August 2019 Newsletter

Seasonal Lethargic Disorder

We all know about “Seasonal Affective Disorder” or “SAD” is caused by seasonal change and reduced exposure to sunlight. However, in August, I have diagnosed myself with “Seasonal Lethargic Disorder”. During this month, I prefer to conduct my affairs at a leisurely pace. Days off are spent lounging and relaxing, instead of galivanting. I am going to seek out natural bodies of water to cool off in, and catch up on some good books, and enjoy quality time with my family before the busy season.

Bike-a-thon Smiles!

On July 14 th , 2019 the Rotary Club hosted the annual “Ride for Hearing”. An intrepid group of cyclists biked from through the Fraser Valley to the town of Harrison – a 120 km journey. Among them, Steve and Aaron cycled to represent Team Go Dog Go! Overall, the event raised $156,000 for new technologies, new clinical procedures, and teaching techniques to support the hearing impaired. Thank you for all that donated and supported our team! Together, we made a huge impact! Click here to learn more about next year's event!

Mindy’s Reading Corner:

I often sing the praises of physical exercise, but mental acuity is equally important and also has a huge impact on overall wellness. August is always a time of year when I reach for a book to destress, but reading has many notably benefits. It improves memory, vocabulary, helps develop analytical thinking, and is also hugely enjoyable! This month, I’m reading Atomic Habits by James Clear, which I'm finding to be an effective guide on how to change my habits. I’m always eager to swap recommendations. Let me know what your favourite titles were this year.

Back to School

It can’t be time to get ready for September yet, can it? It feels like just yesterday that we were taking our first outdoor swim and relishing drinks on the patio early in the season. I never feel ready to let go of summer time bliss. However, I always look forward to fall and back-to-school preparation, which helps ease the blow. Ever since I was young, stocking up on school supplies and gear has always been a great pleasure to me. Let us at Green & Green equip any returning student in your life with stationary and school supplies that will get them excited for the school year, inscribed with something special.
