of preparation. Since most stress is confrontational in nature when listening to another person don’t just listen with your mind, listen with your whole body. Most people do not know how to listen because the major part of their attention is taken up by thinking. Do not become more concerned about what you are going to say next; stay present. Always think from a mindset of Win Win when dealing with others. Be direct and candid, see things from the other person’s point of view and develop relationships. If everyone wins you win too. Think about it. Everything you have even done or ever accomplished happens in the NOW. You cannot create something in the past since the past is irretrievably gone and the future does not yet exist. If you say you are going to do something in the future you are not making any real progress. What you did in the past got you to where you are today. Change can only happen

It is important to maintain a positive mental attitude even when faced with adversity. Hopefully, now with Summer upon us and the passage of 14 months since the pandemic began; life will slowly return to normal. Many of us have or have known of someone who was traumatically affected by the virus but we all must continue to persevere and help others when needed. You must strive to keep a positive mental attitude during these difficult times. Your mind if you let it will try to play tricks on you leading to stress and worry. Realize the only time you can take action is in the present moment. The past is irretrievably gone and the future is only an illusion or construct. Change happens in the NOW and the NOW is all you have to make changes and improve your situation. Stress is caused from your interactions with others both professionally and/or personally and financial unpreparedness. You will always sink to your level

is caused by projecting yourself into the future and imagining things going wrong thereby creating fear. Fear is false evidence that appears real. Meaning too much future and not enough presence. To complain is non acceptance of what is. You can either leave the situation, change it or accept it. You have no other choices. You must remain inside your bubble meaning you only concentrate on what you have direct control over. Do not be influenced by things you have no control. Our government will throw road blocks in your path which you have no input on so do not give them any significant attention. Instead alter your actions and behavior to overcome whatever is thrown at you. Your concern is first your health, second your family and finally your business or source of income. All of us were given the same basic mass of parts. It is up to each of us to accomplish what we can realizing we all have much more potential than we ever access. With determination, perseverance and continual action in the present anything is possible. You never give up.

right now and you have to condition your mind to take action right now in the present. Stress is negativity and realize that all negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time of past events and denial of the present. Negativity is inner resistance preventing you from getting what

you want. Stress is caused by being here but wanting to be there. Worry

READING IS STILL FUNDAMENTAL How Many Books Have You Read This Year?

Hopefully, earlier in life you have read most of the classics. Books with tales from around the world.

When visiting people’s home one thing I always look for is there any books present.

Yes, today with Kindle it’s possible the person’s reading is all done online but still?

Books from past centuries allowing you direct access to prior times. The author talking directly to you brings you into their world. You are living in a time no longer present but alive only through the book.

If you want your brain to remain active you have to read. It does take an effort to read.

I try to read books on history, self-improvement and current fiction on varying topics. If you have friends who read they can recommend titles you personally might not consider, thereby expanding your horizons.

Reading is a challenge since we all have busy lives and limited spare time and reading takes time.

But an active brain is a healthy brain and reading activates your brain. Just like physical exercise you need to exercise your brain on a regular basis. It has been found that solving cross word puzzles and the like is good for your brain and since you need to have a good vocabulary to solve these puzzles, you only augment your vocabulary by reading.

At times I will fall off the reading wagon but eventually, I will resaddle up and make up for lost time.

In fiction the author will tell the story but your own imagination will fill in the parts. It is interesting at times when you see a movie on a book you have already read. Many times, the movie has wrangled up the story or even changed it for the worse. Your vision of the characters may be much more valid and truer than what the director had in mind.

At a minimum you should be reading at least one book a month. That’s only twelve books a year.

If you walk into a Barnes and Noble book store and see all the books there you realize 12 is nothing.

The power of books is that they can take you anywhere without you ever leaving your chair.

The challenge is to choose the right ones since you can’t possibly read them all.

Although it is easier to order books online from Amazon; sometimes you just like holding the book and thumbing through it in a bookstore before buying it. It is interesting to note that the richest man in the world began his journey by just selling books. Hopefully you are continuing to read.

Reading is the most intimate relationship between total strangers. It is just you and the author.

GHOSTS ACROSS AMERICA

STAY A WHILE AT HOTEL MONTE VISTA IN FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA. Guests at Hotel Monte Vista have often enjoyed long stays at the downtown Flagstaff, Arizona, hotel, but not everyone leaves. Constructed in 1927, the hotel is host to a number of reported ghosts. The most well-known is an elderly woman who would spend hours rocking in the chair in her room. Today, her chair can be found moving on its own. Another popular visitor is the ghost of a bellboy who knocks on doors and announces that room service has arrived — only, no one's there. IS THERE A MONSTER IN PINE BARRENS, NEW JERSEY? This one’s for those who love mysterious creatures. Pine Barrens is a mass of forested land that spreads across seven counties in New Jersey — and its most famous resident isn’t human. The Jersey Devil has a long, storied history and is said to be a combination of many animals: Its body is shaped like a kangaroo with wings. It has the head of a dog but the face of a horse. The creature is believed to have had a sickly start to life in 1735 and has stayed to haunt the forest’s inhabitants and even those who visit the area today.

October is one of the best months for travel in the U.S. With mild temperatures and gorgeous, colorful leaves everywhere, there’s no better time for a cross- country road trip. Add some Halloween flair to your October vacation with these three ghostly attractions. VISIT THE MOST HAUNTED TOWN IN THE U.S. —WAYNESVILLE, OHIO. Sure, New Orleans may have a spooky past, but it doesn’t compare to Waynesville. Many residents and visitors think this Ohio town is rife with ghosts. You may hear cries to “hurry up” at The Hammel House Inn, where many tunnels for the underground railroad came through, or you could see the apparition of a businessman from the 1800s who “never checked out.” Other sources report hauntings at the town’s historical society, Museum at the Friends Home, including a little girl who moves toys and sits on the porch. The society leans into the local fascination and hosts regular walking ghost tours and ghost hunting classes.

NOT NIGHTGUARDS AGAIN Your Teeth Are Getting Tired

teeth ache you may need a nightguard. It’s like you are carrying a heavy bag and the next day your arms feel sore.

We’ve talked about this before but what I am seeing now in the practice is not new decay but broken fillings, broken crowns and broken teeth. Yes, we are all still stressed out. Batter up Covid Delta, Covid Lambda on deck. It’s like a baseball game but the consequences of losing are devastating. So, when you are off to sleep for many of you, your teeth are still in play. As in clenching and grinding. Your body is trying to relieve the stress and at the same time who knows what you are dreaming. The solution: get rid of the stress or protect your teeth with a nightguard. If you arise in the morning and the sides of your head are aching, if there is pain in your jaws or your

Not any nightguard but a custom fitted nightguard like I can make for you. The joint on your jaw moves in three directions. Forward, back, side to side and open and close. All your other joints move in only one plane. Look at your elbow or knee for comparison. Meaning the nightguard has to be made and fitted by a professional. Do not buy an over the counter or mail order contraption. Yes contraption. You use your jaw every day and damaging them is not good. Bottom line: if you are having the above symptoms call us for an evaluation. We will tell you if you are at risk. We can always clean your teeth at the same time. Something your friends and loved ones will appreciate.
