Hesitancy and having to see where our feet are landing is a great sign of insecurity conce ing our balance. Why does this happen?

It’s great for your mind as well as your body One always hears this advice, “Get some exercise into your day!”, from friends, television programs, magazines, the doctor – for example, to walk for 40 minutes every day – but really, why should we exercise, especially if we consider we don’t need to?

Is "Retirement" The New Bad Word? Does your heart lie to you? Do you feel your age? Most people don't. I feel 28 until I look in the mirror. Then I suffer from PTSD!

It started out to be a nice visit from my son. We spent a great deal of time talking about our jobs and how our family members were coping with every day trials and tribulations.

The one thing I never did with my mom as a young adult was to go away-- just the two of us to have uninterrupted mother daughter time. And while I suppose it was indicative of our parents' generation (as I really don’t know anyone of my peers who did those type of things with their mothers), I am left to believe it simply wasn’t on their radar.
