  “When my husband watches sports on television, his personality changes. He seems to be out of reach at these times, and I often wonder who is that guy sitting on my couch, he looks familiar but… My husband is normally very responsive and talkative, but when I speak to him during a game, I’m lucky to get a response consisting of a few syllables- that usually make no sense, by the way- and that’s when his favorite teams aren’t even playing.” Read the rest of this journal by clicking on the title above.

  Give a Valentine from the Heart to the Elderly

  It is a fact that 65% of older adults who are alone become depressed on a regular basis. 87% of all older people who live alone experience loneliness everyday and on Valentines Day there is not a doubt that it raises to 98%. There are seniors without families nearby and many seniors without any family at all. Even if family members are close by and diligent about helping a parent, bringing dinner over, mowing the lawn or house cleaning every week, that parent probably spends 90 percent of each day alone and maybe lonely. Before this Valentines Day, take a look around your neighborhood and see if you can find the elderly.

  Teenage drivers can pose big threats to highway safety. Whereas it is impossible to be with our teenagers every time they get behind the wheel, there are a number of sensible ways to try and keep them safer. The first is to set a good example with your own driving skills from the very beginning. Little ones are extremely aware of the things their parents do and will eventually copy what they see, If you are reckless behind the wheel, chances are that they will grow up thinking that is the way everyone drives. Begin by showing your children good driving habits early. Always use your seatbelts, signal when making turns, check mirrors regularly and be sure to give yourself plenty of room between you and other vehicles. You can also explain the importance of why you do these things when operating a vehicle. They may not always act like they are listening, but it will sink in.
