Prescription for improved health – Walk
This past winter was not much fun for me. Heck, last summer and fall weren’t all that great either. My life seemed to be deep in the pits. Than I was given the suggestion – WALK! Don’t think. Just walk and let Mother Nature do her magic. I have always liked to walk. It was Read More >>
