    Listen To Your Body

    Do you listen to your body? For years I used to try and “power through” whatever it was trying to tell me. I would go to work sick or over tired because “I was important!” I have things to do, work that must be done. You know how they say “only essential personnel should report.”…

    I find myself reflecting on this Veteran’s Day. The day has taken on a new significance for me now that my son, son-in-law and daughter-in-law are all serving in the Navy. I’m sure they’ll go to a participating restaurant to get their free meal today and they deserve it. I’m sure you’ve seen the viral…
