GRATEFUL

Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings. William Arthur Ward Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. Melody Beattie

An attitude of gratitude goes a long way.

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

Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse.

Joy is the simplest form of gratitude.

Karl Barth

Henry Van Dyke

Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts. Henri Frederic Amiel I am happy because I’m grateful. I choose to be grateful. That gratitude allows me to be happy.

Will Arnett

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

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

Eileen Caddy

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

LOVE

HELPFUL HABITS Enhance your relationship today.

Giving thanks for and with your spouse is one of the most significant habits you can build into your marriage.

Gratitude is an essential ingredient in any relationship, but it takes intentionality and time to put it into practice.

Being grateful can become a way of being, and that carries immense power to sustain and enhance a relationship when authentic. When you approach marriage each day with thanksgiving, choosing together to see abundance rather than scarcity, relational satisfaction rises. Here are a few specific ways gratitude can strengthen and protect your marriage.

Gratitude helps you remember the reasons you first fell in love with our spouse.

satisfying interactions. The same is doubly true for marriage. When two people are committed to seeing and appreciating life’s gifts together, their perspectives change and broaden. Anxiety tends to lessen, and shared enjoyment increases.

Gratitude enhances sex.

True mutual thankfulness deepens a couple’s emotional bonds, which inevitably fosters a more intense physical connection.

Affirmation creates a safer space and a more tender connection.

Gratitude creates a mutual cycle of appreciation.

It’s simply human nature that when a person feels appreciated, they’re more likely to state appreciation

for others. Practicing gratitude in marriage can have a snowball effect, because as one partner expresses thanks and affirmation, the same more naturally flows from the other. Occasional small thanks can lead to a whole and underlying culture of gratitude.

Gratitude softens criticism.

Harsh words sting, and can easily have the power to tear down confidence in a marriage. When words of affirmation and gratitude become consistent and integral in a relationship, they slowly lay a foundation of trust that cushions the blow of harsh words.

Stating words of appreciation for precious times together and beloved qualities in one another sparks memories of particularly rich seasons that can sustain commitment during harder seasons.

Gratitude increases love, fun, and forgiveness.

Study after study confirms that individuals who consistently give thanks are more likely to experience positive emotions and 10 10 THE THE GRAND GRAND SEASON SEASON •• NOVEMBER NOVEMBER 2021 2021

REFLECT

GIVE THANKS

What are your thankful for?

Sometimes it’s easier to focus on what we don’t have, rather than what we do have. It’s important to take time out and remember all of the things to be thankful for that many of us take for granted.

Your family

Here are things to be thankful for in your everyday life. These are great reminders to treasure everything you have.

Fresh air

Good health

Even if you’re health isn’t great, it could be worse and you likely still have some working parts to be thankful for.

Money in the bank Having just a few coins makes you richer than most people on Earth.

Even if they’re dysfunctional, you love them.

Mistakes

If we never made mistakes, we wouldn’t learn much, so it is one of those things we should be thankful for.

Being able to step outside and breathe in fresh air is a good reminder how many little things we should be thankful for.

Laughter

Without laughter, the world would be a sad place.

Safety and security

Being able to wake up without immense fear frees us up to really live life.

Sunshine

Good friends

The sun’s warmth can brighten any day.

Freedom of religion

Although we often don’t think there’s enough of it, time is something we shouldn’t take for granted.

Often, it’s the quality of friendships, not the quantity.

Being able to worship, whomever and however you want, is something many people don’t ever experience.

Time

Music

Music brings out new emotions.

FOR ADVERTISING INFORMATION CALL (623) 594-1630

Clean water

Many people on earth lack access to clean water.

Love

The world sure would be a different place if we lacked the ability to love.

Books

Books provide an opportunity to enter another world all from the comfort of your own home.

Kindness of strangers

Never take the kindness of a stranger for granted.

Pain

Without pain, it would be difficult to appreciate life’s joys.

Freedom of speech

Being able to express your thoughts and feelings freely should never be taken for granted.

Wisdom

Thankfully, we grow smarter over time.

Sunsets

Eyesight

Being able to see allows us to view the world’s beauty.

Air conditioning

Staying cool on a hot day is something people wouldn’t have dreamed about in past centuries.

Children

Watching children laugh, grow, and dream can keep things in perspective.

Challenges

Without challenges in life, we wouldn’t be the people we are now.

Armed Forces

Our lives would likely be very different if we didn’t have protection from the armed forces.

Realizing all the things you should be thankful for is the first step. Practicing gratitude is what you should do daily.

Sunsets are a reminder that we should enjoy the simple things in life.

COUCH THEATER Hypnotic Finding a good therapist is hard enough without worrying whether he’s going to use hypnosis not to delve into regressed childhood memories to finally put them to rest and help you gain emotional stability, but instead to gain total control over your mind and actions and even cause some wickedly evil hallucinations, all by the mere utterance of a keyword said over the phone while you’re just trying to drive to work and have a normal day.

But that’s exactly what the psycho hot therapist does in this Netflix original thriller, which stars horror film veteran Kate Siegel and Jason O’Mara.

Maradona: Blessed Dream Argentina’s Diego Maradona was one of the greatest soccer players of all time, named one of two winners of the FIFA Player of the 20th Century.

This 10-part series covers his family life in the Argentine barrio and his early rise to athletic stardom, as well as the various controversies that arose during his athletic career (some of which are still coming to light even after his death in 2020).

IMPACT

WRITE IT DOWN

There’s no wrong way to keep a gratitude journal, but here are some general ideas as you get started.

Write down up to five things for which you feel grateful. The physical record is important—don’t just do this exercise in your head. The goal of the exercise is to remember a good event, experience, person, or thing in your life—then enjoy the good emotions that come with it.

As you write, here some helpful tips:

1. Be as specific as possible—specificity is key to fostering gratitude. “I’m

grateful that my neighbors brought me soup when I was sick,” will be more effective than “I’m grateful for my neighbors.”

2. Go for depth over breadth. Elaborating in detail about a particular person

or thing for which you’re grateful carries more benefits than a superficial list of many things.

3. Get personal. Focusing on people to whom you are grateful has more of an

impact than focusing on things for which you are grateful.

4. Try subtraction, not just addition. Consider what your life would be like

without certain people or things, rather than just tallying up all the good stuff.

Be grateful for the negative outcomes you avoided, escaped, prevented, or turned into something positive—try not to take that good fortune for granted.

5. See good things as “gifts.” Thinking of the good things in your life as gifts

guards against taking them for granted. Try to relish and savor the gifts you’ve received.

6. Savor surprises. Try to record events that were unexpected or surprising, as these tend to elicit stronger levels of gratitude.

7. Write regularly. Whether you write every other day or once a week, commit to a regular time to journal, then honor that commitment.

8. Don’t overdo it. Evidence suggests writing occasionally (1-3 times per

week) is more beneficial than daily journaling. That might be because we adapt to positive events and can soon become numb to them—that’s why it helps to savor surprises.

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.

HEALTH

A POWERFUL PRESCRIPTION Gratitude can make you feel better.

Taking a moment to be thankful for the good things in life can help you cultivate a healthy personal life, manage stress and develop a deeper connection to people, especially in tough situations.

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley commissioned a three-year project to dig deeper into the health benefits behind the art of appreciation. Here’s what they found:

Practicing gratitude boosts your mental health.

Those who wrote letters of gratitude reported significantly better mental health four weeks, and 12 weeks after their writing exercise ended.

THE GRAND SEASON • NOVEMBER 2021

Practicing gratitude helps you accept change.

When we are comfortable with the way things already are, it can be difficult to accept when things change—let alone feel grateful for that difference. But when we make it a habit to notice the good change brings, we can become more flexible and accepting.

Practicing gratitude can relieve stress.

The regions associated with gratitude are part of the neural networks that light up when we socialize and experience pleasure. These regions are also heavily connected to the parts of the brain that control basic emotion regulation, such as heart rate, and are associated with stress relief and thus pain reduction. Feeling grateful and recognizing help from others, creates a more relaxed body state and allows the subsequent benefits of lowered stress to wash over us.

Gratitude positively impacts our brains.

Practicing gratitude lights up the brain’s reward center. One study found that practicing gratitude by keeping a gratitude journal lights up the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, a key brain region associated with reward processing in the brain.

People who practice gratitude also report fewer physical symptoms of illness, more optimism, greater goal attainment, decreased anxiety and depression, and many other health benefits.

So this holiday season, make an effort to see how a little gratitude can improve your health and well-being.

THE LITTLE THINGS Seven ways to practice daily gratitude

As Jon Kabat-Zinn says, “The little things? The little moments? They aren’t little.”

Saying thank you, holding the door for someone, these little moments can change the tone of your whole day.

One of the most powerful ways to rewire your brain for more joy and less stress is to focus on gratitude. Here are seven simple ways to become more grateful:

1. Keep a gratitude journal.

Establish a daily practice in which you remind yourself of the gifts, grace, benefits, and good things you enjoy.

Recalling moments of gratitude associated with ordinary events or people you value gives you the potential 26 THE THE GRAND GRAND SEASON SEASON •• NOVEMBER NOVEMBER 2021 2021 26

to interweave a sustainable theme of gratefulness into your life.

2. Remember the bad. To be grateful in your current state, it is helpful to remember the hard times that you once experienced. When you remember how difficult life used to be and how far you have come, you set up an explicit contrast in your mind, and this contrast is fertile ground for gratefulness.

3. Ask yourself three questions. Think about

your relationships with friends, siblings, children, and partners using these three questions: “What have I received from __?”, “What have I given to __?”, and “What troubles and difficulty have I caused?”

4. Share your gratitude with others. Research has found

that expressing gratitude can strengthen relationships. So

the next time your partner, friend or family member does something you appreciate, make sure to tell them.

5. Use visual reminders.

Two primary obstacles to gratefulness are forgetfulness and a lack of awareness.

Visual reminders can serve as cues to trigger thoughts of gratitude. Often times, the best visual reminders are other people.

6. Vow to practice gratitude.

Research shows that making an oath to perform a behavior increases the likelihood that the action will be executed.

Therefore, write your own gratitude vow, which could be as simple as “I vow to count my blessings each day,” and post it somewhere where you will be reminded of it every day.

7. Go through the motions.

Grateful motions include smiling, saying thank you, and writing letters of appreciation.

By “going through the motions,” you’ll trigger the emotion of gratitude more often.

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.”

Jesse Ramirez, a native Arizonan, is passionate about feeding people in need. Not long after he started the Valley View Community Food Bank, Jesse and his team were feeding 300 people daily in 2007. Today, they are feeding over 540 daily. About 48% of his clients are senior citizens over 55, and 32% are either children or adults in their 20’s.

Each day, the food bank distributes 6,000 pounds of food. You may ask, where does the food come from?

Jesse say’s, “Most of the food is donated from private food drives, churches, Sam’s Club, local scouting groups, private donations, businesses and organizations.”

The main purpose of the Valley View Community Food Bank is to supply people in the community with wholesome food. Jesse says, “When you combine what people have gone through with COVID, unemployment, and higher food costs, the number of families needing assistance continues to grow.

In order to keep up with the need, we honestly could use some additional help during Thanksgiving and Christmas.”

If you are interested in helping Jesse and his team meet the need, you can participate in various ways; volunteering at the food bank, private food drives, donating shelf stable foods, canned veggies, fruits, canned protein, boxed dinners or by donating money (100% of dollars are spent on needed food).

To donate go to: www.FeedingAZ.org or call 623-933-3358 or email: feedingaz.org@gmail.com.

1.Gratitude opens the door to more relationships. Not only does saying

YOU

GRATITUDE CHECK Change your life today It’s that time of year where 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:

“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 checkups 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

36

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.
