It’s Springtime: Refresh and Renew Your Body, Mind and Spirit
Each year, the Spring season can breathe new life into people who’ve endured long cold gloomy winters. Depending on your location, you may have garbed yourself in thermal pullover shirts and pants, bulky overcoats, boots and gloves for longer than you care to remember.

When You Love Someone, Listen to What They Don't Say Out Loud
People's words don't always reveal their true feelings. Some people go through life masking their depression with insincere laughs, smiles and "I'm okays."

Always Remember Your Past but Don't Try Going Back There
The older you get, the more you may find yourself reminiscing about your past. You may stumble across pictures of you taken when you were years and decades younger, or you may hear a song that takes you back to a special place and time. As you've gotten older you may have gained a significant amount of weight, your hair may be greying and getting thinner, and your face may bear wrinkles of the struggles you've been through. You may wish you still looked the way you did in yo
