This focus allows you to avoid unnecessary stress, depression or anxiety and helps you make the most of every moment. A positive outlook trumps a negative outlook any day of the week, and it paves the way for better outcomes in life. It’s called staying on the highway to happiness. The entrance is right in front of you.

In a week or two, summer vacation will be officially over. Most kids will be returning to the classroom, either reluctantly or with a high level of enthusiasm. The one common thread is they will all return. Once school starts, so will the daily routine of taking notes, listening to the teacher, reading, doing homework, getting along with other kids, and taking exams or test. It’s also a time for competitive sports try outs, school socials, and meeting new friends.

We all savor those last days of summer – the beaches, barbeques, picnics and family trips. But in the back of our minds, we all know that summer will soon come to an end. It’s back to school time. And nice as it would be to stretch out those last drops of summer fun, it’s also time to prepare the kids for a fresh start to their new school year.

This month, US Family Health Plan shines the spotlight on Survivor Outreach Services (SOS) HRCI Contractor, Christopher L. Peffley, based in Bordentown, New Jersey. SOS was established in 2008 as a U.S. military program that provides dedicated and comprehensive support to the survivors of deceased service members. SOS supports the families of the fallen by providing access to the information and services they need -- when they need it and for however long they need it. These families include our esteemed Gold Star Families and every other family who has lost a loved one who bravely served as part of our country’s military.
