It is an understatement to say that jobs are on everyone’s minds. Many of us are faced with job and career changes that occur due to our efforts or by events outside of our control.
This month our feature article is on career changing – focusing on a plan to help guide you. This aid can help you prepare and manage this sometimes stressful event.
Steve Domitrecz is back with another article on energy saving ideas that can put dollars in your pocket, and that are kind to the environment. On the health side we have articles on proper shoe fittings, and an important statement by Senator Pat Browne on the H1N1 flu vaccine program.
On the finance side we discuss cool weather strategies and the state’s LIHEAP program which helps seniors in need of financial support for the heating bills. An article on adult care services and more on the issues confronting the “sandwich generation” round out our offerings this month.
As mentioned previously I started an exercise program. I had the program interrupted due to a number of serious family issues, but I am back on track now. Anyone who has done regular exercise will tell you that being interrupted for any length of time can easily kill motivation. Getting back is hard, but I know that, and I am more determined than ever to “suck it up” so I can “pump it up”.
My point is that perseverance is the key to success in almost everything. If you are thinking about starting an exercise program, or something bigger like a career change, keep in mind that persistence is the key. When your body or your mind says “take a day off”, ignore the temptation and keep going forward. It works for exercise and it works in life. See you next month.

When it comes to your care there are so many choices-nursing homes, assisted living facilities, home health agencies (nursing agencies), home care agencies and more. However, only you can choose what's right for you. At VISITING ANGELS, we know that it isn't easy to make the decision to invite a caregiver into your home to provide homecare for loved ones who can no longer be safely left alone. You'll have the opportunity to interview and select any caregiver who we refer to you. You'll only accept a caregiver that you feel totally comfortable with. When you meet our caregivers, you're going to be pleasantly surprised to see that at VISITING ANGELS, character matters! Visit our website
