Clean up Your Room
Your room is you. Clean it up. That
observation from University of Toronto
Clinical Psychology Professor Jordan B.
Peterson is part of the advice he gives
to patients in his clinical practice.
The concept is practical assignment
for dealing with a chaotic world or a
chaotic mind.
Peterson says the idea is the first place
to start if you want to change your
life or change the world. First get your
own world in order.
Then once your room is in order, make
it beautiful. Peterson says beauty in
one place lifts the spirits and makes it
possible to make other rooms beautiful
and, by extension, bring order and
more beauty to your whole life.
This isn’t Peterson’s only message. In
his book 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote
to Chaos, he advises people who feel
anxious and chaotic to remember that
suffering is normal, a part of life. But
everyone can mediate some parts of
it well:
Bringing order to your room is a good first
step in bringing order to your life.
• Take advantage of opportunities
available to you.
• Don’t let bitterness drag you down.
• Make peace with your brother.
• Treat the people in your life with
respect.
• Stop doing things that destroy your
health and wellbeing.
“Highly recommend DNA Pro Cleaning and
Restoration. They were professional, prompt
and made my floors look beautiful again.
They have knowledgeable technicians and
state of the art equipment. It was refreshing
to deal with such a reliable and professional
business. They have already cleaned my
carpet and refinished my hardwood floors.
I will hire them again for my tile bathroom
and tile floors. Great job DNA!”

Their response time to our plumbing water
damage was quick and the restoration work
was done perfectly, also very timely. They
were thorough and knowledgeable. We were

hesitate to recommend, and for sure we’d
use them again.”

Did You Know Nearly All Countries
Have Some Sort of Mother’s Day
It has been said in song that the word
‘mother’ is so precious that it sounds
the same in every language. The mariachi sounds of Las Mananitas
are heard in Mexico every May 10 to
celebrate mom.
If that is true, it shouldn’t be a surprise
that mothers throughout the world
have a special day. In Indian and Japan, Mother’s Day is the
second Sunday in May.
In the United States and Canada,
Mother’s Day is always the second
Sunday in May. In the U.S. Mother’s Day
was officially established in 1914.
Around the world, the dates may be
different but the celebration is roughly
the same: Cards, flowers or maybe
chocolates for mom.
In Egypt and some other Arab
countries, mothers are honored on the
first day of spring, according to Time.
France established their holiday for
mothers in 1950 and is generally on the
fourth Sunday in May.
In the UK, mothers were honored as
early as the 16th century on the fourth
Sunday of Lent, called Mothering
Sunday.

Moneywise
Using Salvage Groceries to
Help a Food Budget
There are many ways to save money on
the food bill, but according to Lifehacker,
salvage grocery stores are a great way to find
incredible deals on a random assortment of
products. These stores, sometimes called
grocery outlets, may offer savings of 50
percent or more as compared to a traditional
grocer because they are often selling food
that other stores are trying to get rid of for
one reason or another.
If a grocery store orders too much food,
damages the packaging or has out-of-
season inventory, then they will sometimes
move it to these secondary stores to open
up space for new items. Manufacturers
themselves can even bring products that
have gone through a packaging change
or rebrand to avoid having them in major
retailers. Many larger cities will have at least
one of these places available to supplement
a traditional grocery budget.
