LOVE

RIPPLE EFFECT Create a river of change

Kindness is one of the most overlooked characteristics of a happy marriage. Happy marriages are inundated with kindness. They are a continual give and take of actions of kindness, never with the expectation of reciprocation, but always with the belief that being kind is a key component of love. Here are several acts of kindness which any couple can add to their regular routine.

1. Take one small thing off their plate daily.

It may not happen every single day, but on most days find a way to do one small thing for your spouse. Of course, the prerequisite for this step is to find out what is on your spouse’s plate.

2. Restrain harsh words.

Kindness is expressed through actions. By restraining your words, you are showing your spouse that you value and respect them. Few things can injure a relationship like inappropriate words.

3. Listen and Look. One of the kindest acts you

can do for another human being is to see them and give them your ear. Listening and looking requires that you use your energy for the benefit of another person. It demands that you humble yourselves, push aside your personal agenda, and focus on another. That is a kind act. Kindness is like a muscle. By choosing specific actions and repeating them, we become more kind. FOR ADVERTISING INFORMATION CALL (623) 594-1630

1. Who was the trainer of Triple Crown-winning racehorses Gallant Fox (1930) and Omaha (1935)? 2. It’s tradition for Notre Dame Fighting Irish football players to touch a sign posted in Notre Dame Stadium before taking the field. What does the sign read? 3. What former NFL defensive lineman played the role of Sloth in the 1985 adventure comedy film “The Goonies”? 4. What American female distance runner won the Boston Marathon in 1979 and ‘83, and won the gold medal in the marathon at the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics? 5. What cross-country skiing distance race, first held in 1973, is traditionally run every February in northern Wisconsin? “Advocates for YOUR Home Improvement”

PAW’S CORNER

Which one is a greater threat to the other?

Q: For some reason this winter, my new house has been invaded by spiders. They are building webs in every corner of the house, and every day I’m knocking down another web with my broom. I’m worried about my cat being bitten by a spider. What do I do if this happens? A: I’m a huge fan of spiders, because they are one of nature’s best pest control services, trapping and disposing of many other tiny critters. They probably have much more to fear from your cat than the other way around, because housecats see spiders as interesting prey. Still, a spider invasion is not much fun to deal with. Look for something that is attracting spiders to your home. Do you have wood or leaves piled up against the foundation? Are there cracks in the foundation? How clean are your HVAC vents and ductwork? Addressing the source of the problem can cut down quite a bit on the number of spiders invading your house.

While everyone loves Nicole, when she took on Elizabeth Montgomery’s “Bewitched” role in the 2005 film reboot (which also starred Will Farrell, Shirley MacLaine, Michael Caine and Kristin Chenoweth), it flopped, costing $85 million while grossing just $131 million. Written and directed by the late Nora Efron, critics said “Bewitched” was “haunted by scattered laughs and a lack of direction.” Of note: Lucy was 43 and Desi 40 when they did “I Love Lucy” in 1951, and Nicole is 53 and Javier 51. Maybe for insurance, two of the executive producers Sorkin hired are Lucy’s children, Lucie and Desi Arnaz.

KINDNESS COUNTS

Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end. —Scott Adams

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for Kindness is the language you never know how which the deaf can hear and soon it will be too late. Just imagine how different the world the blind can see. —Mark Twain —Ralph Waldo Emerson could be if we all spoke to everyone with respect and kindness. —Holly Branson Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love. —Lao Tzu Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not. —Samuel Johnson

A little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money. —John Ruskin

No act of kindness, Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make no matter how small, a difference. They bless the one who receives them, is ever wasted. and they bless you, the giver. —Barbara De Angelis —Aesop

Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness. —Lucius Annaeus Seneca Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.

—Theodore Isaac Rubin

We can all fight against loneliness by engaging in random acts of kindness. —Gail Honeyman

Goodness is about character - integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people. —Dennis Prager What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness? —Jean-Jacques Rousseau Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you. —Princess Diana

We have this incredible power called “kindness.” just a little bit of it can change someone’s life. a word of encouragement, an authentic smile, a few bucks during a rough patch, or a willingness to listen when someone desperately needs to speak. it truly doesn’t take much. just a desire to understand that we are all just people doing the best we can, and sometimes we all need a bit of help. —topher kearby

TIP 1 You can use a little bit of cooking oil to remove the last bits of sticker adhesive from a glass picture frame. Remove as much of the paper sticker as possible, then dab the spot with oil on a paper towel. Rub off. When all the adhesive is removed, use glass cleaner. TIP 2 Got stale bread? If it’s not too far gone, you can try reviving it in the oven. Set the bread on low heat in the oven with a pan of water next to it. If the bread is too stale, you can always cut it up into cubes and use as croutons or toast and grind into breadcrumbs. TIP 3 Got a stinky sink? Check your garbage disposal. Pull out the removable rubber drain insert to get a better look. Sometimes, all that’s needed is to clean the insert as it can collect a nasty food slime on the disposal-facing side. You can also run the disposal for a few minutes with ice cubes, citrus peels or baking soda and vinegar. TIP 4 Club soda is good for more than just drinks. You can also use it to remove spot stains on carpets or upholstery. WWW.THEGRANDSEASON.COM

MOMENTS IN TIME

WHAT HAPPENED IN HISTORY

March 16, 1751 James Madison, fourth president of the United States, is born in Virginia. Madison is best remembered for his vital role in overseeing the drafting of the final Constitution.

Big events that occurred during the month of March

March 14, 1919 Max Brand, perhaps, the most prolific writer of Western stories, publishes his first novel, “The Untamed.” Max Brand was one of 21 pen names used by author Frederick Faust. Unlike many Western authors, Faust made no pretense to historical accuracy in his works. March 15, 44 BC Julius Caesar, dictator of Rome, is stabbed to death in the Roman Senate house by 60 conspirators led by Brutus and Cassius,

who believed that his death would lead to the restoration of the Roman Republic.

WE DO WEEDS!

March 17, 1776 British forces are forced to evacuate Boston following Gen. George Washington’s successful placement of fortifications and cannons on Dorchester Heights.

YOU

SILENCE THE CRITIC

Kindness is imperative to make any relationship work. But have you ever considered how kind you’re being to yourself? Daily, the voice in our head replays our mistakes, reminds us of our failures, and tell us we just don’t measure up. It’s time to silence your inner critic and be kind to yourself. The reality of life is, if you don’t care for yourself, you’re going to burnout and find it hard to love those around you.

The list of possible acts of self-kindness is endless, but to get you started, check out the list below. 1. Go to bed an hour early. 2. Eat healthy. 3. Buy yourself flowers. 4. Write yourself a love note. 5. Forgive yourself for something you beat yourself up about. 6. Get a massage. 7. Get a manicure and/or pedicure. 8. Read a book. 9. Turn off the tv and do something else. 10. Pursue a hobby you’ve let go. 11. Grab coffee with a friend.

Be kind to yourself.

12. Get your annual physical and any tests including a mammogram, etc. 13. Create a gratitude journal. 14. Create a budget and stick to it. 15. Be fully present. 16. Hire a cleaning lady. 17. Take a nap. 18. Take a social media hiatus. 19. Turn off ALL electronics for 24 hours. 20. Enjoy dinner on the good dishes. 21. Wear something that makes you feel like a million bucks. 22. Listen to music that speaks to your soul.

23. Play an instrument. 24. Watch the sunset or sunrise. 25. Build a pillow fort. 26. Snuggle with your pets. 27. Start a happiness box where you save special notes or cards that you receive that lift you up. 28. Start laughing and build up to a full guttural bellyaching laugh. 29. Fix something small that annoys you. 30. Take 10 deep breaths. 31. Write in your journal. 32. Go to church. 33. Listen to an inspirational podcast. 34. Stop comparing yourself to others.

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
