I recall when our son was very young. His childcare provider let me know her concerns with his eating.

“Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being while movement and methodical physical exercise saves and preserves it.” Plato said that some 2,300 years ago. It is not news to anyone that moving the body is the best way to stay healthy. But sometimes life gets in the way, whether in the form of a motor vehicle accident, a nerve condition like Guillain-Barre syndrome, or a health condition like a stroke, there are times in life when knowing that exercise is good for you is not enough. And it is during those times that physical therapy becomes crucial.

Then the kids made snowman ornaments and had a snack. They also got a few more treats since it is Christmas time. Thank you to everyone that came.

I sure love this time of the year!! People seem happier, kinder, and full of holiday cheer. I love the way our house looks in the evenings with just the Christmas lights on. We haven't put our big tree up in several years. With just Bruce and I, we have several smaller trees and villages set up that provide beautiful lighting. We usually celebrate with our boys and their families, as the time works for them.

Socks. Until we get our first snowfall, I can go without them. All summer I either wear sandals or go barefoot (my preference). Yet I have drawers full of them. Long socks, short socks, toe socks, superhero socks with little capes attached (because I’m a real sock star), socks that don’t match (on purpose because life’s too short for boring socks), socks that I have knit, socks without buddies – socks, socks, and more socks because socks are like friends – you can never have too many!!

Charcuterie boards have been the alltime favorite for many people the last few years. There are several displays that have now become spin-offs of the traditional board.
