION DRUGS

The price of prescription drugs has, like everything else, inched up. In some cases, the cost has made a massive, sudden jump, and it comes as a shock when you check out at the pharmacy. But there are ways around this horrible surprise.

I recently discovered a way to save a lot of money ($80 on a 90-day prescription) by doing two things: I changed pharmacies, and I started using GoodRx. Here’s how:

Go to the GoodRx website (goodrx.com) and put in your ZIP code so that all the local pharmacies show up. Enter the name of the drug you take, as well as the dose and number of pills. See what each pharmacy charges using GoodRx. They will vary widely.

Boy, did I get a shock. It took me all of two minutes to call a new pharmacy and ask them to have the prescription transferred.

Then I printed out the GoodRx coupon showing the pharmacy name, the drug and dose, the price and so on. I took that to the pharmacy and voila! Eighty dollars saved.

Here are a few other ideas if GoodRx isn’t going to work for you:

• Ask your doctor if a generic would be just as good, or if another drug would work just as well.

• Find out if you qualify for the Extra Help program to pay for your drugs by calling Social Security at 1-800772-1213, or read the information at www.ssa.gov/ pubs/EN-05-10508.pdf.

• See if you qualify for the Pharmaceutical Assistance Program. (www.medicare.gov/plan-compare/#/ pharmaceutical-assistance-program) • Get a different Medicare drug plan more in line with the drugs you take (www.medicare.gov/plancompare).

One note: You can’t use GoodRx along with a deductible from Medicare or Medicaid, but you can use it instead of those. Beware whether you’ll reach your annual deductible if you don’t use a Medicare drug plan or if you’re in the doughnut hole (cover gap) already.

said the German sounding “Mellencamp” would be a hard sell.

4. Tavares.

5. “Crying in the Rain,” by the Everly Brothers, in 1962. Astonishingly enough, the song only made it to No. 6 on the U.S. charts. Numerous others released covers over the years, including Peter and Gordon, Art Garfunkel and Slade. The only place it ever topped the chart was Norway.

2. The Fleetwoods, in 1959.

Legend says the song was recorded at home, with no musical accompaniment except the jingling of car keys. Instruments were added later in the studio.

VETERANS POST

What are you doing this summer? If you have spare hours or days, consider stepping up to help your fellow veterans. Stand Downs are a good place to start.

Stand Downs were started in California in 1988 by two veterans who saw the great need for services to homeless veterans.

Over the years, the number of events and the veterans served has grown to include help from government agencies, veteran service organizations, groups and individual volunteers all across the county. The need is so great that many locations see hundreds of veterans lined up outside the door before they even open on the first day.

The schedule of Stand Downs in 2022, whether you need services or want to help, can be seen at www.va.gov/homeless/ events.asp. Keep an eye on that page because new events can be added at any time.

Another page to watch is the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans (nchv.org/ current-stand-downs).

HEALTH

SUMMER FUN! As the days grow long and the weather gets hot, you’re likely spending more time outdoors.

Whether you’re taking a brisk walk around the neighborhood or golfing with friends, keep these tips in mind to stay healthy:

1. Replenish fluids

It’s easy to become dehydrated when you’re active. Replenish your fluids by drinking plenty of water, and healthy beverages, and by consuming water-rich foods like fresh fruits and vegetables. Because sweat contains electrolytes, you’ll also want to add foods that contain sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium to your diet.

2. Protect skin

Sun exposure can contribute to the production of free radicals. More free radicals in the body means more damage can accumulate over time, and this DNA damage can cause gene mutations that can lead to skin cancer. This is why a multi-layered approach to skin protection is vital. Make sure you wear sunscreen daily.

3. Protect your feet

Wearing properly-fitting, sports-specific footwear can help you avoid overuse injuries such as plantar fasciitis and tendonitis. Over time and mileage, athletic shoes lose their ability to absorb shock and will need to be replaced to help keep the muscles and joints in your feet and ankles protected. Headed for a swim? Always wear pool shoes or flip flops in the locker room to prevent athlete’s foot and skin infections.

4. Protect your vision

UV light is harmful to eye health and can put you at greater risk for a number of conditions that impact vision. Wearing sunglasses with UV protection is a good idea. A hat with a brim or cap with a visor can offer eyes additional shade with the bonus of protecting your scalp and face too. At the pool, keep chlorine and other disinfecting chemicals out of your eyes by using goggles. Some pairs even offer UV protection.
