Leaning against the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort forced himself down the stairs, gripping the railing with both hands. With laboured breath, he leaned against the door-frame, gazing into the kitchen.

The aged and withered hand, shakingly made its way to a cookie at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked with a spatula by his wife. "Stay out of those!" she said, "They're for the funeral."

Because I'm a man, when I catch a cold, I need someone to bring me soup and take care of me while I lie in bed and moan. You're a woman.

Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself toward the table, landing on his knees in a rumpled posture. His parched lips parted; the wondrous taste of the cookie was already in his mouth; seemingly bringing him back to life.

Because I'm a man, I think what you're wearing is fine. I thought what you were wearing five minutes ago was fine, too. Either pair of shoes is fine. With the belt or without it, looks fine. Your hair is fine.

You look fine. Can we just go now?

Thrills and watery spills in the Magic Kingdom's five themed lands are topped up with glittering shows and fairytale parades. Plus, you can get a behind-the-scenes look at Disney animation and movie-making in the Walt Disney Studios .Buy a hydrogen balloon, suck in the hydrogen, and entertain your kids with your hilarious squeaky Mickey Mouse voice Sure to please even the whiniest tween . Best of all, there are some enchanting Disneyland Paris hotels to be had, whether you want to stick to a budget and stay outside the resort or go Mickey mad with a themed hotel on site.The choice of hotels to stay at is never ending; you can stay in the heart of Disney Paris with six Disney hotels located onsite, whatever your taste or budget. The Disneyland Hotel is a magical kingdom or take a bite of the Big Apple at Disney's Hotel New York, listen closely & you'll hear the sea at Disney's Newport Bay Club, a warm welcome awaits at Disney's Sequoia Lodge or try the Wild West Frontier at Disney's Hotel Cheyenne or discover New Mexico at Disney's Hotel Santa Fe.Originally known as Eurodisney opened in 1992 and 2008 year was the 15th Birthday of what is today called Disneyland Resort Paris.Disneyland Park for families and grown-ups alike, the party and dreams continue after the Parks have closed.

delights. There was a great choice of restaurants and fun for everyone of all ages young and old and all stages, Disney Village is the place to go for the ultimate in shopping, new movies, dancing, dining and live entertainment .You will have to go and see the brilliant Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show which is a must do when you visit and we experienced a live spectacle of horses, buffalo, cowboys and Indians, you can't afford to miss this show.

How you think, react and experience life right now, is controlled by the sum total of what you hold in your mind. All that you have ever felt, experienced or learned to believe as truth is stored.

“What! Power in my mind? What is my Mind? Where is my mind? How do I change it?” Truly understanding your mind is empowering beyond belief! Fact is; when we KNOW our MIND, we connect with our inher-

ent KNOWING. This is our creative intelligence, our life force energy, the seat of our inherent confidence and Power.

“I have lost my confidence/I have no confidence”. Not so! Your confident energy and power is intact within you, it always has been. Like all human beings, you have a mind that is brim full of untapped potential. So why not explore this truth? Come join me as I present scientific facts, video footage, life stories and so much more demonstrating your potential to progress in ways you may only have dreamt of?

Presentation Secondary School Reunion, Thurles “God gives us memories that we may have roses in December.”

We cordially invite you to our Presentation Secondary School Reunion, Thurles on Saturday, September 21st 2013 to relive those precious memories. Students who left school between 1942 and 2002 will have the opportunity to meet with classmates, teachers of yesteryear, revisit old classrooms and become acquainted with new ones, walk around the ground where you will come upon our new State of the Art Sports Complex and a wholly refurbished Cafeteria. You will enter the school by a Grade A hotel-style foyer and … but why am I detailing all this? Come and see for yourself! After all, it is the year of the Gathering. What better time to have a school gathering?

There will be miles of photos and a treasury of trophies on display. The halls and corridors echo with the voices and laughter of over 600 students daily. We would like your voice, your laughter to be part of the school once more. Visiting on one’s own can be a bit lonely, a bit nostalgic, and even a bit daunting. Tell your former classmates, family and friends as visiting with fellow “pilgrims” is a totally different experience. Be part of that experience!

From Lockout to Bailout at Nenagh Arts Centre A Weekend of Conversations With Special Guest Fintan O’Toole Venue: Nenagh Arts Centre, Co. Tipperary Date: Friday 27th – Sunday 29th September The 1913 Lockout marked the beginning of a decade of change for Ireland, resulting in independence and the creation of a new state. The Lockout is widely seen as one of the seminal events in the creation of the new state.

100 years on from this most historic industrial conflict and five years on from a calamitous bank collapse, ‘From Lockout to Bailout: Sept 1913 – 2013’ will create ‘a weekend of conversations’, examining the challenges facing Ireland then and now; creating a space once again for new ideas to emerge.

Historians, authors, social activists and leading commentators will gather at Nenagh Arts Centre, Nenagh, Co Tipperary in September (27 – 29) for the weekend event with special guest Fintan O’Toole.

This commemorative event will also look to the future for the Republic, asking questions about the changing political, economic and societal landscape.

Other speakers throughout the weekend will include RTE’s Aine Lawlor; local award-winning author Donal Ryan, historian Catriona Crowe; Dr. Tom Collins; formerly of NUI Maynooth; Dr. Peadar Kirby, University of Limerick; Dr. Mary Murphy; NUI Maynooth; Orla Tinsley, health campaigner and Rev. Stephen Neill, Cloughjordan, as well as Mid-West Meitheal Co-operative.

This event is a ‘Nenagh Risings’ initiative founded by Gerry Coffey and Kathleen O’Meara. From Lockout to Bailout is the first of a series of commemorative events planned for the coming years to mark an era of revolution and evolution for Ireland throughout the 1910s.

Our Last Chieftain – O’Sullivan Beara at The Source Thurles Award winning creator and star of Tom Crean Antartic Explorer, Aidan Dooley returns to the stage at The Source Arts Centre on Saturday 07 September to perform in Our Last Chieftain – O’Sullivan Beara, a historical account of the last Chieftain left standing in Kinsale against Queen Elizabeth. We like our heroes tragic and using Celtic myths, an original score and brilliant storytelling, Aidan tells the true tale of how this heroic leader of the Beara people tried valiantly to save his Clan against the vicious onslaught of the angry Tudor Queen intent on ensuring Ireland would never aid the Spanish again and in doing, destroys the last Celtic embers of Gaelic Ireland.

North Tipp Macra na Feirme North Tipp Macra have just had an very busy few weeks. Well done to Catherine Maher who represented us at the annual Ms Macra Competition in Dundrum earlier this month and big congratulations to Joe Maher who came second in the International Bachelor of the Year competition in Ballinasloe.

Last Saturday saw all the hard work of Tipperary Macra’s Relay For Life team came to fruition. A team of well over 24 members walked for 24 hours in Toomevara for the Relay For Life in aid of the Irish Cancer Society. There was a huge turnout of North Tipp and South Tipp members

as well as massive support from our very good friends at Offaly Macra.

Thank you all very much especially team captains Catherine Maher and Una Ryan. There was a lot of hard work involved in getting ready for this event and the results were fantastic. Lots of fun was had at the event and all our members can be very proud of themselves.

Next up we have county and club officer training in September. We encourage any members interested in going to these events to contact our Chairman Tim Maher for further details

With enough pressure, we can change that direcpeople to come and join our march, to send a message to the government, tion. that we are not going to put up with these bailouts or the unjust austerity Www.facebook.com/NenaghSaysNo https://twitter.com/NenaghSaysNo measures imposed on the people of http://nenaghsaysno.webs.com Nenagh, and Ireland as a whole.

Tipp Farmers Building New Futures In 2006 a group of farmers in County Tipperary formed an organisation called New Futures. This was at a time of declining farming numbers, lower incomes and higher dependence on subsidies as well as increasing isolation. The group devised a training programme with it’s lead partner, St. Sheelan’s College, Templemore. It was in conjunction with the Leonardo project and funded by the EU. Bridget Kirwan and Sheila Hoctor of Tipperary Institute both worked closely with the group.

The basic aim of the group was to help it’s members cope with the challenges of modern farming and to educate themselves with the skills to diversify. It also aimed to fulfil the social needs of it’s members.

This has proved successful as members have found a place to discuss their problems and to look at the barriers they regard as obstacles and break them down.

To date the group has completed a range of training programmes including Personal Development, Computer Courses specifically designed for farmers, Farm Safety and First Aid. The group meets once every month throughout the year.

Almost all meetings are attended by a guest speaker. Topics covered have been varied ranging from Financial Advisors, Accountants, Personnel from MABS and from Tipperary Enterprise Board. Local Business Representatives have given an insight into setting a business or on farm enterprise. Among those who have shared their knowledge and expertise with the group are Peter Ward of Country Choice Nenagh, Michael Cantwell of Boulabane Ice Cream and Tom Starr, Nenagh who spoke on bee-keeping.

The Tax Poem Tax his land, Tax his bed, Tax the table at which he’s fed, Tax his work, Tax his pay, He works for peanuts anyway!

Tax his cow, Tax his goat, Tax his pants, Tax his coat.

Tax his tobacco, Tax his drink, Tax him if he tries to think.

Tax his car, Tax his gas, Find other ways to tax his ass.

When he screams and hollers, Then Tax him some more, Tax him hill he’s good and sore.

Then Tax his coffin, Tax his grave, Tax the sod in which he’s laid.

When he’s gone, do not relax, It’s time to apply The Inheritance Tax.

Day Trips are a big part of our activities. Places visited include Coolmore Stud, Leinster House, C&F Energy, Athenry, Lisheen Mines, Rearcross Food Project and the ECO Village and Community Farm in Cloughjordan. All trips have proven educational and sociable.

A strong emphasis is placed on each members social needs.

We are also aware of the needs of farmers outside the group. With this in mind we have organised a seminar “Harnessing Strengths During Challenging Times” on Tuesday 1st October 2013 in the Abbey Court Hotel, Nenagh at 7 pm. The seminar will be conducted by Shane Martin a registered psychologist.

This seminar will deal directly with the difficulties faced by farmers particularly as a result of the bad weather of 2012/13 and the fodder crisis which led to the ongoing financial crisis. This is an opportunity for farmers to meet fellow farmers to address their similar with an expert in a relaxed manner.

If you are interested in becoming a member of New Futures or would like more information on the above seminar please contact any of the following: Catherine Guest, Borrisoleigh(Chairperson) 086-1575949 George Langley, Templederry(Secretary) 087-2122052 Padraig Moran, Borrisokane(Treasurer) 086-2357577

Counselling Anxiety

(continued from previous issue)

By Jim O’Shea Self-care to prevent anxiety and burnout.

Some simple exercises.

Bourne also recognises the importance of adrenalin increasing anxiety levels. I will further explore adrenalin when dealing with specific types of anxiety and with panic, but at this point, I would like to draw your attention to adrenal exhaustion, which makes us vulnerable to anxiety. Adrenal exhaustion is a gradual process occurring in stages, in which the adrenal glands suffer chronic exhaustion. We commonly call this burn out. In the early stages, the adrenal glands manage to recover, but with prolonged and continued stress, they finally cave in resulting in chronic burn out. This means that they malfunction rather like a damaged thermostat of a car that fails to regulate the temperature. The malfunction results in too much or too little adrenalin being produced, resulting in uncontrolled emotional stress pressure and mood swings. Not only can this bring burn out, but it can cause fibromyalgia, bronchitis, sinusitis, and various other complaints. The symptoms of burn out, range from lethargy and exhaustion to frequent colds and breathing complaints. Other symptoms of adrenal exhaustion include irritability, dizziness, problems concentrating, difficulty in remembering things, insomnia, low blood sugar, and allergies to foods, pollens etc. It may also be a contributor to premenstrual tension.

My experience is that it is possible, but very difficult, to recover from burn out. Self-care is vital to recovery. Self-care involves nurturing yourself - body, soul and spirit. Not overworking or overdoing it. The following is an inventory of simple exercises that promote mental health and peace: Physical self-care Eat regularly (breakfast, lunch, dinner). Eat healthily. Exercise. Regular medical care.

Take time off when sick. Massages. Dance, swim, walk, run, play sports, sing, other physical activities. Take time to meet sexual needs. Sufficient sleep. Wear clothes you like. Vacations (long and mini). Make space for time alone without interruptions.

Psychological self-care Time for self-reflection. Personal counselling. Use a journal. Read literature that is unrelated to work. Do something at which you are not expert. Work on decreasing stress in your life. Listen to your thoughts, beliefs, attitudes and feelings. Let others know different aspects of you. Use your intelligence in new ways e.g. going to art museums, sports events, theatre, etc. Be open to receiving from others. Be curious. Say no to extra responsibilities sometimes Emotional self-care Spend time with others whose company you enjoy. Stay in contact with important people in your life. Praise and affirm yourself. Find ways to increase your sense of self-esteem.

Re-read favourite books and re-view favourite films. Identify comforting activities, objects, people, relationships, places, and seek them out. Allow yourself to feel your feelings and to cry. Find ways to make you laugh. Play with children Spiritual self-care Make time for reflection. Spend time with nature. Find a spiritual connection or community. Be open to inspiration. Cherish your optimism and hope. Be aware of nonmaterial aspects of life. Try at times not to be in charge or the expert. Be open to not knowing. Identify what is meaningful to you and notice its place in your life. Meditate. Pray.

Sing. Spend time with children. Experience

awe. Contribute to causes in which you believe. Read inspirational literature (talks, music, etc.).

SELF-NURTURING ACTIVITIES. Take a warm bath. Have breakfast in bed.

Take a sauna. Get a massage. Buy yourself a rose. Take a bubble bath. Go to a pet store and play with the animals. Walk on a scenic path in a park. Visit a zoo. Have a manicure of pedicure. Stop and smell some flowers.

Wake up and watch the sunrise. Watch the sunset. Relax with a good book and/or soothing music. Go rent a funny video. Play our favourite music and dance to it by yourself.

Go to bed early. Take a ‘mental health day’ off from work. Fix a special dinner just for yourself and eat by candlelight. Go for a walk. Call a good friend – or several good friends. Go out to a fine restaurant just with yourself. Go to the beach. Take a scenic drive. Meditate. Buy new clothes. Browse in a book or record store for as long as you want. Buy yourself a cuddly stuffed animal and play with it. Write yourself a love letter and mail it. Ask a special person to nurture you (feed, cuddle, and /or read to you). Buy yourself something special that you can afford. Go see a good film or show. Go to the park and feed the ducks, swing on the swings and so on. Visit a museum or another interesting place. Give yourself more time than you need to accomplish whatever you are doing (let yourself dawdle). Work on your favourite puzzle or puzzle book. Go into a hot hut or Jacuzzi. Record an affirmation tape. Write out an ideal scenario concerning a goal and then visualize it. Read an inspirational book. Write a letter to an old friend.

Bake or cook something special. Go window-shopping. Buy a mediation tape. Get a therapist to do a relaxation/visualisation exercise with you. Listen to a positive, motivational tape. Write a special diary about your accomplishments. Apply fragrant lotion all over your body. Exercise. Sit and hold your favourite stuffed animal.

As you can see these are simple, yet they are very effective in allaying the severity of anxiety. They are only one part of the selfcare solution, however. Self-care also involves having good boundaries – being able to say no. There is nothing more debilitating than trying to please everyone. It is more than human. I regard good boundaries as one of the keys to success, and I have devoted an entire chapter to it in my book on abuse.
