JB CHS NEWS

By Col. John Lamontagne 437th Airlift Wing commander

After arriving at Joint Base Charleston this summer, I outlined three priorities for the 437th: "Mission! Airmen! Fun!" As we often use New Year's resolutions as an opportunity to reflect on where we are and where we would like to go, I hope these priorities also offer you a guide for creating this year's resolutions.

What resolutions will you make this year? Whether you choose to use these priorities or not, I challenge you to make a difference by pursuing your goals throughout the entire year and not losing enthusiasm after the first month.

I challenge you to rededicate your efforts to the mission. Get back to the basics and ensure you are doing everything according to the T.O.'s and AFI's; take the extra moment to ensure everything is technically correct before moving on! Each of us can always strive to be a better leader, follower, teammate, and even better doer. Even the smallest change can make a big impact, including the attitude you bring to work or simply making the job of your supervisee/supervisor a little easier. A small, consistent effort can make a huge difference.

Challenge yourself to refocus on your fellow Airmen and your families. It is important for all of us to foster lifestyles that promote balance: spending quality time with family and friends can help accomplish this goal. Family

oftentimes provides the foundation for personal and professional success. A strong family bond can make a world of difference across multiple domains in your life. I encourage each of you to make a special effort to reach out to your fellow Airmen without families in the local area because together; we are an Air Force family.

Lastly, I want you to have some fun.

It is easy to let hobbies and leisurely activities fall by the wayside, especially with how hectic life can seem. Find some time to take part in these activities. It is very important that you utilize Col. John Lamontagne 437th AW commander these opportunities to decompress and enjoy some well-deserved time off.

This year will inevitably bring unforeseen challenges that will test your resolutions. Always remember, that just a little extra effort or focus in any of these areas can have a huge effect on your career, family, and lifestyle.

Best of luck with your resolutions as we begin another great year!

Be a mentor for a rewarding, life-changing experience

By Col. James Hurley 315th Mission Support Group commander

Winston Churchill said, "We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give." For those of you who are, or have been a mentor, you understand the meaning of these words.

I can still remember my first day, late in December 1982, at my first duty assignment in the 342nd Missile Security Squadron, Malmstrom Air Force Base, Mont. I had reported in and was standing at parade rest in front of my squadron commander's desk. The captain welcomed me to the squadron, gave me a very brief outline of his expectations and my duties, then imparted to me this advice, "Go find a good NCO, become his shadow, pick his brain and learn everything he knows, because that NCO will teach you what you need to know to be a successful officer." He was right.

Master Sgt. Ed Keeney, my flight chief, became my mentor. Ed was my teacher, coach, biggest critic and biggest fan. I watched, listened and learned. He watched, listened and would oftentimes pull me aside and provide feedback on my performance. I learned many lessons at the knee of Ed Keeney, but the one that continues to have the biggest impact on me dealt with mentorship. We didn't call it mentorship back then, but that's what it was. Ed used to continually admonish me to not focus on my own career but to identify the best performers within my unit and guide (mentor) them. So that's what I have done.

Mentoring others is not only critically important to the health and suc-

cess of an organization, it's rewarding. Over the years I have mentored many Airmen -- enlisted and officer -- and the greatest enjoyment I have experienced is watching one of my mentees succeed. One famous writer said, "A true measure of your worth includes all the benefits others have gained from your success." How true!

The Air Force has a mentoring program. It's outlined in AFMAN 362643 and defines mentorship as "a relationship in which a person of greater experience and wisdom guides another person to develop both personally and professionally." The instruction contains good information, it has lots of do's and don'ts, expectation and guidelines, all of which are important.

However, what it doesn't talk about is that mentoring is more than just one person giving information to another, in my opinion, to be a truly effective mentor you have to legitimately care for and value the person you are mentoring. Ed Keeney cared for me, and I for him. He wanted me to be successful and lead Airmen in the manner he thought they should be lead.

I would encourage every person who reads this short commentary to consider taking on a mentee. If you are not at that stage of your personal and professional development yet, then make it a future milestone. If you are a seasoned Airman -- officer or enlisted -- look around you, I promise there are individuals who would benefit from your guidance. All Airmen, enlisted and officer, need mentoring and should mentor others. One of my mentees called me last week and related to me how he was mentoring a young person in his organization; all I could do was smile. Mentoring is a rewarding and life changing experience, so do it!

No more knee jerk responses

By Master Sgt. Kristy Beaudoin 437th Maintenance Operations Squadron

Have you ever given an inappropriate hand gesture to someone who just cut your vehicle off in traffic? Well, "Road-rage" or aggressive driving, is considered a ticketable offense. To prevent knee jerk responses, we must have the ability to selfmanage and control our emotions and to be selfaware. By doing this, we are using emotional intelligence.

According to Dr. Peter Salovery at Yale University, emotional intelligence covers a range of abilities including self-management, through self-awareness, social skills, self-confidence, empathy and emotional control even in the toughest situations (stress management).

In addition, emotional intelligence, when coupled with leadership, can assist in making level headed decisions, guiding people in the right direction, solving problems and communicating more effectively. In other words, emotional intelligence can be adapted to improve work environments,

family life and you guessed it: Leadership!

Many resources available on the web refer to emotional intelligence as EI or EQ, and certifications in this field of study are available. As a leader, it is important to improve EI/EQ, to facilitate/improve level-headed decision making skills.

The book, "Go Suck a Lemon" by Dr. Michael Cornwall discusses improving your EI/EQ and contains strategies on preventing knee jerk responses to emotions. In the book, Dr. Cornwall elaborates on the importance of identifying and managing different triggers and chains tied to emotions. Dr. Goleman provides many examples in the book, such as [...if you are angry you are less likely to express forgiveness or sadness without first stopping and changing your thinking ...]. In other words, this would be where Dr. Cornwall would suggest the individual should suck a lemon, but by changing thought processes, you will taste cinnamon, and thus improve EI/EQ. Dr. Cornwall also asserts many emotions can be reshaped, analyzed, and brought down to a more manageable emotional state. To do this, Dr.

Cornwall proposes methods to control thoughts and behaviors, thereby resulting in better control of knee jerk responses, leading to more fact-based observations. In other words, our emotions give us another source of thinking. Level-headed cognitive skills are improved when reactions to emotions are controlled.

According Harvard Business Press contributor, Dr. Daniel Goleman, we have "Human Moments," which are when we make connections through being intelligent in the heart of emotions. We are able to do this because we are paying full attention to, and are fully in-tuned with the boosted range of abilities that emotional intelligence brings to the plate.

Pulling this all together, emotions are what connect us to each other, gives us the drive to succeed and should even give pause for thought. Know your triggers and chains, and how to manage and guide them. In doing so, you will better able to navigate social interaction because you'll have a handle on your emotional quotient as you project a professional demeanor.

happening that requires their attention. This ignorance, willful or not, bothers me and many other military members.

I spent two years in Turkey, where the only U.S. flags I saw were either the one in front of the wing headquarters building on base, the one at the U.S. embassy, or the ones being burned by protesters.

The sweet sound of the Star Spangled Banner rang through the air only once a year at this base. I can tell you this, that once-a-year treat sent chills down my spine and brought tears to my eyes. To quote an old song, "you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone."

Our flag is special and deserves our respect. It flies all over our great land reminding us of the freedoms we love. It's carried into battle to inspire those willing to fight for it. It drapes over the caskets of our fallen heroes who gave their all for it.

Remember the above reasons next time the music starts and you're tempted to keep driving, run into the nearest building or duck into your vehicle. Take advantage of that minute or two

while standing and showing honor to the flag and think about those who have defended it and those who still defend it. Rather than turning up the radio and pretending to ignore the music so you don't get two minutes behind schedule, stop and roll down your window and think of how privileged you are to live in this great nation.

So, since I'm already quoting song lyrics, how about "it's time we stop, hey what's that sound..." next time you realize "it's five o'clock somewhere."

Remember: It's 1700 somewhere

By Capt. David Liapis 92nd Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs

FAIRCHILD AIR FORCE BASE, Wash. – Its side effects can range from confusion to induced sprinting for cover, to feelings of pride. It has the power to stop people in their tracks and causes selfinduced paralysis for nearly two minutes at a time.

Reveille and Retreat ceremonies occur on most military installations across the U.S. at the beginning and the end of the duty day, typically 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Some include playing the ceremonial music over the installation public address system.

While it's easy to follow commands given while in the vicinity of the flag pole, what about while across base at the running track or while driving down the road on base? The general rule is to cease all activities and render honors when the music is played (unless you're taking an Air Force fitness assessment or it would otherwise cause a safety hazard).

While some reading this might be thinking, "well, duh!" there is a reason for this commentary.

It seems that many people have forgotten their customs and courtesies or choose to ignore what to do when the music is played. In spite of some vehicles stopping and people standing still and saluting, some people don't clue into the fact something is

Making The Transition From Military To Civilian?

PALMETTO ★ WARRIOR ★ CONNECTION

When Lt. Gen. William Bender, Air Force Chief of Information Dominance and Chief of Information Officer, announced the winners of the 2014 Air Force Information Dominance awards, a Joint Base Charleston Airman found her name on the short list.

Senior Airman Jennie Short, 628th Communications Squadron knowledge operator, was selected out of more than 1,770 other deserving Airmen to be named the Air Force's Knowledge Operations Outstanding Management Airman of the Year.

The Air Force Knowledge Operations Management recognized information dominance by Air Force officers, enlisted, federal civilian employees, teams and units for sustained superior performance while providing dominance and cyberspace support to Air Force and Department of Defense missions and operations.

"This award belongs to more than me," said Short, a native of Bozeman, Mont.

"Because without the programs offered, or my amazing team and the wonderful customers I work with, I wouldn't be where I am."

According to Short, the award itself isn't the most rewarding thing. The best part of her job is simply the job itself, and the people she works with, in and out of the office.

"It's rewarding for me to see my efforts recognized," said Short. "However, my leader-

ship is very supportive and recognizes my efforts throughout the year. Their mentorship and encouragement is very motivational."

According to Maj. Chris Landwehr, 628th Communications Squadron commander, the award is well deserved.

"Senior Airman Short has a passion for what she does," said Landwehr. "Airmen of the 628th Communications Squadron are extremely proud she has been recognized for her outstanding service. She is proactive, her positive can-do attitude is contagious and she personifies the Air Force Core Values."

According to Short, the secret to her success is no secret at all.

"I take pride in my job, regardless of whether anybody notices," said Short. "That's because it's not about winning awards, it's about having pride in what you do. Sticking to the Air Force's core values is the best advice I could give anyone."

In addition to having integrity, service before self and excellence in all she does, Short's other tip for her peers is maintaining a positive attitude.

According to her leadership, her attitude and outlook on professionalism just touches the surface of how deserving she is.

"The recognition is well deserved and captures all of the great work and exceptional support her and her team accomplish on a regular basis for Joint Base Charleston and our mission partners," said Landwehr.

Changes coming to AB Fitness Center and DFAC

From 628th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

In light of resource challenges due to upcoming deployments, the 628th Force Support Squadron will be adjusting the hours of operation and the level of services provided for two of its facilities, starting Jan. 14, 2015.

Patrons of the Air Base Fitness Center will see a change in the hours of operation. The new hours will be as follows: Monday through Friday: 5 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Saturday: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Sunday: 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Sam's Gym and the East Side Fitness Center located on the Weapons Station will remain unaffected.

Changes are also coming to the Gaylor Dining Facility.

Each meal period will be shortened by a half-hour and the midnight meal service will be suspended. The new hours for meal service at the DFAC will be as follows: Breakfast: 5:30 to 7:30 a.m.

Lunch: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Dinner: 5 to 7 p.m.

Even though the midnight meal has been suspended, the Flight Kitchen will still be available for meals as needed. The

Galley's services and hours will remain unaffected.

The DFAC will continue to serve a hot breakfast each day and the Reserve UTA weekends will continue as normal with augmentation from the 315th Force Support Squadron.

While these changes will be in place for the foreseeable future, the 628th FSS always welcomes feedback on the services they are providing. As always, Airmen, Sailors, civilians and family members are welcome to use the Interactive Customer Evaluation website at http://ice.disa.mil/index.cfm? fa=site&site_id=417 to provide comments, critiques or to ask questions.

AF announces no involuntary force management programs for FY15 From Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

WASHINGTON – Air Force officials announced in December there is no longer a need to conduct involuntary force management programs for fiscal year 2015 following a year of significant reductions designed to meet the Defense Department strategic and budgetary guidance.

Officials confirmed that fiscal year 2014 goals were achieved to size and shape the force, eliminating the previously anticipated requirement to conduct a second round of involuntary programs in fiscal year 2015.

"My travels and discussion with Airmen this past year have convinced me that enough is enough," said Secretary of the Air

Force Deborah Lee James. "Therefore, we will not have additional, involuntary boards in FY15."

Targeted fiscal year 2015 voluntary programs, with eligibility limited by both grade and Air Force specialty codes, will be offered to help properly shape the force. These non-monetary opportunities are part of the normal steady-state force management programs used annually to size and shape the force according to mandated end strength.

Voluntary programs will include waivers of some active-duty service commitments (ADSC), reductions of required time in grade for retirements, and reductions from 10 to eight years of commissioned service for retirements, allowing prior enlisted officers to retire with eight years of commissioned time versus 10.

JB Charleston practices security measures

Airmen from the 628th Civil Engineer Squadron remove barriers from in front of base headquarters during an exercise Jan. 14, 2015, at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. JB Charleston held an exercise Jan. 14 through 15 to test various security measures in the event of an on-base disturbance.

Airmen from the 628th Force Support Squadron evacuated all individuals from the Air Base fitness center during an exercise Jan. 14, 2015, at Joint Base Charleston, S.C.

Updated hair policies outlined for Navy Women

From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs

The result of the review was an update to Navy's hairstyle policies to provide clearer guidance on what is and isn't allowed. The updated policies authorize a slightly broader range of acceptable hairstyles, while continuing to emphasize the need for a neat and professional appearance.

The Navy's review and new standards take into account the wide range and textures of hair, including curled, wavy and straight hair. The new regulations provide guidance on hair styles, hair coloring, wigs, and hair accessories for women.

Highlights of the changes and guidelines include: - Hairstyles must allow for the proper fit of headgear and not interfere with the proper wear of protective masks or equipment.

- When in uniform, hair may touch, but not fall below a horizontal line level with the lower edge of the back of the collar. With service dress jumper uniforms, hair may extend a maximum of 1 1/2 inches below the top of the jumper collar.

- Layered hairstyles are authorized, provided that the layers present a smooth graduated appearance. No portion of the bulk of the hair (except the bun) as measured from the scalp will exceed 2 inches.

- The bulk of the bun shall not exceed 3 inches from scalp.

The diameter of the bun will not exceed 4 inches. Loose ends must be tucked-in and secured. Buns must not protrude through the opening in the back of a ball cap.

- Angled hairstyles may not exceed 1 1/2 inches difference in length from front to back.

- All hairstyles must minimize scalp exposure.

- Two strand braids (a type of twist) are authorized. Braided hairstyles shall be conservative and conform to the grooming standard guidelines.

The updated policy in its entirety can be found by visiting http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/support/uniforms/ uniformregulations/chapter2/pages/2201personalappearance.aspx The Navy took to heart suggestions that grooming standard resources (pictures, websites, guidance) needed a facelift. To better inform Sailors and leadership, Defense Media Activity created a smart-device-compatible hair viewer that provides photographic examples of authorized hairstyles.

Chairman: Sequestration cuts would require strategy change

By Amaani Lyle Department of Defense News

WASHINGTON – Unless Congress changes the Budget Control Act, which now requires a return to sequestrationlevel spending cuts in 2016, the military will need to change its strategy, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in an interview broadcast Jan. 11, 2015.

In an appearance on "Fox News Sunday With Chris Wallace," Army Gen. Martin Dempsey said the Army is drawing down from 570,000 soldiers to 450,000, but he noted that a Pentagon analysis shows sequestration would drive that

number to 420,000, and even lower under some circumstances.

Sequestration would leave the military "far less able to do the things that we think the country needs us to do," Dempsey said.

Meanwhile, the United States continues to face threats from both state actors and nonstate actors, the chairman added. Though he's concerned about that, he noted the United States is still the most powerful nation in the world by any measure, and is likely to remain so – "unless we talk ourselves out of it and legislate ourselves out of it with things like the Budget Control Act."

Thinking Our Way Through the Future "What will get us through this is investing in our human capital," Dempsey said, "because we're going to have to think our way through the future, not bludgeon our way through it."

Dempsey also touched on the cyber domain, noting that the United States does not enjoy the same significant military advantages in that domain that it has in others.

A cyberattack can be disruptive, he said, and also could be destructive to hardware and critical infrastructure. "We don't have an advantage – it's a level playing field," he said. "And that makes this chairman very uncomfortable."

701 AS hauls SC Army National Guard Black Hawks during joint training

By Army Maj. Cindi King South Carolina National Guard Public Affairs

U.S. Army National Guard photo / Staff Sgt. Di Giovine

U.S. Soldiers from Company A, 1-111th Aviation Battalion, South Carolina Army National Guard, load a UH-60 Black Hawk onto a C-17 Globemaster III from the 701st Airlift Squadron, 315th Airlift Wing, Joint Base Charleston, during drill weekend at McEntire Joint National Guard Base, Eastover, S.C., Jan. 10, 2015. The joint training exercise allows both units to gain knowledge, practice, and experience loading a UH-60 Black Hawk, and provides an opportunity for the South Carolina Army National Guard to meet the Army’s Future Force projection of a knowledge-based component of a joint, interagency, intergovernmental, multinational (JIIM) force.

EASTOVER, S.C. – After more than a decade of serving in combat together, various branches of service and components continuously look for ways to sustain and further develop their interoperability and relationships. For Soldiers in the South Carolina Army National Guard, drill weekend, Jan. 10, 2015, was an ideal opportunity to work with Airmen from Joint Base Charleston at McEntire Joint National Guard Base, Eastover, S.C. The joint training event was to practice loading a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter for transport into a Joint Base Charleston C-17 Globemaster III for air transport.

"The last time the majority of our Soldiers loaded one of our helicopters into a cargo aircraft was in 2008 for deployment to Iraq," said 1st Sgt. Kenneth Caldwell, Company A, 1-111th Aviation Battalion, S.C. Army National Guard. "We have many young Soldiers who have never had a chance to see how this works."

An Air Force Reserve team from the 701st Airlift Squadron, 315th Airlift Wing, Joint Base Charleston, S.C., flew their C-17 to McEntire Joint National Guard Base for their drill weekend to execute the air transport training with the South Carolina Army National Guard.

Master Sgt. Eric Walker, a loadmaster with the 315th Airlift Control Flight at Joint Base Charleston, said the training went very well and they hope the two units can train more in the future.

"There are lots of areas where we can help and be creative with training opportunities," said Walker. "Sometimes the first step is just asking the question, can it be done?"

"Training like this is important because we can identify issues now, so if have to load for long distance deployments and can't self-deploy, our Soldiers will know how it is done," said Caldwell.

The morning included a safety brief, a loadmaster overview of what would take place, preparations for the UH-60 Black Hawk to be pushed onto the C17 ramp using a small tow and then carefully guiding it on the ramp.

The goal was to load one helicopter nose first, and the other one tail first to demonstrate to the teams how each is configured when secured on the Globemaster III. After one of the Black Hawks was loaded, the C-17 pilots took the Soldiers for a short takeoff and landing so they could see how cargo is secured and have the experience of being in a large cargo aircraft with their Black Hawk.

Caldwell added the training was equally valuable to him, because he recently returned from a state partnership engagement in Colombia, where he assisted the Colombian military practice air load their helicopters onto a cargo aircraft too.

"There are many skills that are a part of the air load, to include folding the blades, removing antennae and hazardous materials certification," Caldwell added.

"The importance of this training is simply doing what you plan for real and seeing if the results are what you expected," said Lt. Col. Ron Schier, 701st AS and aircraft commander.

"This weekend we were able to find a few areas that need improvement and when it comes time to employ this training operationally this training will be to credit for a successful mission."

Operation Supplement Safety: "Whey"ing your options

By Airman 1st Class Bonnie Grantham 319th Air Base Wing Public Affairs

GRAND FORKS AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. – In the Air Force culture, physical fitness is being pushed more and more each day. It is considered a vital pillar to Comprehensive Airman Fitness. With it playing such a huge role in an Airman's life and career, it makes sense that Airmen are reaching out to different resources to improve their personal fitness. In an effort to better themselves, many Airmen are delving into the supplement world head-first.

It is important to understand that while supplements say that they will make you "stronger," "faster," and "healthier," there's no real scientific evidence that they actually do.

"There's no real scientific research on these supplements," said Leah Melquist, the Health and Wellness Center health promotion manager at Grand Forks Air Force Base, N.D. "Anyone can make supplements, and they never go through the Food and Drug Administration."

One of the most popular supplements that is often overlooked is the energy drink. Not many people think of energy drinks as supplements, but anything that completes or enhances something else when added to it is a supplement by definition.

"Energy drinks are considered supplements, and they are not recommended," said Melquist.

"They are loaded with too much caffeine for even a healthy heart."

Although, that's not to say that you have to cut them out completely. It's important to remember to drink them in moderation, and be sure to space out how often they are consumed, said Melquist.

How can an Airman be informed when making decisions about choosing supplements then?

The first step to making an informed decision would be to talk to your healthcare provider.

"Always talk to your doctor before trying a new supplement," said Melquist. "When people with undiagnosed heart conditions take supplements that accelerate their heart rate, it can be lethal. It's also important to let your doctor know what else you're taking so you can understand how the different drugs will interact together."

Another way to stay educated is to use online resources such as the Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database (http://www.naturaldatabase.com) and the Office of Dietary Supplements (http://ods.od.nih.gov). The DoD has even created a website named Human Performance Research Center (http://hprc-online.org), that was designed to guide service members to make healthy, informed decisions about the supplements they choose. On the DoD website, service members can learn which supplements are banned by the DoD and which supplements the DoD considers safe.

Since supplements do not have to undergo tests by the FDA, the consumers are considered the testing agents.

"We are essentially human guinea pigs for supplements because they are not regulated or tested before they hit the shelf," said Melquist.

This is why the third way to research supplements is by reading reviews on the internet and

knowing which brands are popular and trusted.

"I read reviews on the internet and different websites by people who have used the supplement," said Airman Dakota Stantz, 69th Maintenance Squadron aircraft structural maintenance apprentice. "I read how people have reacted to the supplement and how it has helped them."

Stantz has been taking a protein supplement and amino acids off and on for the past six years. The supplements he uses are to help him gain weight in muscle mass and maintain it longer than he would be able to without the supplements.

Another supplement user, Senior Airman Abel Trejo, 319th Logistics Readiness Squadron fuels journeyman, said he also recommends reading reviews before trying a new product.

"I read reviews on products and the nutrition facts," said Trejo. "Don't just take something because someone tells you to."

When considering choosing a supplement, it's important to remember that they are not regulated, and the nutrition label doesn't always list every ingredient in the product. Researching brands and using well-known brands, taking only the recommended serving size and looking for thirdparty testing labels on supplements helps to ensure that the product in question is safe for use.

Also, whether you're looking to gain weight or lose weight, always remember that no supplement is more important than food. Most ingredients in supplements actually come from food. It is possible to research supplements and find that some foods work in the same way and are also cheaper than the product in question. For instance, green tea and green tea extract can help boost a person's metabolism as well as energy without the harmful side effects that weight loss stimulants can pose on one's heart.

Although he might not be an expert, experts probably will agree with Airman Justin House, 319th Civil Engineer Squadron firefighter apprentice, when he says that food trumps all.

"Food is the best supplement you can take," said House. "There are a lot of unsafe supplements out there, and anything more than food and protein is probably unnecessary."

Chapel Corner Cold? Hope for better times

By Chaplain, Navy Lt. Daniel Ashland Joint Base Charleston Chapel

When I see the temperature in the teens here in Charleston, with wind chills approaching zero, it is a shock to the system and a painful experience being outside.

I immediately look to the forecast for some sort of warmer, brighter days ahead. You cannot help but start to hope for some better days, knowing that they will eventually come.

It is that hope for a brighter time ahead that

helps us respond to what might be some painful times that we can face. The hope even of a better tomorrow can help us through a difficult today, or a difficult season in our lives.

When it is cold we reach for something to put on to warm us, to help us cope. In the same way during a difficult season of life, reach out to resources to help you cope. Perhaps your faith, significant relationships, a book or life teaching can help restore your hope as you await brighter days ahead.
