   The Holiday’s are approaching . They often bring about stress and depression. Holiday’s
  present a dizzying array of demands-cooling, cleaning, shopping, baking and entertaining,
 and if the virus adds additional stress it can effect our health. THIS HOLIDAY WE ARE NOT
   GOING TO LET THAT HAPPEN!!! WE are going to help each other through this. HOW???
  #1. We are going to acknowledge our feelings-its okay to take time to cry or express what
                                           we are feeling.
  #2. We are going to reach out to the community , religious, or other social events (like the
 senior center) to have some support and companionship. Maybe volunteer to help someone
                                       and to lift our spirits.
  #3. We will be realistic, our holiday’s don’t have to be perfect. We may hold on to a few old
                     traditions but it might be interesting to start new ones.
      #4. We will set aside our differences and accept our family and friends as they are.
 #5. we are going to prevent last minute scrambaling and take a breather for OURSELVES!!!!

                               WE ARE READY TO START HERE!!!!!

            Okay be ready for this!!! A dear friend of mine, Jane Parase

         Veteran’ s Day
On Veterans Day we honor all,
 Who answered to a service call.
Soldiers young, and soldiers old, Fought for freedom,
brave and bold.
Some have lived, while others died, And all of them de-
serve our pride.
We’re proud of all the soldiers who, kept thinking red,
white and blue. They fought for us and all our rights.
They fought through many days and nights.
And though we may not know each name,
 We thank ALL VETERANS just the same.
                      THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
