Cranky, grumbler, moaner, complainer... GROUCH. We all know them, sometimes we are them. Misery loves company but, don't bring that misery on the road. On National Grouch Day, we encourage you to find some joy and happiness before getting behind the wheel as your mental mindset affects your driving.

Try this tips if you feel the grouchiness taking hold:
- take slow, deep breaths
- relax tense muscles by squeezing them tight and then letting go all the way up and down your body
- avoid caffeine
- reframe negative thoughts into positive ones
- visualize success

Last Wednesday, Mature Driver Program, in partnership with Kiara from Dell Seton Medical Center, and Monique and Pete from Texas Department of Transportation - Austin District, hosted a CarFit Event at Westminster in Austin. 22 residents received an individualized CarFit check-up in their personal vehicle to improve their safety and overall driving comfort. Additionally, 12 new technicians got trained in the Austin-area last week, enabling them to help even more seniors stay safe. Remember to always check that your vehicle is adjusted properly for YOU every time you get behind the wheel!

Last Friday Pamela traveled to Comfort, TX to attend the Health and Safety Fair at Comfort Golden Age Center. During the day she had the opportunity to interact with many seniors who had attended the CarFit event almost 2 years ago and are still talking about it! Those seniors are still buckling up every time, just like you should!

"10-4, Good Buddy". Do you remember using a CB Radio? The term "10-4" was lingo for Message Received, understood or "OK", and we hope you are doing more than OK today!

The next time you are on the road, be sure to leave 3 to 4 seconds following distance for our 18 wheeler friends so we all have enough space to brake and stop if needed.

If not, today is the day! Today is National Name Your Car Day! Show that ride some love and give it a name.

Thank you to St. Joseph Health Grimes Hospital for hosting!

On Tuesday, September 29, Janet attended the Bosque County Health Fair at First Baptist Church in Clifton. The event featured 42 booths and welcomed approximately 200 community members, along with students from the local high school’s careers class.

Janet partnered with Terry Taylor, Bosque County - Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, to help make the event a success. The health fair provided a valuable opportunity to connect with community members, share resources, and promote health and safety awareness.

A special thank-you to Terry Taylor for coordinating a successful event and providing an opportunity for meaningful networking and community outreach!
