Share it and you'll feel better

Sadness can turn life to drudgery. Life does it to all of us. Disappointment, loss or periods of loneliness can make us feel sad. How we deal with the sadness can influence how well and how quickly we recover.

Psychotherapist Carol Juengersen Sheets says some people deal with it outwardly. Some just keep it inside. This can be a mistake because it lasts longer. Sadness can sap energy, zap concentration and reduce productivity.

No one wants to exhibit a sad attitude to friends and family, but letting them know what's going on with you has its benefits.

Phillip Coffey: some real characters

By Phillip Wood Coffey

We had some real characters in my family.

My Great Uncle Ben Coffey said,”I don’t believe the Good Lord would leave the weather up to a groundhog.”

Another of my relatives said, decades ago, “I don’t think they went and landed on the moon; we don’t even have a moon two days a month.”

Learn about Physicians in Early Adair Co. at next ACGS meeting

By Mike Watson

Early settlers in the Adair County area had limited access to expert medical attention. However, the growing frontier of Kentucky saw practitioners of the medical arts--such as they were--set up shop in every town.

Students of medicine would "read medicine" with established doctors and, when the teacher deemed them ready, would go out into their own practice. Some of these doctors were good at their profession, some were not. Most people did their own primitive doctoring, but at times a professional was needed.

Learn more about early medical practitioners at the next meeting of the Adair County Genealogical Society at 5pmCT on Monday, February 5, 2024, at the Adair Genealogy & History Research Center, 307 Greensburg St, Columbia, KY.

Sponsored by the Adair County Genealogical Society and the Adair Genealogy & History Research Center of the Adair County Public Library. For more information: adairgenealogy@gmail.com or 270.380.1024; or follow our face book history pages.
