There isn’t anything more wonderful than family get-togethers. Over the holidays many of us will get the opportunity to spend time with our grandchildren, even if we don’t live close to the grandkids.
What a fun time to stop and just play and enjoy all the little ones. Even just watching the grandkids, as cousins, come together to play and run and just enjoy each other’s company is worth every minute. Whenever possible my kids manage to organize times during the year, especially during the holidays, to get everyone together. No one enjoys this more than the kids.
We hope you have time to take a break and spend time with family this holiday season, whether it’s Thanksgiving, Christmas or Hanukkah.

THE ART OF LIVING IN COMFORT
When we think of art, we think of pictures, or images of life. We can use this as a metaphor for creating a style of how we want to live as we age. For me style is not about a type of furniture, it’s design, or a colour in the material. It is simply a way of life that has practical purpose, through comfort and safety. This type of art describes the fundamental source of how we perceive comfort and how it is woven into our daily activity, through the products we choose to use that meet our needs for comfort and safety.

A New Approach to Active Living
“Active Living” is about how we choose to ‘live’ our lives every day. It includes all the movements that we create to accomplish tasks that we do for ourselves & others in our family, our work, our sports & recreation, plus are all other aspects of our daily lives. It embraces everything that we “perform” to make “living” the content of our daily life. We live in a constantly changing world, where movement and adaptation are all part of the daily living process. We are constantly challenged by the way we move around and how receptive we are to our environment.

Protect Your Joints - Preserve Your Energy - Promote Your Safety
What do these three words mean for our human body? When we PROTECT our body, it means that we are protecting it against injury; like protecting our head with a helmet when we cycle. We protect our back from injury, by bending our knees instead of our backs when lifting a heavy box. We protect our ankles by wearing hiking boots, when we go hiking; so that we do not stumble over uneven surfaces and strain our ankles. We wear waterproof clothing when it rains, so that we are protected from getting wet; the wetness can cause a chill, with a potential chill that can threaten our health.

Holding Daily Life in Comfort
HOLDING DAILY LIFE IN COMFORT using a “RELAXED HOLD” Gail McGonigal B.Sc.O.T., M.Sc.Health Is living life comfortable for you? Or does performing routine daily tasks result in pain or discomfort in your hands? It happened to me several years ago, when I began feeling pain in the base of my thumb joints when performing normal everyday tasks. I have always been a very fit and active person, riding my bicycle everywhere and just getting on with my daily life.
