How will you be remembered🪦?

Greetings and may this note find you in great health with your Medicare insurance coverage 🏥 working properly.

Saturday, December 7 is the final day of the Annual Election Period!  Gray and I are working on Saturday.

Call 877-850-0211 if you still need to speak about Part D drug plans💊.

  • If you have a Medicare supplement plan, we can shop premiums any month of the year (if you are in good health🥗🍎💪🌿✨).
  • If you have a Medicare Advantage Plan, there is an Open Election Period from January 1st till March 31st where you are still able to make one change.

The winter weather continues in Colorado and we sure have been enjoying the precious time with family before our Airman Nicholas heads back overseas. Where does the time go?

Last weekend, we celebrated a Thanksgiving Christmas combo, turkey and Santa Claus. It was so much fun to pull out the old ornaments, this one from my great great grandparents, 1853. The bottom line translates as “remember us from the grave,” wow!

Holidays are when we hope to strengthen family bonds and build lasting memories.  But, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Here are a few ideas to help you stay happy, healthy, and grounded through the end of the year.

  • Stay Active:  Enjoy family walks, gentle yoga, or even a snowball fight! Movement helps manage stress and keeps energy levels high.
  • Eat Smart:  Indulge in holiday treats but aim for balance. Include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins in your meals.
  • Rest Well:  Prioritize sleep to recharge your body and mind for all the festivities.

  • Be Present:  Put down the phone and focus on real conversations. Ask family members about their favorite memories or future plans.
  • Practice Gratitude:  Share what you’re thankful for—this small act can boost everyone’s mood.
  • Create New Traditions:  Whether it’s baking cookies, watching a classic movie, or volunteering together, building memories is what the holidays are about.The Bruns-Kyler family together in their living room.
  • Set Boundaries:  It’s okay to say no to events or requests that feel overwhelming.
  • Plan Ahead:  Organize holiday tasks early to avoid last-minute chaos.
  • Breathe:  Take a moment to relax with deep breathing or a short meditation if things feel hectic.

  • Volunteer:  Help out at a local shelter, or support a charity close to your heart. Quantz has been delivering Meals on Wheels and really enjoying it.
  • Check on Neighbors:  Reach out to elderly neighbors or those who may be spending the holidays alone.

We’re going to blink and the holidays (and our lives) will be over. Just like my great great grandparents ask to be remembered from the grave – how will you be remembered?

Keep squeezing the juice out of life and look for ways to help others!
