Food for thought…Positive expectations

Start the day expecting good things. Go through the day living up to your expectations.

Expect effective, sustained, purposeful effort from yourself. Expect kindness, patience, understanding, curiosity, energy and per-sistence.

Expect to run into challenges, and expect to successfully work through each one. Expect for circumstances to change, and expect to successfully adapt.

Don’t hide from life, don’t fear what the day will bring. Get a jump on the day by firmly setting your own positive expectations.

Expect to occasionally stumble, and expect to quickly get back up and get going again each time you do. Expect to run into a few disappointments, and expect to respond by becoming more determined than ever.

Expect opportunities, setbacks, joys, discomforts, distractions, inconveniences, delights and wonders. And expect to make the very best of everything you encounter.

Cold Weather Safety for Older Adults

If you are like most people, you feel cold every now and then during the winter. What you may not know is that just

being really cold can make you very sick.

Older adults can lose body heat fast—faster than when they were young. Changes in your body that come with aging

can make it harder for you to be aware of getting cold. A big chill can turn into a dangerous problem before an older

person even knows what's happening. Doctors call this serious problem hypothermia.

What Is Hypothermia?

Hypothermia is what happens when your body temperature gets very low. For an older person, a body temperature of

95°F or lower can cause many health problems, such as a heart attack, kidney problems, liver damage, or worse.

Being outside in the cold, or even being in a very cold house, can lead to hypothermia. Try to stay away from cold

places, and pay attention to how cold it is where you are. You can take steps to lower your chance of getting hypo-

thermia.

Keep Warm Inside

Living in a cold house, apartment, or other building can cause hypothermia. In fact, hypothermia can happen to some-

one in a nursing home or group facility if the rooms are not kept warm enough. If someone you know is in a group

facility, pay attention to the inside temperature and to whether that person is dressed warmly enough.

People who are sick may have special problems keeping warm. Do not let it get too cold inside and dress warmly.

Even if you keep your temperature between 60°F and 65°F, your home or apartment may not be warm enough to keep

you safe. This is a special problem if you live alone because there is no one else to feel the chilliness of the house or

notice if you are having symptoms of hypothermia.

Here are some tips for keeping warm while you're inside:

Set your heat to at least 68–70°F. To save on heating bills, close off rooms you are not using. Close the vents and

shut the doors in these rooms, and keep the basement door closed. Place a rolled towel in front of all doors to keep out

drafts.

Make sure your house isn't losing heat through windows. Keep your blinds and curtains closed. If you have gaps

around the windows, try using weather stripping or caulk to keep the cold air out.

Dress warmly on cold days even if you are staying in the house. Throw a blanket over your legs. Wear socks and

slippers.

When you go to sleep, wear long underwear under your pajamas, and use extra covers. Wear a cap or hat.

Make sure you eat enough food to keep up your weight. If you don't eat well, you might have less fat under your

skin. Body fat helps you to stay warm. Drink alcohol moderately, if at all. Alcoholic drinks can make you lose body heat. Ask family or friends to check on you during cold weather. If a power outage leaves you without heat, try to stay

with a relative or friend.

Bundle Up on Windy, Cold Days

A heavy wind can quickly lower your body temperature. Check the weather forecast for windy and cold days. On

those days, try to stay inside or in a warm place. If you have to go out, wear warm clothes, and don't stay out in the

cold and wind for a long time.

Here are some other tips:

Dress for the weather if you have to go out on chilly, cold, or damp days.

Wear loose layers of clothing. The air between the layers helps to keep you warm.

Put on a hat and scarf. You lose a lot of body heat when your head and neck are uncovered.

Wear a waterproof coat or jacket if it's snowy.

Change your clothes right away if they get damp or wet.
