It’s Okay…Press the “Mute” Button
a special feature from Kay Ziplow & Leslie Zinberg, Founders
Holiday time and knowing that a new year approaches we find ourselves out of breath so to speak! Come to think of it, our daily lives are so very busy that rarely do we intentionally indulge and hit the “mute” button. If you already do this, you are one of the lucky ones who have come to realize that once in a while, this is an important personal exercise for your physical and mental being. Hitting your personal mute button doesn’t mean you are disconnected; rather it infers how truly connected you are. Because our lives are bombarded with consistent stimulus and distractions and routines that comprise the function of our day, we need to take that step back and shut it all down and retrieve a moment or two to feel ourselves and our own presence as we navigate the busy world in which we live. Here’s two simple and mindful suggestions we have for you, and yes, you are worth it.

What better way than to give children their very own Thank-You Cards. Go ahead and let’s do this the old-fashion way. Purchase a cute box of cards for your grandkids to have on hand. Since manners are always in season, consider this a year-round gift of love.

“An entire sea of water can’t sink a ship unless it gets inside the ship.

6 Tips on Raising Grateful and Kind Children at Any Age
As grandparents, we can only hope that by example we have instilled compassionate values onto our children (no matter how old) and grandchildren as well. With the holidays now upon us, we believe it’s even a better time to take a moment and make sure that we certainly lead by example.

Grab Your Tweezers- Where did that little gray hair come from?
a special feature from Kay Ziplow & Leslie Zinberg, Founders GrandparentsLink
Hey, let’s face it… aging isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. How can 40 be the new 30, and 50 be the new 40? Somehow, we think the mathematicians are all mixed up. And even better… are they crazy? 60 is the new … oh forget it. Hopefully, you are lighthearted and open-minded enough to take a look in the mirror and laugh a little. After all, a sense of humor goes a long, long way!

a special feature from Kay & Leslie, founders grandparentslink.com
Is your glass half-empty or half-full? How you answer this age-old question about positive thinking may reflect your outlook on life, your attitude toward yourself, and whether you’re optimistic or pessimistic — and it may even affect your health.

Yes, you can have a room of your own!
A special feature from Leslie Zinberg & Kay Ziplow, founders Grandparentslink.com
Well, we have all heard of ‘man- caves’, right? That place or room where our most special guys retreat to for a little time out as we say. Maybe you have heard the latest iteration in gender-specific escapes is the ‘she-shed’, or quite simply a place any one of us designates to call our own little escape place. So, ladies, it’s your time, and it’s your turn to create a ‘Me-shed/she shed’, whether it’s a backyard destination or an in-home space. Doesn’t matter- it’s all yours!
