1ST & 2ND SHIFT
Plains Talk by Amy Hull LISW
A WEIGHTY MATTER Stress is unhealthy for mind and body. When we experience stress or trauma, our bodies release a hormone called “cortisol.” Normally, levels of this “stress hormone” are highest in the morning and decrease as the day goes on. However, those who experience chronic stress and/ or have a history of trauma have smaller declines in their cortisol levels. This abnormal pattern of cortisol depletion, called a “flatter diurnal cortisol slope,” has been linked to the progression of cancer, hardening of the arteries, and other diseases. Researchers have also found that a flatter diurnal cortisol slope among expectant mothers is associated with an increased risk of giving birth to lower birth weight babies. This finding should prompt stressed pregnant women to seek counseling. Managing stress is important to maintaining good health. Working with one of our experienced therapists, you will develop effective methods of reducing and coping with everyday stress. Minimize your risk of long term health issues today. Improve your quality of life, please call our office today at 712364-3500 or 800-325-1192. Our address is 700 East 2nd St., Ida Grove. We help people cope with everyday living. P.S. If maternal cortisol levels become abnormally high, they can reduce blood flow to the fetus and deprive it of much-needed oxygen and nutrients.

THANK YOU: “There are no words” has been said to us many, many times over the last couple of weeks, & now it’s our turn to say, “There are no words.” There are truly not enough words to fully express our heartfelt thanks for the outpouring of love, prayers & support you have extended to our family during this most unimaginable time. Whether you sent a card, memorial, flowers or plant, brought food to the house or just thought of us in passing & said a prayer, we are forever grateful. To the Ewing Funeral Home, your compassion & guidance were instrumental in helping us get through that first week & plan a beaufitul service for our Lauren. To Pastor Kevin, you are our rock. Your message was a difficult one to deliver, yet you knew just what we needed, and, after hearing it, we left the church with a little more understanding, a little lighter heart & a hope for healing. To Staley’s Catering, you once again provided an excellent meal that allowed us much needed time to visit with our family & friends. To the ladies of United Church of Christ, all of your hard work was noticed & greatly appreciated. Our hearts are broken, & our world is upside down, but, with our faith & continued prayers from our family & friends, we will begin to heal. We are comforted to know how much others care & truly want to express our deepest gratitude for each & every one of you. Thank you. Mason & Sheryl Goodenow Maggie, Brian & Avery Mae Abby Brenda, Terrance, Aidan & Clare Jenni, Greg, Cooper, Charlee, John Matt “In life, we loved you dearly; In death, we love you still. In our hearts, you hold a place no one will ever fill.” NOTICE: Get out, have some fun & get some fresh air. We would like you to join the Ida Grove Golf Club.
