When left untreated, PAD can result in limb amputation and shortened life expectancy. Those with diabetes have an increased risk of PAD-related complications including ischemic wounds, diabetic foot ulcers and amputations. The experts at Modern Vascular have helped thousands of patients save their limbs - and lives - using minimally-invasive, outpatient procedures to restore blood flow, down to the toe. Early intervention is critical.

This is excellent advice for times such as this. For the last four weeks we’ve been ambushed by political ads. As if COVID wasn’t enough, we just experienced the most heated election in the history of our great nation. As our publication is being sent to print, the outcome of the election remains undecided, and yet I’m holding to the word GRATITUDE this month. Regardless of the outcome, our country will move forward and I’m grateful to live in a country where every vote counts.

GIVE THANKS Carve a good mood groove
The holidays are a reminder to take inventory of all the blessings we have in our lives. Making gratitude a habit can have positive benefits to your own happiness, as well as those around you, by creating stronger bonds in your relationships, finding kindness in others and carving new “good mood” grooves into your brain. What’s more, these gratitude rituals are relatively simple to do and can be performed anywhere at any time. Practice these rituals with your family:
1: Amazing Grace
The dinner table is a great place to reflect and reinforce our feelings of gratitude. Before you break bread, start at one end of the table and encourage every person to share something they are thankful for in their lives.
2: Focus on the Haves
Write down three positive things you are grateful for every night before you go to bed. Keeping a journal and a pen on the nightstand will serve as a reminder and help you establish this ritual.
3: The Write Stuff
Think of someone in your life who has made a significant positive impact and write a letter expressing how much that person means to you. If possible, meet this person face-to-face and read the letter aloud.
4: Thankful Awareness
Try a new experience with the family and look for teachable moments, such as volunteering at a food bank or handing out gifts at a children’s hospital. Sometimes, the best way to appreciate all of the good in our own world is to take a moment to bear witness to the situations of those who are suffering.

Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse. Henry Van Dyke

Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings. William Arthur Ward
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. Melody Beattie
I am happy because I’m grateful. I choose to be grateful. That gratitude allows me to be happy. Will Arnett
At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us. Albert Schweitzer
THANKFULNESS An attitude of gratitude goes a long way.
At the age of 18, I made up my mind to never have another bad day in my life. I dove into an endless sea of gratitude from which I’ve never emerged.
Patch Adams
Perhaps nothing helps us make the movement from our little selves to a larger world than remembering God in gratitude. Such a perspective puts God in view in all of life, not just in the moments we set aside for worship or spiritual disciplines. Not just in the moments when life seems easy.

REFLECT
PRACTICE GRATITUDE
What are your thankful for?
Sometimes it’s easier to focus on what we don’t have, rather than what we do have. It’s important to take time out and remember all of the things to be thankful for that many of us take for granted. Here are things to be thankful for in your everyday life. These are great reminders to treasure everything you have.
Good health Even if you’re health isn’t great, it could be worse and you likely still have some working parts to be thankful for. Good friends Often, it’s the quality of friendships, not the quantity. Mistakes If we never made mistakes, we wouldn’t learn much so it is one of those things we should be thankful for. Fresh air Being able to step outside to breathe in fresh air is a good reminder how many little things we should be thankful for. Laughter Without laughter, the world would be a sad place.
Time Although we often don’t think there’s enough of it, time is something we shouldn’t take for granted. Love The world sure would be a different place if we lacked the ability to love. Kindness of strangers Never take the kindness of a stranger for granted. Pain Without pain, it would be difficulty to appreciate life’s joys. Children Watching children laugh, grow, and dream can keep things in perspective. Wisdom Thankfully, we grow smarter over time.

Eyesight Being able to see allows us to view the world’s beauty. Sunsets Sunsets are a reminder that we should enjoy the simple things in life.

HELPFUL HABITS
Giving thanks for and with your spouse is one of the most significant habits you can build into your marriage. Gratitude is an essential ingredient in any relationship, but it takes intentionality and time to put it into practice. When we approach marriage with thankfulness, relational satisfaction rises. Here are a few specific ways that gratitude can strengthen and protect your marriage: Gratitude helps us remember the reasons we first fell in love with our spouse. Stating words of appreciation for our times
together sparks memories of particularly strong seasons that can sustain commitment during harder seasons. Gratitude increases love, fun, and forgiveness. Study after study confirms that individuals who consistently give thanks are more likely to experience positive emotions and satisfying interactions. The same is doubly true for marriage. When two people are committed to seeing and appreciating life’s gifts together, their perspectives change and broaden. Anxiety tends to lessen, and shared enjoyment increases. Gratitude enhances sex. True mutual thankfulness deepens a couple’s emotional and spiritual bonds, which inevitably fosters a more intense physical connection. When we appreciate one another authentically, the risk in vulnerability lessens. Affirmation creates a safer space and a more tender connection. Gratitude creates a mutual cycle of appreciation. It’s simply human nature that when a person feels appreciated, they’re more likely to state appreciation for others. Practicing gratitude in marriage can have a snowball effect because as one partner expresses

A thankful heart is a grateful heart. thanks and affirmation, the same more naturally flows from the other. Occasional small thanks can lead to a whole and underlying culture of gratitude. Gratitude softens criticism. Harsh words sting and have the power to tear down confidence in a marriage. When words of affirmation and gratitude become consistent and integral to a relationship, they slowly lay a foundation of trust that cushions the blow of harsh words. Here are some practical ways to practice gratitude in your marriage: Make a shared gratitude journal. Together, write down three things you’re each thankful for at the end of every day. Studies show this practice has a significant impact on happiness. Write a list of all the things you appreciate about your partner. Having a written record of gratitude will prove powerful on the days marked by frustration or loneliness. Remember together. Enjoy reflecting on past memories and seasons that you’ve shared. Be actively grateful for the journey you’ve walked together, stating appreciation for one another and for shared experiences. This Thanksgiving appreciate the many gifts in your life, and be especially grateful for the partner beside you. Make a commitment–together–to extend the practice of giving thanks each day.

SHOWING YOUR PET LOVE THIS HOLIDAY Tips for our furry friends
1. Spend quality time together. Go on some extra long walks with your dog, extend your cat’s playtime sessions and brush your pet’s coat. These activities may help alleviate situational anxiety. 2. Pamper your pet. The holiday season can be stressful on every member of the family, including your dog.
SPORTS QUIZ Answers on pg. 39
1. Name the race-car driver who won the 1996 Indianapolis 500 and the 2000 Indy Racing League season championship. 2. What Chicago Cubs manager went on a profanityladen tirade to reporters after Wrigley Field fans booed the team in 1983?
3. Stuff your pet’s stocking. It’s a fun way to include them in a family tradition, and also a great opportunity to give products a test run.
3. What college team did Jennie Finch play for?
4. Decorate safely. Steer clear of plants toxic to pets, like holly, poinsettias and mistletoe; and avoid stringy items such as tinsel, curling ribbons or other tree and gift trimmings that can cause intestinal blockage.

HERE’S A TIP
TIP 1 Remove mildew from plastic shower curtains by spraying them with a mix of bleach and water, or just toss them in the washing machine with your next load of towels. TIP 2 If your vacuum has a paper filter, spray it with your favorite perfume or essential oil. It will blow into the air as you vacuum, leaving behind a pleasant scent. TIP 3 Use a permanent marker to put your initials on your charging cord. They all look the same, especially if they are white.
CUSTOM DRAPES
TIP 4 A worn-out toothbrush can do a great job of cleaning fixtures. Simply brush the wet bristles of a toothbrush over the CMYK ART base and it’ll get in those nooks and crannies you can’t reach with a sponge.

TIP 5 If you’re looking for a more secretive way to hide a key rather than those “hide-a-key” boxes, try sealing a key inside a plastic baggie and bury it in a spot known only to family members.

HISTORY
THE MORE YOU KNOW
Is it time to buy the turkey? In 1939, it would have been difficult to plan your Thanksgiving dinner for 12. Today, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. But that was not always the case. When Abraham Lincoln was president in 1863, he proclaimed the last Thursday of November to be our national Thanksgiving Day. In 1865, Thanksgiving was celebrated the first Thursday of November, because of a proclamation by President Andrew Johnson, and, in 1869, President Ulysses S. Grant chose the third Thursday for Thanksgiving Day. In all other years, until 1939, Thanksgiving was celebrated as Lincoln had designated, the last Thursday in November. Then, in 1939, responding to pressure from the National Retail Dry Goods Association to extend the Christmas shopping season, President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved the holiday back a week, to the next-to-last Thursday of the month. The association had made a similar request in 1933, but at that time, Roosevelt thought the change might cause too much confusion. As it turns out, waiting to make the change in 1939 didn’t avoid any confusion. At the time, the president’s 1939 proclamation only directly applied to the District of Columbia and federal employees. While governors usually followed the president’s lead with state proclamations for the same day, on this year, 23 of the 48 states observed Thanksgiving Day on November 23, 23 states celebrated on November 30, and Texas and Colorado declared both Thursdays to be holidays. Football coaches scrambled to reschedule games set for November 30, families didn’t know when to have their holiday meals, calendars were inaccurate in half of the country, and people weren’t sure when to start their Christmas shopping.
24
THE GRAND SEASOAN SEASON • NOVEMBER • NOVEMBER2020 2020
After two years of confusion and complaint, President Roosevelt signed legislation establishing Thanksgiving Day as the fourth Thursday in November. Roosevelt, recognizing the problems caused by his 1939 decree, had announced a plan to return to the traditional Thanksgiving date in 1942. But Congress introduced the legislation to ensure that future presidential proclamations could not affect the scheduling of the holiday. Their plan to designate the fourth Thursday of the month allowed Thanksgiving Day to fall on the last Thursday in five out of seven years.

THANK YOU
SHOWING APPRECIATION
Tips for thanking everyday heroes this holiday season
1. Send a care package. Even if you can’t share appreciation in person, you can still say thanks with a care package filled with goodies your recipient loves. 2. Make a donation in their honor. Consider thanking those often unsung heroes doing the hard work of keeping our communities strong by making a donation to a charity close to their heart. 3. Give the gift of relaxation. Give those always in the service of others an excuse to practice some selfcare. Whether it’s an at-home spa kit, a new book to curl up with, or a nice bottle of wine, some of the most welcome gifts are those that help someone unwind. 4. Write a thank you note. There is something so personal about putting pen to paper. In this digital age of emails and texts, a heartfelt, handwritten letter or card can become a true keepsake.

WHAT HAPPENED IN HISTORY
November 16, 1959 The smash musical “The Sound of Music” opens on Broadway to the consternation of the real Maria von Trapp and her stepchildren. Nearly all of the particulars she related in her 1949 book, “The Story of the Trapp Family Singers,” were ignored by the creators of the musical. November 17, 1973 In the midst of the Watergate scandal that eventually ended his presidency, President Richard Nixon tells a group of newspaper editors that he is “not a crook.” November 18, 1883 American and Canadian railroads begin using four continental time zones to end the confusion of dealing with thousands of local times. Most Americans and Canadians quickly embraced their new time zones, however, it was not until 1918 that Congress officially adopted the railroad time zones. November 19, 1915 British airman Richard Bell Davies performs a daring rescue, swooping down in his plane to whisk a downed fellow pilot from behind the Turkish lines. The British government awarded him the Victoria Cross. November 20, 1947 Princess Elizabeth marries distant cousin Philip Mountbatten, former prince of Greece and Denmark, who renounced his titles to marry the English princess. Mountbatten was made the duke of Edinburgh. November 21, 1934 Teenager Ella Fitzgerald wins Amateur Night at Harlem’s Apollo Theater. Putting her name in the hat on a bet, she’d originally planned a dance number. History was made when she changed her mind and sang “The Object of My Affection.”

COUCH THEATER Dystopian Home Viewing Never Let Me Go (R) A romantic tragedy based on Kazuo Ishiguro’s 2005 novel, three friends from boarding school navigate love and the future knowing that they are clones, alive only to be harvested for their organs. Dystopian cause: medical tinkering. Minority Report (PG-13) In this futuristic society, intentions can be crimes, reported to the PreCrime division by sentient mutants who sense a crime before it happens. But is it still a crime if, once you know the future, you change it? Dystopian cause: overzealous mutant technology. The Hunger Games (PG-13) The winner of a 13-district war subjugates the rest of the districts by culling two young people from each yearly to fight to the death in a reality show that is too real. They get more than they bargained for when Katniss takes the place of her little sister. Dystopian cause: political machinations. WWW.THEGRANDSEASON.COM
LIFE HACKS
MAKE AN IMPRESSION Simple advice for issues in life
Stumped on a project or presentation? Try ditching the computer and writing by hand. The experience has been proven to help creativity. If you lose something, take a picture of your room, put it on Facebook or Instagram, have your friends play “I Spy.” Don’t let yourself be controlled by three things: people, money or past experiences. Storing batteries in the freezer can double their lifespan. Take advantage of power outages. It’s the best possible time to get a good look at the night sky. Try to spend more money on experiences and less on things. You’ll thank yourself later on in life. If you buy unnecessary things that are on sale, you’re not saving money; you’re are still spending it. You can “rewire” your brain to be happy by simply recalling three things you’re grateful for ever day for 21 days. Bake cookies in a muffin tin. They’ll stay soft and fluffy, and won’t spread out as they normally world. Put a sticker with a fake PIN number on your debit card. That way, if you lose it and someone tries to use it more than three times, the machine will eat the card. Stuffy nose? Leave a sliced onion near where you sleep and let it sit for the night. Your nose will be clear by the time you wake up. The scent of a banana contains a compound that may actually help you lose weight. As soon as you have a brain freeze, push your tongue against the roof of your mouth. It will relieve the pain instantly.
LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE! Your roof is one of the most important components of your home. If your roof is over 10 years old, if it has multiple layers or missing shingles or tiles, if there is physical damage, or if you have leaks it’s time to call Sun City Roofing!

CELEBRATE
SAVOR THANKSGIVING Take time out to appreciate this special day.
If you love Thanksgiving, but are overwhelmed by the thought of planning it, we’ve got you covered. With a little planning, this Thanksgiving can be the most festive yet.
1. Plan ahead for the day you want
It sounds simple, but your ideal holiday won’t materialize unless you make it happen. Share your desires openly with family, i.e. “I hope you will stay all day so we can have lots of time together”—to create the day you want.
2. Relax your expectations
Without dwelling on it, acknowledge something will likely go wrong with your day, but that’s okay. Remember, just roll with the punches!
3. Embrace the nap
While it’s a myth that the tryptophan in turkey makes you sleepy, the energy your body needs
to burn through a big meal can wipe you out. If everyone in your family wants to take a nap after eating, embrace it!
4. Take a walk
Walking after a big meal wakes you up and helps you digest. So gather your guests and head outside for a game of football, or a walk around the neighborhood.
5. Don’t rush to clean up
If you start cleaning up as soon as your meal is finished, you might send an unintended message that it’s time for guests to stop talking and start helping. Enjoy the conversation fully before you pick up all the plates.
6. Remember what the day is about
Thanksgiving is truly about coming together as a family to give thanks. Focus on your blessings and help those around you do the same.

How often is necessary?
Q: My indoor cats never go out or even try to escape. A friend said I’m supposed to take them to the vet every year and get their rabies shot, but I don’t see the point. If they never get out, how could they get exposed? Also, vaccinations are expensive!

Ask about our expert BICYCLE SERVICE AND SALES
A: I know it can be tough pulling together the funds to vaccinate your pets every year, but it really is critically important that they stay up to date on their shots. In addition to rabies vaccination—which is required by law in most municipalities—your cats need to be vaccinated against feline distemper—a group of three viruses that are easily spread (they can even be tracked into the house on your shoes) and can cause severe illness and death in cats. If your cats have never received an FLV (feline leukemia virus) vaccination, they need to be evaluated and given this shot, too. Getting up to date on their shots gives them an umbrella of protection because you never know what may happen in the future. WWW.THEGRANDSEASON.COM

YOU
FIND PEACE Reduce your stress this holiday season.
A certain amount of stress is just part of the human experience— especially this time of year. It’s natural. Yet too many people suffer with severe stress that disrupts sleep, work performance, health, relationships and life satisfaction all year long. Find your calm this holiday season with these natural fixes: Practice Yoga. Slow down and connect. There’s a form of yoga for every preference. Meditate. Clear thoughts from your mind with deep breathing. Let the apps Headspace or Breethe become your mindfulness coach. Exercise. It’s just science. Regular workouts combat stress and give you a dose of feel-good endorphins. Stretch. It feels good, it’s good for you and it slows you down. Take a bath. Bubbles and dim lighting can create a relaxing atmosphere. Wine optional. Pray. Hike for the exercise benefits and the calming landscape. Try your hand at art. Paint. Color in an adult coloring book. Shape clay. Hands-on expression is a healthy outlet for stress. Clean. Vigorous cleaning can give you a sense of accomplishment and order. Punch a punching bag. Release stress through physical exertion. Organize. Let’s face it. Stress is often caused by situations that feel out of our control. Organizing puts us back in the control seat and brings on the calm. Talk therapy. A professional can help you process and rethink your beliefs. Gain new insights that empower you to defeat stress. Sleep. Go for eight hours, even if you’ve tried to convince yourself you only need six. Hug. Give them freely. Accept them regularly. Practice gratitude. Ask yourself what’s good right now. Train your brain to notice everything that’s going right in your life. Journal. Get what’s churning in your head on paper. It’s just cathartic and often the process leads to solutions. Do one nice thing for someone. It’s human nature to help and it feels good for the receiver and the giver. Let it go. If you can’t control it or change it, consider letting it go.

SENIOR NEWS LINE
SOCIAL SECURITY INCREASE IN 2021
The news is out. Our Social Security benefit increase starting in January 2021 will be less than it was for 2020. Instead of the 1.6% increase we received this year, they’re cutting us back to 1.3% for Social Security benefits and Supplemental Security Income. For the average recipient, this comes to a whopping $20 per month. The average benefit will be $1,543 per month and $2,596 for a couple. The retirement earnings test exempt amount will change in 2021 as well. If you’re not yet at full retirement age, the annual exempt amount will be $18,960 per year. During the first year you reach full retirement age, the limit will be $50,520 per year (before the month you reach that age).
The way this is supposed to work is that when the annual inflation rate goes down, our cost of living adjustment also goes down. We allegedly don’t need as much money to get through the month. (Although the cost of our groceries has gone up, the price of gas has gone down because no one is going anywhere now.) The Senior Citizens League guesstimated correctly a few months ago that our increase would be 1.3% — the second lowest increase ever. Meanwhile our Medicare Part B premium continues to climb. The good news there is the “hold harmless” clause in the regulations. If the Medicare premium rises enough that it overtakes our Social Security increase, the dollar amount of the Part B premium will be reduced so we don’t end up with fewer Social Security dollars than we received this year. This applies to most but not all of us. Keep an eye on the Senior Citizens League (www. seniorsleague.org). They fight for us when it comes to drug costs, veterans benefits, Medicare, Social Security and more. They’re in Alexandria, Virginia, right across the river from Washington, D.C., and the halls of Congress.

VETERANS POST
The Department of Veterans Affairs has now made it easier to file a claim for Agent Orange exposure. Starting Jan. 1, 2020, The Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act of 2019 (PL 116-23) extends coverage to those who weren’t inland but were shipboard. The difficulty has been gathering all the records and logs required to prove your location.

Now the National Archives and Records Administration has digitized declassified Navy and Coast Guard deck logs (aka ship or captain’s logs) from 1956-1978 and put them online to make it easier for veterans to validate their claims. This includes the hospital ship USS Sanctuary. For more information, go online to www. benefits.va.gov/ benefits/blue-waternavy.asp and click on everything. Go to va.gov (type “blue water navy” in the search box). See digitized records at catalog.archives. gov.

VOLUNTEER
SHARE YOUR TALENTS
It’s the best way to change the world
“Giving Tuesday” is the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, and is a global movement and day that celebrates and encourages giving back. Giving Tuesday is a great reminder to write a check to your favorite nonprofit organization. But beyond money, when it comes to planning where and how you will spend your time and energy, let your strengths guide you to ways you can help the people and community around you. Writing a check or volunteering your time with your favorite nonprofit organization is a great idea. If you have extra time or resources to give, however, consider these creative ways to put your strengths to work when giving back this year.
1. Animal whisperer? Consider fostering some furry friends from your local animal shelter. 2. Avid reader? Pass on a book that could change someone’s life. The right book could help someone start a business, improve a relationship or provide a confidence boost. 3. Love fitness? Sign up for a charitable walk or run and give to a cause you care about. Better yet, ask someone to workout with you and be a fitness mentor. 4. Is your thumb green? Lead a community garden project or teach kids how to care for flowers and plants. 5. Talented teacher? Talk to a local school about volunteering to be a tutor. 6. Love events? Donate your time and talents to a fundraising event for a worthy organization. 7. Connected? How could you use your network to help someone else? The right introduction could lead to a job prospect, an increase in revenue or a new friendship. 8. Enjoy children? Volunteer to watch your friend’s kids for an evening. 9. Extra cash? Think about buying something for a stranger. Pick up the tab for the person behind you at the coffee shop or the tollbooth on the bridge. 10. Great cook? Volunteer your talents at a local soup kitchen. Stay true to yourself by giving in the realms that make you the happiest. When you give back with your own talents, it doesn’t feel like work—it feels like an expression of who you are.

TIPS FOR CHOOSING A PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR
Who knows you best? Your spouse? Son or daughter? Best friend? If your primary care doctor doesn’t make the list, you could be missing out on one of the most important relationships when it comes to your health and well-being. Here are 5 tips on how to choose the right primary care doctor for you. 1. Ask around. The first step to finding a great doctor: Talk to your family and friends about their great doctors. A recommendation from someone you trust is a great way to identify a highly skilled, helpful physician. 2. Map it out. Since you’ll be visiting your primary care doctor for everyday health needs, it’s important that he or she be located somewhere convenient to you. You won’t want to travel very far when you’re not feeling good. 3. Make sure you’ve got coverage. Once you’ve identified some possible candidates, check whether they work with your health plan. 4. Place a cold call. Call a potential doctor’s office for a first impression of the practice. 5. Keep your needs in mind. Every person has unique health needs, and those needs change as people age. Ask your doctor about his or her specialties or areas of interest.

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ A Message from Sue Royer “I was born and raised in inner city Chicago, the sixth of eighteen children with fifteen brothers. Being the oldest daughter, I was always a caregiver which I believe influenced me to pursue work in the healthcare industry. Today, I have three daughters and five grandchildren. Years ago, I volunteered for hospice and knew immediately that helping seniors was my calling. I was soon employed by hospice but I felt something was missing. I realized it was the limited time I was able to spend with my clients. Having my own business allows me to provide the intimate hands on service needed in our community. I am committed to our seniors throughout their lives and I thank the community for the opportunity to serve.” Sue Royer Director
