It's no secret that I love my kitties. I have two cats, Darla (age 13) and Rufus (age 10), and I consider them to be more than mere pets; they are my “fur babies”. They are also incredibly spoiled, willful, demanding, and needy. I take full responsibility for their bad manners since I was fairly young when Darla came home and I thought it was just “so cute” that she liked to sit on my table, crawl through my cupboards and yowl when she wanted attention. When Rufus joined our little family unit, I had learned that discipline was my friend, but with Darla's bad influence, Rufus doesn't have many manners either, although she, at least, doesn't yowl. Needless to say, Kevin and I did not start dating until long after I had spoiled my fur babies rotten; had he been present from the beginning, I'm quite certain, and Kevin assures me, that Darla and Rufus would understand that the humans in the home are in charge, and not the other way around. When Kevin moved in, he did try to impose some control, unfortunately the cats have me very well trained and, despite Kevin's best efforts, I still tend to spoil them. The cats grew up sleeping with me and it took almost a month for me to break myself of the habit of letting them into the bedroom at night. I honestly think the change was harder for me than for the cats! Despite the difficulties posed by loving two spoiled kitties, they certainly make life interesting. As I am writing
this, Rufus is bird watching from our patio window. She thinks I can't see her, but is unaware that her feet are sticking out underneath the curtain. I can see them twitching in excitement. Darla has a blue plastic spring that she is absolutely in love with. It's her favourite toy and she will leap, pounce, run and attack that silly thing all hours of the day. Rufus is less refined in her taste of toys... she likes to steal the plastic covers from milk cartons. We also play fetch with a leather belt loop she scavenged when we cleanedout the closet. For me, the joy of watching them chase inanimate objects and lounge in their favourite sunny spot makes up for any trials and tribulations which may transpire when dealing with an opinionated feline. Kevin is less convinced, but I have often caught him cuddling with one of the cats. There is something so satisfying about having a lap-full of purring fur baby, cuddles and snuggles being a great way to end the day. Truly, I can't imagine life without them. 0001

LIVE WELL GETTING RID OF WINTER BLUES!! Spring has sprung… kind of! There is something hopeful, warm, and promising about a sunny day in March. The light, which during winter represents an icy and fleeting glow, is now a warm blanket trying to reheat the frozen ground and our frozen hands. Having gained an hour of sunlight, our bodies and minds are starting to remember warm summer nights and the long, sunburnt days spent at the beach. Not only is the sunlight a reminder of summer, but it is a ray of hope for those suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder. Strangely enough, the exact causes of Seasonal Affective Disorder, ironically abbreviated as SAD, are still unknown. However, with the present research, experts believe SAD to be a form of depression resulting from seasonal variations in sunlight. The brain uses temperature and sunlight to regulate the body’s daily cycle of waking, eating, sleeping, etc. During winter, the decline
in temperature and hours of daily sunlight can cause a disruption in the brain’s circadian rhythm, also known as the “body clock”. Without a proper functioning “body clock”, depression-like symptoms can appear. The most common symptoms for SAD include: fatigue, weight gain, difficulty concentrating, and feelings of anxiety or despair. Although only 2-3% of people suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, approximately 15% of people living in the northern hemisphere report experiencing the less severe “winter blues”. SAD symptoms typically occur in the months of November and December, and disappear by April or May. For some, the symptoms disappear drastically, but for others, the symptoms disappear over time. Those suffering from SAD and the winter blues can benefit from increased exposure to sunlight. For people with mild symptoms, spending time outdoors and increasing exercise may be sufficient remedies. In addition, a winter vacation to a warm and sunny destination may temporarily relieve SAD symptoms - not
a bad way to release serotonin! For those suffering from a severe case of Seasonal Affective Disorder, light therapy is a simple and non-invasive therapy option. Light therapy involves sitting directly underneath a special fluorescent lightbox for 10 to 15 minutes daily, depending on the severity of the diagnosis. The lightbox replicates the sun’s light and helps restore the brain’s circadian rhythms. Like depression or bipolar disorder, antidepressant medications are effective for relieving SAD symptoms. Thanks to change in light, little buds of happiness are blooming across Saint John. The winter makes Canadians stronger and able to enjoy summer for what it truly is: a beautiful time to be alive, with smiling faces and freckled cheeks. 0008

SELF ESTEEM THE MEANING OF LIFE Life. There is no one definition that can be agreed upon. Biologists use words such as cells, DNA, molecules and electromagnetism in their definition. Alchemists believe life involves earth, wind, fire and water. What does ‘life’ mean to you? In some cases, definitions are simple. ‘Life’ is not simple, nor is the meaning of it. It consists of a collection of concepts. Life can be defined as the existence of an individual human being or animal; a state of living characterized by metabolism, capacity for growth, reaction to stimuli and reproduction; the power of adaptation to environment originating internally. Lost yet? Trying to define life can drive you crazy! I believe the reason there is no clear cut definition is because it is different for each of us. Life is a process, not a substance. How you choose to define your life gives it meaning. Life IS what you make it! So,
make it interesting, make it count. Simple realizations can help you find meaning. In my 40+ years here on earth, this is what I’ve learned so far: The meaning of life is your own. Don’t waste time on things you don’t enjoy. You will never excel at something you hate. Patience, passion and dedication come easily when you are doing what you love; Do not allow others to define your life. Do not be afraid of others’ opinions. Fear paralyzes you. If you let it, it will only get worse and take over your life. Listen to your inner voice and go for it. Live your life, your way - no apologies; Take full responsibility for your life. Limit bad habits (I only have 9 or 10) and lead a happier life. Let your life be shaped by your decisions not the decisions of others; Appreciate the people in your life. Throughout life’s cycle, people come and go. It is the ones who have stayed and encouraged you along your journey that
truly matter. Your friends and family will always be an infinite source of love and strength. They should not be taken for granted; Time is valuable. Do not waste it on regret. The past is just that, passed. Let it go. Begin again with the new knowledge you have acquired; Be a warrior, not a worrier. You can let your life be created by circumstances, missing it day by day, hour after hour or you can choose to live it fully. We all have potential but it takes a lot of courage to realize it. Though ‘life’ may not have one precise definition, its meaning is clear…. choose to have a meaningful life and you will find its meaning. 0027 Martha Chown Mental Health Facilitator/ Coordinator

Home Improvement Growing up, I used to watch mom begin her spring-cleaning during the March Break. She would scrub walls and floors, wash the windows and clean out closets and drawers. As the weather became warmer, she would move outside, pulling weeds, edging the gardens and pouring through seed catalogs in preparation for spring planting. Dad would be busy downstairs in the garage, puttering with the lawn mower and tinkering with other tools in preparation for his upcoming spring and summer projects. It always amazed me how busy my parents were around the
house and I can remember thinking “when I grow up, that won’t be me. I’ll make sure that I have time to relax and read and enjoy myself”. Now that I have my own home, I understand why mom and dad were so busy; I also understand that these projects were less about “work” and more about that sense of pride in home ownership. Spring is the perfect time to jump start all of the little jobs around the home that have been put off while dealing with the trials and tribulations of the winter season in the maritime provinces. Whether it
is adding a refreshing coat of paint to a room or general maintenance to decks and roofs, the improving weather makes it possible to get out and start those home improvement projects. In our home, that generally means a “honey do” list for Kevin full of the boring, general maintenance projects that need done, but I don’t want to deal with. Chores such as checking the roof, cleaning the outside windows, power-washing the outside walls and fixing the screen door, which inevitably gets caught in the wind, all end up on Kevin’s list of things to do. Meanwhile, like mom taught

me, I start by giving the house a big clean, airing out the stale winter air while getting ready to spend my time landscaping and gardening. There is something very rewarding about a well-kept lawn and garden. A perfect expression of personality, gardening and landscaping is an art form that can be as simple or as complicated as one can imagine. A quick and often easy way to add curb appeal, whether elaborately staged with immaculately groomed shrubs, rock walls, pools, fences, and walkways, or a simple vegetable garden plot and potted flowers, the combinations and ideas are endless. Tips and tricks for home gardening can be found in magazines and many websites. The one tip each source agrees on is whether you decide to seek the experience of a pro, or are more a do-it-yourself person, a strong start makes for an easier season. For me, this means raking the yard and filling in sparse spots in the lawn with grass seed. Before I ever set foot in a nursery or
garden center, I weed and edge the garden, repair any holes in the rock wall and turn over the earth. Once the “work” is done, it’s time to start adding colour with fresh blooms. For more ideas for adding curb appeal check out: KV Overhead Door “garage door services” (kvoverheaddoor. ca), Urban Landscaping, “where imagination meets creation” (urbanlandscaping. ca/main.html) and Ernie’s

I would like to introduce KV Overhead Door as a new service to homeowners and small businesses in the greater Kennebecasis Valley area. Owner Stephen Laskey has been in the garage door industry since 1985 and offers his wealth of experience, whether it be troubleshooting door problems or assisting with the selection of a new door. We specialize in garage door repair, preventative maintenance and installation of new doors. Many of us rely on garage doors every day for their convenience and security. As the largest moving mechanism in your house these have to be maintained regularly to be reliable and have a smooth quiet operation. A lot can be told about your garage door by the way it sounds while opening or closing. Lubrication and adjustments are necessary over the years for your door to provide trouble-free safe reliable operation. Aesthetics also play a large role with garage door(s) often taking up as much as 30 to 40% of the homes front view. On average a good quality garage door will affect the resale value of a property as much as 1 to 4%. Electric openers create a priceless convenience and comfort in your every day environment. Openers eliminate the obligation to manually open and close your garage door and reduce the influence of uneasy weather such as snow. Along with convenience our company focuses on a safety program by providing openers which are approved by government regulations. All of our electric door openers are designed to act as locks when the door is closed and have two safety reversing systems to prevent a door from closing on an object. Openers
also come with a wide range of accessories for added convenience, the newest of which is battery backup. When the power goes out your door will operate normally for up to twelve cycles. Repairing garage doors often involves replacing worn-out parts, which we keep stocked on our service truck, no waiting for parts on order! Rollers, cables, weather-stripping, gear kits, remote controls, regular springs and high cycle springs. We offer same-day service and next day service making your next garage door repair super convenient.
Some Frequently Asked Questions About Garage Doors are:
I have weather-stripping on my garage door but the wind still blows in? Both the door and the weather-stripping can be adjusted so they work well together. Does the home link button built into my car work with all garage door openers? All garage door openers manufactured after 1985 do. If it’s older than that we can add a receiver to make it work. I can’t get my home link button in my vehicle programmed to my garage door? It can be tricky. If you can’t get it, give us a call, we will get it working for you.
Should I buy a steel garage door or aluminum? I have to hold the wall button in to close the Aluminum is lighter but it dents easier.

MORE THAN FITNESS THE MANY PILLARS OF WELLNESS When we think of wellness, the first thing that usually comes to mind for most of us is physical fitness. While this is certainly a very important component of wellness, it is but one of the many pillars of an overall healthy life and each one of the pillars of wellness supports the healthy foundation on which we build our overall health. In addition to our physical well being, other things to consider when trying to build a healthy, balanced lifestyle are your mental, emotional and spiritual wellness. Our mental wellness takes in our thoughts while our emotional fitness is all about how we feel. The spiritual aspect of wellness takes into account our values and how we treat and interact with others. With the extreme stress that we all face in today’s society, we can struggle with balancing these pillars with our overall wellness. By finding outlets in good friends and activities that bring us joy, we can help to balance these components. While it is extremely important to
participate in regular physical activity to keep our bodies healthy, finding activities that support our mental and emotional wellness is equally important. Practices such as meditation, yoga, drumming and Qi Gong can all be great practices to support these pillars. In addition to these four pillars, in order to achieve a true sense of wellbeing, we also need to consider our relational wellness which looks at how we connect with others. Having regular interaction with the people we surround ourselves with, from family to coworkers to social groups, is a very important part of a healthy, balanced lifestyle. This ties in closely with community wellness which looks at what we contribute and how we interact and participate in our community. Finally, we look at the pillars of professional and financial wellness. What is it that we do and how does it satisfy us and feed our sense of well-being? Are we
happy with our choice of career and does it help to balance us or is this a pillar that comes up short? Hand in hand with this pillar is our financial pillar which looks at what we have and how we feel about our finances. In order to remain truly balanced, we need to have stability in these areas and be happy with what we have and what we do. By focusing on these eight pillars and ensuring we have stability in each area, we can build a solid sense of peace and well-being and live with a true overall sense of wellness. 0044

WELL RESTED HOW DO I GET USED TO WEARING A CPAP MASK? If you’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnea, or have symptoms such as snoring, gasping in your sleep and daytime sleepiness, you may be prescribed a CPAP machine by your doctor. Although worth the effort, getting accustomed to CPAP can take time. Here are some tricks and tips to help you along the way, getting you the good night sleep you long for. Some suggest that everyone take baby steps when getting used to CPAP. I suggest, however, trying the mask while sleeping right off the bat. You may be surprised how easily you take to it. Starting with a nap may take the pressure off a bit, since you do not have a long eight hour stretch ahead of you. If you are struggling with the mask, can’t fall asleep or repeatedly have to readjust the straps, go ahead and take it off. It is meant to help you sleep, not agitate you so much that you cannot fall asleep. Once you are good and sleepy or, perhaps even fall asleep
and wake up a little, put it back on. Your body and brain are much more likely to doze off very quickly at this point. Even while you are sleeping, you are getting used to the mask and the air blowing through the mask. You are becoming accustomed to the treatment. If you are quite anxious about the thought of a mask on your face, or have a history of claustrophobia, let your Respiratory Therapist know. Personally, I have helped dozens of extremely claustrophobic clients learn to love their mask. People with sleep apnea are much more likely to suffer from claustrophobia. It makes perfect sense. Sleep apnea is a disorder where your own throat tissue closes off and chokes you repeatedly through the night. That may sound extreme, but it is exactly what is happening. The panic you feel when thinking of something over your face, that might obstruct your air, is a natural reaction to your constant choking all night. You don’t consciously
know it’s happening, but your brain does. With special techniques to get used to the mask slowly and show you that you actually get more air with the mask, the panic sensation goes away and your mask becomes your new best friend. Maybe even a life saver. Wearing a CPAP mask is very similar to getting glasses for the first time, or wearing a wedding ring. At first you are so conscious of it, you fiddle with it and think you’ll never get used to it. Eventually, it becomes your new normal and you feel lost without your new best friend. 0038
