So, it’s the end of the year and so many have no idea what comes next.

There’s been protests. There have been freak-outs. People behaving badly.

I haven’t heard much talk about diet, exercise, and attitude. This is important. All of it. There’s a mind-body connection that can make us ill, or make us better (to a point).

This new variant, Omicron, is supposed to be less lethal for all, but we have to start out healthier. Eat your veggies, get better sleep, laugh at stuff.

This new year is going to present new challenges, no one seems to think it’s going to get better soon. More covid, supply shortages, doctor shortages, housing shortages. Inflation, job shutdowns. Dare I…
