               Family Values/Senior Care

200810_cover

Are you ready for the leaves to change into a brilliant palette of yellow, gold, orange, and red? North Georgia is in the process of being transformed into a warm glow that makes the already breathtaking views raise goose pimples on your arms.

Our feature, Family Values, comes at important times—Thanksgiving and the

presidential election—with thoughts and ideas of values important to the writers’ families! It’s a cool, beautiful time to go outside with your family for a hike, a game of bocci ball, or even to collect leaves the trees in your yard have shed, as on our cover. Many people allow the pain and unsightliness of vein problems to prevent them from enjoying activities with their families. VeinSolutions can provide treatments that will have you back on your feet again, enjoying the crisp North Georgia air. Find out more about the experiences of some of their patients, and the care they provide, on page 21.

Thanksgiving is so much more than food and football. It is a time to truly give thanks for your situation in life—a time of counting your blessings. Even if circumstances are not exactly as you would have them (we have 401(k) plans, too), it is important to keep a positive and faithful eye on the future.

Our sub-feature, Senior Care, is such an important topic to families. With a society that doesn’t always honor the wisdom, knowledge, and love that has grown in the elderly, family structure and making a plan for future care are crucial. Local contributors who have a heart for seniors have made this topic a standout. You will want to read about ways to keep your favorite senior active, and options if assisted care is a necessity. We hope your family has the honor of an active matriarch or patriarch guiding you through the social climate that exists in our world!

The 400 Edition family encourages you to cast your ballot in November. The presidential election has been widely covered, but there are other critical elections as well. Most local registrars have encouraged early voting to minimize your wait. Voting is an honor and a responsibility that we hope you will execute with thoughtfulness.
