April 23 is National Take a Chance Day, a day dedicated to going out on a limb and doing things that scare or frighten you, in order to enjoy great rewards or experiences. When you step outside of your comfort zone and seize opportunities to conquer something great, you never know howmuch good you’ll encounter along the way. As a senior in high school, you plan on partying and celebrating on the day you graduate — I sure did. However, different plans were in store for me on the day I graduated: I was sick in the hospital with mono. Doctors released me with orders to pick up my diploma and return back home to sleep. Within the next few days, I took a huge chance (likely the greatest chance of my life) and joined the Marine Corps. I was in the Marines for a total of nine years, and the saying will forever prove to be true: once a Marine, always a Marine. At 18 years old, the service surely taught me how to grow up quickly, as I learned many valuable lessons. I’d do it all over again if I had to. One of the best things that came out of my experience in the Marines, as I have mentioned before, is getting to know my best friend who now resides in New Jersey. When we met, I was 18 and he was 20 years old. He became like an older brother to me, and we traveled all over Europe together. I wound up serving in the Cuban Missile Crisis, and he went to Vietnam a total of three times. Now, his children are all the same age as mine. Had I not taken the chance and gathered up the courage to join the Marines, I’d have never met my best friend and probably would not be where I am today. Later on in life, another great chance I took was opening up my own business. It’s not a secret that most businesses fail within five years, but here I am, proud to say I succeeded. Hard work, dedication, and perseverance surely paid off. This month, I wish everyone who celebrates the holiday a happy Easter. In our home, Easter is always a fabulous time to gather together with the family. Between me and my wife, we have five children, the oldest being 65 and the youngest 52. While it’s rare to get everyone together at the same time, we can always count on hosting Easter at our home or taking everyone who can join us out for a nice lunch. So, enjoy time with your family and if a chance ever presents itself, don’t be afraid to take a leap of faith and go for it. You never know what awesome awards await!

Go for It! YOU’LL NEVER REGRET TAKING A CHANCE

Meet Tinsley, a Car Crash Survivor She Saved Her Human!

On Jan. 3, 2022, New Hampshire State Police responded to a call about a lone dog wandering around on the interstate near Veterans Memorial Bridge. When they got there, the pup — a Shiloh shepherd named Tinsley — led the officers on what seemed to be a wild goose chase. “When Trooper Sandberg and the Lebanon police officers attempted to get close to the canine, it continued to run northbound on Interstate 89, crossing into Vermont,” the police department wrote in a Facebook post. “A short time later, Trooper Sandberg and the Lebanon police officers located a damaged section of guardrail near the Interstate 91 and Interstate 89 junction.” It turns out Tinsley had a destination in mind: an upside-down pickup truck that had crashed through that very guardrail.

The truck had rolled off the highway, and the people who were inside — including Tinsley’s owner, Cam Laundry — were on the ground, badly hurt and hypothermic! Thanks to Tinsley’s bravery, the cops called an ambulance that rushed them to the hospital. “This was almost like a real-life Lassie situation,” one lieutenant told CNN. “It’s really quite remarkable. This dog definitely saved their lives. I don’t think they would have survived the night given the temperatures.” Tinsley is a real hero on four legs, just like Lassie, a fictional pup who saved two little boys from dying of hypothermia in the snow. Fortunately, Tinsley’s grateful owner, Cam, made a full recovery. He also knows just how special his pup is.

“She gets spoiled all the time,” he told the WPTZ news station. “She’ll get some venison, probably [a] burger tonight, and probably some back scratches with it.” Tinsley is not the only dog who has saved a human from the cold. In the winter of 2017, a rescue pooch named Peanut saved the life of a 3-year- old girl in Michigan who had wandered away from home, and a golden retriever named Kelsey saved her owner after he slipped in the snow and broke his neck. She kept him warm for 19 hours and barked until help came. To read the full story of Tinsley’s roadside rescue, visit CNN.com and search “real-life Lassie.”

GETTING UP AFTER A FALL Steps to Take When You Fall and Can’t Get Help

Try to lift yourself up. If you cannot get yourself up, skip to the next step. But if you feel strong enough to do so, roll onto your side, and slowly get onto your hands and knees. Then, place one or both of your hands on a sturdy item, and position your leg into a 90-degree angle, with your foot flat on the ground. Once there, pull yourself up. Take breaks and go slowly. And be sure to rest once you stand up. Call for help. You must seek medical attention after a fall, even if you are able to get back up, to prevent further damage or worsening injuries. If you are able to get up, call a friend or family member so they can drive you to the hospital. If you cannot, try to reach for your phone or press the button on your medical alert device. If none of these options are available, don’t give up. Try sliding toward one of these devices, or yell for help, bang on the floors or walls. Remember to protect yourself; for instance, use a pillow or clothing item for support and warmth.

“Help! I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up!”

The phrase was part of a major advertising campaign by a medical alert company aimed at helping seniors after a fall. The advertisement pushed a device that would call 911 with the press of a button. And there’s a good reason for this advocacy! The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that between 2012–2018, older adults reported approximately 36 million falls annually, and 32,000 of these incidents resulted in death. But what happens when alert technology is out of reach? Keep this article on hand, and follow this process if you fall and actually cannot get up. Stay calm and check for injuries. It’s easy to panic, but doing so could exacerbate your injuries. After a fall, take a few deep breaths, and starting at your feet, try to wiggle your extremities. If you can move these, move into a position that’s comfortable. If you cannot or if you are in pain, continue breathing deeply, stay calm, and do not attempt to get up.

If you have additional questions, please consult with a trusted medical professional.

Have you ever noticed that springtime just feels lighter and brighter? That’s because, believe it or not, the seasons affect us. When spring rolls around, the energy shifts, and it’s up to us to maximize those positive vibes. Let’s examine how we can make the most of spring and inject some color and vibrancy into our lives again after a long winter. Rely on color. Colors have the ability to elicit certain emotions and feelings. Tropical tones and pastels are everywhere in spring — the clear sky, grass, and flowers — so allow them to fill your space and take them with you as constant reminders to smile. If you’re up for it, wear some new colors to brighten up your wardrobe, and don’t forget to take in a sunset when you’re able! Enjoy more hours of daylight. Spring brings more hours of sunlight and warming temperatures that can give you more time to enjoy your morning cup of coffee outside. You can take an early stroll around the block, get in a workout outdoors, or just enjoy the fresh air. Also, many areas observe daylight saving time, which extends sunlight into the evening, so no matter how you choose to spend your extra daylight, make it an adventure. Welcome spring-cleaning. It isn’t called spring-cleaning for nothing! Decluttering, dusting, reorganizing, and tidying up feels great! It’s empowering and refreshing. There is something special about creating more space in your living space that gets the positivity flowing. Eat fresh, colorful foods. During spring, many delicious fruits and vegetables come into season. Berries, oranges, apples, carrots, avocados, cherries, spinach, and kale are all at their peak. Your local farmers market is a great place to get the freshest produce to fuel your body! 4 Ways to Harvest Positive Vibes in Spring GET SPRUNG
