Hop Into Spring!March 2016 is certainly a month of transition. We start out with the tail end of

winter, and before we know it it’s Eastertime! Earlier in the month one of our favorite entertainers, Tommy Johnson, will be back. Start thinking of some requests right now. He can, and does, play everything! Join us for lunch on the 16th at another of our favorites Longhorn Steakhouse, just up the road. As always, we will hold a Good Friday

Service, led by Rev. Carol Juliano, at 1:30 on the 25th, and church on Easter Sunday will be held at 10:00am in the Great Room. A beautiful Easter luncheon will follow the service. Family members, if you’re planning on joining us for lunch, please contact our Concierge.

One of our best attended and most enjoyable outings of the year is our annual trip to Tampa Bay Downs. This year we are going on March 30. We leave at noon with a picnic lunch and eat while the horses are getting ready for the 1st race. There is no charge, so sign up now. Seats fill up fast.

You’ll see more new programs popping up on the Daily Highlights Sheet as our new Life Enrichment Director, Madeleine Chicoine, takes the reigns and keeps us hopping. After all, it’s Easter!

Surviving Spring AllergiesSneezing; itchy ears, nose and throat; runny or stuffy nose; coughing; watery and

itchy eyes - these symptoms blossom each spring for some 35 million Americans.“Symptoms can be minimized by staying inside air-conditioned environments,”

says Pharmacist Gretta Bogaard. “If people have an outdoor activity they love, check the weather/pollen reports to determine which day of the week has lower ragweed/pollen counts. Pre-medication with oral or ophthalmic antihistamines might also help to reduce symptoms when going outside.”

Other tips for managing spring allergies include:• Keep home and car windows closed to prevent pollens or mold spores from

drifting in.

• Maintain a clean environment at your home and, if you’re able, your office.

• Minimize early morning outside activity between 5 and 10 a.m., when the greatest amount of pollen is usually released.

• Try to stay inside when the pollen count or humidity is reported to be high, and on windy days when dust and pollen are likely to be more of a problem.

Mardi GrasMardi Gras’ roots lie in the Christian calendar, as a last day

of indulgence before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. What is less known about Mardi Gras is its relation to the Christmas season and Carnival.

Carnival comes from the Latin words carne vale, meaning “farewell to the flesh.” Like many Catholic holidays and seasonal celebrations, it likely has its roots in pre-Christian traditions based on the seasons. As early as the middle of the second century, the Romans observed a Fast of 40 Days, which was preceded by a brief season of feasting, costumes and parties.

The Carnival season kicks off with the Epiphany, also known as Twelfth Night, which falls on January 6, twelve days after Christmas. Epiphany celebrates the visit of the Wise Men bearing gifts for the infant Jesus. In cultures that celebrate Carnival, Epiphany kicks off a series of parties leading up to Mardi Gras.

Mardi Gras came to the New World in 1699, when a French explorer arrived at the Mississippi River, about 60 miles south of present day New Orleans. Mardi Gras literally means “Fat Tuesday” in French. The name comes from the tradition of slaughtering and feasting upon a fattened calf on the last day of Carnival.

Mindfulness MattersMindfulness MattersCan Living In The Moment Improve Your Health?

At some point in your life, someone probably told you: “Enjoy every moment. Life is short.” Maybe you’ve smiled and rolled your eyes at this well-intentioned relative or friend. But the fact is, there’s something to it. Trying to enjoy each moment may actually be good for your health.

The idea is called mindfulness. This ancient practice is about being com-pletely aware of what’s happening in the present—of all that’s going on inside and all that’s happening around you. It means not living your life on “autopilot.” Instead, you experience life as it unfolds moment to moment, good and bad, and without judgment or preconceived notions.

“Many of us go through our lives without really being present in the moment,” says Dr. Margaret Chesney of the University of California, San Francisco. She’s studying how mindfulness affects health. “What is valuable about mindfulness is that it is accessible and can be helpful to so many people.”

Studies suggest that mindfulness practices may help people manage stress, cope better with serious illness and reduce anxiety and depression. Many people who practice mindfulness report an increased ability to relax, a greater enthusiasm for life and improved self-esteem.

A major benefit of mindfulness is that it encourages you to pay attention to your thoughts, your actions and your body. Finding time in our culture, however, can be a challenge. We tend to place great value on how much we can do at once and how fast.

You can practice mindfulness through the day even when answering e-mails, sitting in traffic or waiting in line. All you have to do is become more aware – of your breath, of your feet on the ground, of your fingers typing, of the people and voices around you. If your mind races and focuses on the past or future, that’s normal – just notice those thoughts and then return to the present moment. Its these little, regular steps that add up and start to create a more mindful, healthy life.

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

- Victor Frankl

Mindfulness Tips to Get You Started:

Most U.S. residents set their clocks one hour forward in spring and one hour back in fall. However, residents of

ArizonaandHawaii—alongwiththeU.S.territoriesofPuertoRico and the Virgin Islands, among others—will do nothing. Those locales never deviated from standard time within their particular time zones. Though no federal rule requires that states or territories observe daylight saving time, it does require all states to switch back to standard time at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in November. Likewise, the rule requires that regions that observe daylight saving time, or DST, begin the period at the same time on the first Sunday in March. This means that daylight saving time lasts longer than “standard” time!

According to Bill Mosley, a public affairs officer at the U.S. Department of Transportation, the reason behind the change is “to adjust daylight hours to when most people are awake and

about.” Daylight saving time reduces the amount of daylight in the morning, so that more daylight is present in the evening. But not everyone benefits from the change, Mosley notes. Farmers and others who awaken before dawn need to operate in the dark longer before daybreak. Daylight saving time can bring a lot of advantages. Mosley said research shows that more available daylight improves energy savings while reducing the number of traffic accidents, traffic fatalities, and occurrences of crime. Congress listed other benefits while updating legislation in 1986, including “more daylight outdoor playtime for the children and youth of our Nation, greater utilization of parks and recreation areas, expanded economic opportunity through extension of daylight hours to peak shopping hours and through extension of domestic office hours to periods of greater overlap with the European Economic Community.”

As you try to figure out ways to get rid of all those Easter eggs, check out these interesting facts about the zygote:

• A hen requires 24 to 26 hours toproduce an egg. Thirty minutes later, she starts all over again.

• Theegg shellmayhaveasmanyas17,000 tiny pores over its surface. Through them, the egg can absorb flavors and odors. Storing them in their cartons helps keep them fresh.

• Totellifaneggisraworhard-cooked,spin it. If the egg spins easily, it is

hard-cooked but if it wobbles, it’s raw.

• White-shelled eggs are produced by hens with white feathers and ear lobes. Brown-shelled eggs are produced by hens with red feathers and red ear lobes.

• Duringthespringequinox, it issaidthat an egg will stand on its small end. Although some people have reported success, it is not known whether such results were due to the equinox or to the peculiarities of that particular egg.

• Eggyolksareoneofthefewfoodsthat

naturally contain Vitamin D.

• Yolk color depends on the diet of the hen. Natural yellow-orange substances such as marigold petals may be added to light-colored feeds to enhance colors. Artificial color additives are not permitted.

• Occasionally, a henwill producedouble-yolked eggs throughout her egg-laying career. It is rare, but not unusual, for a young hen to produce an egg with no yolk at all.
