HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
To all our friends, old and new – Our staff take great pride in each of you giving us the opportunity to serve you. This has been a great growing year for us. With your help, we plan next year to be even more exciting.
May God bless you and yours, now and in the years to come. Our best to you for a healthy, happy, prosperous holiday season and New Year!
Potpourri of holiday gifts picked out at several meetings and journals over the last several months just for you:
** A mother recently asked me my opinion of her son using smokeless tobacco. Smoking is an obnoxious health hazard. Snuff and chewing tobacco are being marketed as the “lesser of two evils.” NOT SO! Smokeless tobacco users are four times more likely to get cancer and also are more likely to develop increased blood pressure, gum disease and discolored teeth.
** Are you planning to start a daily exercise program as one of your New Year’s resolutions? The golden rule is never push yourself so hard that you can’t talk with someone throughout your exercise; and 15 minutes 4-5 times a week is enough to improve your fitness!
** Watch out for children’s chewable vitamins! Don’t leave them on the table where a child could reach them! An overdose could lead to shock and severe damage to the liver and digestive system.
Here’s a variety of ideas that I picked up at the American Dental Association’s annual national meeting in November of this year:
Ø Five years after you stop smoking you’re only half as likely to die of lung cancer as a current smoker.
Ø Gum disease can be transmitted by kissing. Before you step under the mistletoe make sure we’ve checked out your smoocher.
Ø Stained, chipped teeth? Bleaching, plastic bonding, and porcelain veneers can give you the smile you deserve! The annual meeting had lots of new ideas to help you improve your appearance.
Ø Northwestern Medical School found that four hugs a day can reduce your blood pressure and increase the oxygen content of your blood.
Be sure to use your insurance benefits effectively this year! After all, you earned them. If your policy is on a calendar year, benefits not used by December 31 will be lost forever!
It’s not the GIVING
It’s not the RECEIVING
IT’S THE LOVING!
Live, love, laugh! Good friends good times, good health, good cheer, and happy days throughout the year!
FOR ALL PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS, AUNTS AND UNCLES
If you reward my “goods” with candy, somehow I’ll equate
My times of happy confidence, with something sweet I ate.
The sweets will become more important, than they really are.
For I’ll mix your approval with a chewy candy bar.
If you reward “good” with attention, make loving words a treat.
Then I’ll not start confusing love with something sweet to eat!
