HOW TO DETERMINE IF IT’S TIME TO DOWNSIZE

Cost: Perhaps no variable affects senior homeowners’ decisions to downsize their homes as much as cost. No one wants to outlive their money, and downsizing to a smaller home can help seniors reduce their monthly expenses by a significant margin. Even homeowners who have long since paid off their mortgages can save substantial amounts of money by downsizing to a smaller home or even an apartment or condominium. Lower property taxes, reduced insurance premiums and the need to pay for fewer repairs are just some of the ways downsizing can save seniors money.

Alexis Russell on Mindful Journaling: A Path to

Growth, Healing, and Connection

AAlexis Russell, a Washington, DC native, entrepreneur, and writer, who now calls Rochester home with her husband and their two daughters, has dedicated her life to fostering creativity, mindfulness, and personal growth. With a Women’s Entrepreneurship Certificate from Cornell University following study in sociology, psychology, and anthropology at RIT, Alexis founded Inspiring Experiences, LLC and co-founded EXP Studio, LLC to build spaces for innovation and community connection.

A lifelong journaler, Alexis shares her experiences and insights into how mindful journaling can transform lives—a practice she discovered more profoundly during her journey through postpartum depression and motherhood.

For Alexis, journaling has been a constant since childhood, inspired by her grandmother’s advice to write everything down. Over the years, her practice evolved from spontaneous notes and reflections to a lifeline during challenging times, especially a er the birth of her first daughter. Alexis struggled with postpartum depression, and she felt disconnected, numb, and overwhelmed by grief for her former identity and the unexpected challenges of motherhood. “I struggled to connect with my daughter,” she recalls. “My body was there, but my mind felt lightyears away.”

rough journaling, Alexis asked herself questions, reflected on her emotions, and gradually reconnected with herself and her daughter. is journey inspired her StoryCards™, rooted in the questions and insights that emerged during this pivotal period.

Journaling, Alexis believes, is more than a practice; it’s a sanctuary and a tool, “a space for release—a way to step back and process your experiences, thoughts, and emotions without the weight of judgment or expectation.” She emphasizes that there is no “right” way to journal. Instead, it’s about showing up authentically and using it as a mirror and a map for personal growth.

Driven by a desire to help others, Alexis shares her experiences to remind struggling moms they’re not alone. By offering tools and techniques that helped her find clarity and peace, she hopes to inspire others to do the same. “Helping others with love and compassion is at the heart of everything I do,” she says. “Together, we can find a way forward.”

Starting a mindful journaling practice is about keeping it simple and letting go of perfection—just decide to start and experiment with techniques until you find what resonates, she says. Consistency, perhaps journaling at a set time each day, perhaps responding to guided prompts, perhaps joining a supportive community of likeminded journalers, helps make it a meaningful habit, but it’s important to be patient with yourself. Mindful journaling is a personal space to reflect, grow, and embrace your life’s journey.

Mindful journaling extends beyond the page, also fostering connections to other mindful habits, such as eating. Alexis notes, “Journaling helped me reflect on my emotions and habits, which directly impact how I approach food.” Identifying emotional eating triggers and differentiating between physical and emotional hunger has transformed her relationship with food. Together, mindful practices

promote self-compassion and deeper connections with one’s body and habits.

Alexis’ advice to anyone curious about mindful journaling is simple: “Give it a try. If you’re searching for something to help you through tough times or a way to cherish life’s beautiful moments more meaningfully, mindful journaling might be exactly what you need.” e practice, she believes, is a space for reflection, growth, and selfdiscovery, a journey that unfolds uniquely for each person. Slowing down, being present, and cultivating awareness can transform not only how we interact with the world but also how we connect with ourselves.

PAW’S CORNER

NEW YEAR, NEW CAT

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My parents at Christmas said I’m finally old enough to have a kitten! We are going to the local Humane Society this weekend to adopt one. What suggestions do you have so that I train the kitten right?

-- William in Manassas, Virginia

Send us a photo! and a brief write-up of your pet and we’ll feature it!

Submit at: gvpennysaver.com under Share With Us or mail to: P.O. Box 340, Avon, NY 14414. Pets will be published at discretion of GVPS.

DEAR WILLIAM: Grab a book on cat care at the local bookstore or library and read it cover to cover. While cats are considered to be easier to care for than dogs, they still need to be properly house-trained and given a routine (which helps immensely with reducing anxiety-related behaviors, too).

I’m sure you’ve already stocked up on kitten food, though it’s a good idea not to buy too much to begin with. You’ll want to try a few different brands and types of food -- dry, wet or fresh -- to see what the kitten likes and how well he responds to each.

When you pick up your new kitten, talk to the shelter staff to learn about any particular behaviors the kitten has, any health issues that need monitoring, and any advice they have for getting him or her settled in. Cats being prepared for adoption are sometimes fostered out to make sure they can live easily with humans and to observe them for any health or behavioral issues that need to be ironed out before they’re ready to go to a forever family. e shelter will have that information for you so that there are no surprises (like territorial peeing).

Congratulations, and best of luck! Sounds like you will soon have a new friend in the household.

Be Respectful of the Times You’re Sending Texts

I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

Why is it people think nothing of sending texts messages at all kinds of times?!

I’m tired of getting awakened by people sending me texts at unreasonable hours. How about some consideration?

I’ve been asked, why don’t I just turn my phone off at night?

Answer:

I would like to say thank you so very much to the wonderful woman (found out she is a nurse) who helped me out in the Wegmans parking lot awhile back. I was having a medical issue and she assisted me with my bags and walked me all the way to my car. I did not catch her name but I have and will continue to pay it forward.

1. I have both a son and father who have life-threatening medical conditions that I’ve multiple times been called for assistance on and I don’t want to not be there to help them. If you’re OK with missing a call about a loved one, that’s your choice, but it’s not mine.

2. If I had a fire, medical emergency, or break-in, I sure don’t want to wait for my phone to boot up.

Before you send someone a text, how about you ask yourself:

1. Do I expect the person I’m texting wouldn’t be sleeping now?

2. Is this a time I would call someone, instead of texting?

If the answers to those questions aren’t YES, then can I suggest you write your text so you don’t forget, but send at a later time?

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

Steroid Injections Provide Amazing Relief From Shingles Pain

DEAR DR. ROACH: I read your recent column on shingles. I am 66 and in fairly good health. I had both Shingrix shots about five years ago and take hydroxyurea for polycythemia vera (PV).

Around August 1, I noticed some spots on my forearm that appeared to be a spider bite. I went to my family doctor, and she immediately diagnosed me with shingles and put me on gabapentin, which didn’t help much. The next month was complete misery. I never really had itching or an extensive rash, but intense pain and burning developed from the top of my neck down to my left thumb and forefinger. My wife read that hydroxyurea lowers your immune system, which is probably why I had such a bad case of shingles despite the Shingrix shots. My cousin is a retired anesthesiologist and recommended an epidural steroid injection (ESI) that would help me immediately. I had the injection, and within 24 hours, I had an 80% improvement in my pain level. Over the next month, the pain decreased another 10% to 15%. I went from being almost incapacitated to being able to live again in 24 hours. The outcome was life-changing!

It seems that doctors need to be brought up to date on ESIs for shingles. I understand that the studies are inconclusive, but the on-the-ground results seem to show that it is effective. The pain from shingles has to be experienced to really understand how debilitating it can be. ESIs are fairly inexpensive, and even if they only helped slightly, they would be worth the cost. To have the improvement I found is priceless. -- Anon.

ANSWER: I often recommend the vaccine to prevent shingles, but as your case shows, the vaccine isn’t perfect. I agree that your PV and its treatment with hydroxyurea may have predisposed you to the complication of shingles you had, called postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). You are quite right that the pain can be extraordinarily severe.

I am glad you wrote because steroid injections are not a treatment that I have written about before. As you say, not all trials found a benefit, but the largest trial found that intrathecal injections (which are similar to epidural injections but are found to be more effective in a small trial) led to excellent or good pain relief in 90% of people with intractable PHN, compared to 4% in people who didn’t receive treatment.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a healthy 50-year-old man. When I was at the pharmacy recently, they said I could get a vaccine for pneumonia. Is this something I should do? -- S.I.

ANSWER: The pneumonia vaccine at age 50 is a new recommendation by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. The risk for developing severe pneumonia from the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae starts to increase at age 50 and becomes much higher after 65. The new vaccines (PCV20 and PCV21 under the brand name Prevnar) have long-lasting protection for many strains of this bacterial species. If you haven’t had this vaccine and are over 50, you should consider it during your next visit. (It’s OK to get the vaccine at the same time as the flu or COVID vaccines.)

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2025 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

POISONOUS PLANT TO AVOID AROUND THE HOUSE

Foxglove: According to The Spruce: Decor, foxgloves are among the most toxic specimens commonly grown on landscapes. They are widely coveted for their pink, purple and white bell-shaped flowers that grow in tall spires. They’re also deer- and rabbit-resistant, making them especially popular. However, foxgloves contain potent cardiac glycosides that can be lethal in high doses.

DIFFERENT WAYS TO HELP RESOLUTIONS STICK THIS YEAR

Set up an accountability system. Institute a rewards system for your success. You might even use a monetary system as a double-bonus. When you stick to a resolution over a predetermined period, put a dollar in a jar. If you fall off course, take a dollar away. Find the incentive that works for you.

Here’s A Tip

* Toothpaste works well as a silver polish. Wet your silver, plop a little non-gel toothpaste on it and rub gently with a damp, clean rag. Rinse well with a separate rag, and buff dry. en just step back and let it shine.

* If you’ve ever oversalted soup, don’t worry; here’s a great tip to recover your meal. Just cut a single potato into several large slices. Add them to the soup, and they will soak up the extra salt. Remove before serving.

* S.W. of South Carolina has this tip to share: “If you can’t seem to keep track of your keys, make an extra set for those mornings when you are running late and can’t spare the time to look for them. It has saved me a lot of stress, for sure.”

NETWORKING STRATEGIES FOR THE DIGITAL AGE

Personalize your connections. The days of sharing a post-work drink with a colleague may be over. But networking in the digital age need not be impersonal. When using professional networking sites such as LinkedIn, personalize the messages you send to other professionals when inviting them to join your network. Use the message to briefly introduce yourself and explain your connection before explaining why you want the person to become part of your network. Welcome any questions and warmly thank them for their time. This personal touch can make you stand out in a digital sea of people, many of whom simply want to add other professionals to their network without necessarily making genuine connections.
