“When you have come to the edge..and are about to drop off into the darkness of the unknown, Faith is knowing…there will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught how to fly.” Patrick Overton
When life’s circumstances have got you down it is time to reach out and time to reach up. While it is impossible to figure out the real reason why things are happening and specifically why things are happening to you and the world around you, the one constant that you can rely on is faith. When times are good – we often don’t pose the “why me” question; but when times are not so good, we do.
Faith focuses our attention. Faith changes our perspective. Faith soothes our feelings of powerlessness. Faith provides a safety net to stop the free fall. In times of need, you are not alone; faith can build a bridge to see you through. Faith can help you to overcome difficult obstacles. Faith takes practice, so there is no better time to get started than right now.
Three- Step Call to Action:
1. Reach out for help and reconnect with your faith.
2. Stay with it and be patient. Profound faith will soften your stance.
3. Rejoice for your blessings and assess your troubles in an altered perspective.

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 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.
