New Year

Well, it looks like we made it through another year. Many of you will be making resolutions to exercise more, eat better, or spend extra time with your family. Today I went for a run, as is usual for the first day of the year. But that is not for everyone, nor should it be. You should make some type of promise to yourself or others that this year, you will be a better you. You should be a little more active, eat a little better, be more social or take up a new habit that will lead to more cognitive proficiency. You can do crossword puzzles, or "Lumosity,"   learn a new language or an instrument. Work your body, your brain and your social skills. Do as much as you can this year, to make sure that you will still be here next year. Yet, you do not merely want to exist this year or next. You want to be fit enough and sane enough to enjoy the year. That enjoyment will only come from within, so this year, be the best YOU, that you can be.

Make 2016 YOUR year...
