A TIME FOR THANKS,
MEANS A TIME FOR GIVING!
|
|
I have only a short message as we approach Thanksgiving later this month:
I feel so happy and blessed when I can help another human being. Helping others is a special feeling that no one can take away from us.
So that's my challenge to each of you, my friends, clients, and colleagues — let's remember those we know personally who have lost their jobs, or their homes, or who are sick, or who are in need, or who are just feeling alone.
What can we do to make them smile? To relieve their anxiety this month?
Now, let's go do it!
Let's make helping others be our celebration and appreciation of what we have. Let's place extra attention on the "give" in Thanksgiving!

HELPING OUR FAMILIES WEATHER
THE EFFECTS OF THE PANDEMIC
|
|
One of the hardest parts of the coronavirus pandemic is facing an unknown future. Parents everywhere are asking themselves, "How are my kids and teenagers being impacted by this?"
We don't really know yet. But it's important that we help our children stay busy. It's also important that we watch for signs that they aren't coping well. Early attention can be so critical when our children are feeling isolated, stressed, or angry about the circumstances right now.
Of equal importance is being honest with ourselves. How are we doing? We need to be aware of our own state of mind too. The stress of COVID is impacting everyone. It's important that we find ways to stay positive, relieve stress, and keep moving forward. If we are struggling, it's okay to talk with someone.
|
|
Another time when it's important to speak up is when we see any form of domestic violence. This may be in our own home, or in the home of someone we are close to. Speak up. Let a family member know. Domestic violence is inexcusable! You don't want to wish tomorrow that you had said something today.
And if you are struggling with your own anger, decide beforehand to walk away when subjects get heated. Go for a drive. Do some yard work.
Staying busy is critical to mental health. Our kids might need extra chores. It will do them good. They need responsibility. Teach them that they can control themselves and their environment by making good decisions and having the discipline to stick with those decisions.
Make sure everyone in your family has an outlet for the stress we are all feeling. Get outside. Spend time together as a family. Spend time apart. Participate in your favorite sports. Take time for yourself and encourage your kids to do the same. Turn off your screens. The weather is beautiful this time of year. Let's use that to our advantage against the COVID challenge.
|
|
If you or someone you know is in real trouble from violence at home, don't hesitate. You don't have to face this alone. Call 911, or the Domestic Violence Hotline:
For anonymous, confidential help, 24/7, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE) or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY)

UNITED AS AMERICANS:
A PERSPECTIVE ON THE ELECTION
|
|
The outcome of this month's election is less important than our identity as Americans. Let's not forget to treat each other with respect. Peace and prosperity are our united goals. The process to get there can be a rough road, but it is a road that we are on together. The only way we lose is to make others who do not agree with us into our enemies.
Each of us can decide to do our part to come together and heal the wounds of a divided country.
2020 has been a rough year, with the pandemic, job losses, forest fires, protests and counter-protests, and so much anger in our politics. Keep in mind that some of us have lost family members and friends who passed away this year. We don't know how others are hurting, but more often than not, you know that they are hurting.
Let's pursue peace. Let's respect one another and honor the freedom that we enjoy in the United States of America. Let's start now to find a path forward into 2021 where all of us are proud of our identity as Americans and the way that we treat each other. We cannot control the actions of others. But, if we each do our part, we can make a powerful, "united" impact.
Looking forward to a new year of peace and freedom!

Don't forget to get your flu shot!
Doctors are telling us that it's especially important to get your flu shot this year. You don't want to get the flu and COVID at the same time. And, like all vaccines, it's not just for us. Every year we can help protect the elderly and other vulnerable populations by getting our shot. So don't wait! The winter and peak flu season will be here soon.

Doc411's favorite mascot, Apollo, turned one-year-old last month!
I love animals. We have 5 dogs. They are all special to me, but one thing that I love about Apollo is that he protects us. He looks extremely intimidating, but he is the sweetest. He's just this big baby, quickly becoming a teenage dog, with his own fears, but he's always protecting us. I love watching him grow!
