Dear (Contact First Name),
 
Happy Easter Everyone!

Greetings:
Wasn't it just Christmas and New Year's Eve yesterday?  February just flew right by with Superbowl Sunday, and Mardi Gras rolled through like a flash of lightening, followed closely by Valentine's Day. Now St. Patrick's Day and Easter are about a week apart in March.  All these holidays and celebrations are certainly a great time to spend with friends and family but they also keep us very busy with parades, Easter egg hunts, cooking and coordinating family get togethers.  Maybe when March is over we can all catch our collective breath and settle in our Spring routines.
Some enjoy the activity of Spring cleaning.  The weather is perfect to clean out that attic or garage and host a yard sale.  Baseball season is beginning and many will be spending evenings at the park, cheering on their favorite team.  School kids are starting to get a little antsy as summer draws just a little bit closer.  Daylight saving time will spring our clocks forward this month and we will have longer days to enjoy the wonderful weather we have here on the Gulf Coast.  Do you have big plans for this Spring? 
Touching Hearts Senior Care is dedicated to providing exceptional in-home caregiving assistance to seniors and those in need, improving the quality of life of our clients, helping them maintain their independence, and offering peace of mind to families. Contact Gina Germany for a free in home professional assessment at 251-445-4204.
 
     Gearing up for beautiful Spring days!
   

If you have any questions about selecting a professional  in-home care company vs. a private duty/self-employed caregiver, please feel free to contact me.  [email protected]

TRACEY'S CORNER


 
Affirmation of the Month:
The cost of not following your heart is spending the rest of your life wishing you had.
Joke of the Month:
"Oh my goodness" sighed the wife one morning. "I'm convinced I'm losing my my mind." Her husband looked up from his newspaper and commented, "I'm not surprised, you've been giving me a piece of it every day for 30 years."
 
Gloomy Mood-Problem Solved
The blues are a part of life-for some people more than others. Hormones are involved, but they don't explain all the lowness. That means a wide variety of therapies can help you walk on sunshine rather than paint it black. Read on to review the following tips for a more glowing mood.
Music-The soul soothing is real. Music activates brain pleasure centers, makes us feel connected and shifts our focus.
Nature-Tell depression to take a hike, literally. Absorbing the sights, smells, and sounds of natural spaces relieves stress and boosts mood. It also provides a strong dose of sunlight.
Activity-Step away from your chair. 30 minutes of brisk walking can increase oxygen and blood flow to the brain and boost your mood.
Sleep-Easier said than done, right? The ingredients of good sleep will be familiar: regular sleep and wake times, at least 7 hours of shuteye, and no electronic screens in the last hour before bedtime.
Rethinking-Therapy gives you tools. Cognitive behavior therapy teaches patients how thoughts and actions bring them down and how to interpret these situations more positively.
