2019 First Quarter Newsletter
Gloria Holt, Editor
A MESSAGE FROM
DONALD L. MOONEY, CEO & FOUNDER
Happy Spring! This is a beautiful time of the year! I love seeing the leaves in trees change, the flowers blossoming, birds building their nests and feeding their young. Spring is that time of the year for new growth, rebirth and hope for the future. I hope that so far in 2019 you are experiencing a spring in your step, as well as happiness and good health.

Our team is off to a great start, everyone is putting a spring in their step despite the 35-day government shut down. I am excited about our team. It’s sprinkled with youth and vigor and seasoned with maturity. The diversity of talent is amazing and again, exciting. The care factor of individual team members is off the charts! As is typical for this time of the year, our team is springing into action and positioning DME to do great things this year. I can see the growth in team leaders and team members throughout DME and how that growth and transformation is making a difference in our day to day business! We must continue to learn and master the tools of our trade, especially technology. Technology will help us to service our customers faster and better. That is why we exist!

Finally, this will be a one of-a-kind spring season, one of unlimited opportunity for those who move forward with a spring in their step!


A Message From Our President
Greetings from San Antonio, Texas! 

We are honored to have you as part of our Donald L. Mooney Enterprises (DME) TEAM. I hope this newsletter finds you and your family in good health. Spring is here and we are off to a good start – but much more to do in the coming months. What does “spring” symbolize? Themes of rebirth and renewal are often used to describe spring. Spring also refers to love, hope, youth, and growth. Whatever spring means to you – cherish your time and always remember we are all part of a TEAM – what we do or don’t do affects others. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Our DME TEAM is accomplishing great things by caring for others and putting the TEAM first. Many blessings to you and your families.

Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and “Making a Difference in People’s Lives Every Day.”

WHO REMEMBERS THE RUBIK CUBE?




Challenge Question:

Have you ever solved the Rubik Cube?

If yes, how long did it take you to learn how to solve it?
How Long Did It Take The Inventor Of The Rubik Cube To Solve It The First Time?
The Rubik Cube was designed by Erno Rubik who studied sculpting and interior architecture. He had the idea to build a cube of interchangeable pieces. Initially he wanted to build a 2x2 cube but his final design was a 3x3 cube. He tested various designs, including a failed design with elastic bands to hold the pieces together. His final prototype pieces stay together because they fit with each other which solved the issue of structural design. It took him one month to finally solve the puzzle that he created. The popularity of the cube as a toy surprised him. He received a patent in 1977. He continued to design games and created the International Rubik Foundation to help talented young engineers and industrial designers.
Trivia Corner:

Who invented the high-five?

  1. Jonathan Smith
  2. Glenn Burke
  3. Magic Johnson

If you guessed, Glenn Burke, you are right. If you guessed, Magic Johnson, you may also be right. Glenn Burke is credited with spontaneously high-fiving a fellow outfielder, Dusty Baker after a home run in 1977. Magic Johnson has also suggested that he invented it at Michigan State in the late 70's.

Twelve Habits That May Be Ruining Your Sleep Quality
Per Reader's Digest

Finish your work early in the evening so that your mind can "turn off" before bedtime.

Don't try to catch up on sleep over the weekend! You can make up for some loss of sleep but you could mess up your sleep cycle.

Consider not checking your social media accounts before bed. The light that your device emits could disrupt the signal to your brain that it is time to sleep.

Reading a book or watching TV could also keep your body from realizing that it is time to sleep.

Brushing your teeth could give you a second wind from the activity alone and the minty toothpaste could also energize you.


Don't turn the heat up before bed. Experts recommend that you have your bedroom around 65 degrees to signal your body that it is time to sleep.

Resist the temptation to wear cozy warm pajamas to bed. It is better to stay warm with bedding so you can take it off if you get too warm in the middle of the night.

Address any pain without the use of medication, it can affect the quality of your sleep.

Time your workout right. It is best to workout in the mornings or afternoons because the endorphins may keep you awake if you workout to late in the day.

Drinking caffienated drinks late in the day could keep you awake. Cut the caffien at lunchtime to be safe.

Pass on the glass of wine just before bed, it can affect the quality of your sleep.

Late-night eating could lead to weight gain. If you are hungry, try eating cereal or a handful of nuts to stave off the hunger pangs.
