Community for the “Win”

Jane and I were taking a yoga class together when we were on vacation.  The teacher was great.  In one class she had us work on Warrior 3, a challenging pose, in a variety of ways.  At the end of this, she wanted to show us that things are easier...

Living With Anxiety

I realize that it’s been quite some time since one of our monthly articles specifically addressed anxiety.  I talked about it in my book, “Living Through the Storms of Life”, but the last blog article on the subject was way back in May of 2019!  At that...

Saint Illness

I wish I could tell you an exciting story about how it happened, but it was silly.  Last week I slipped in a Zumba class and fell, bending my arm in a way it was never supposed to bend. I went to the hospital and found I have an avulsion fracture of my elbow with...

The Storms of Aging

Shannon Robbins, a talented wedding and portrait photographer, created the image above while she was in school.  It was an assignment to depict an elderly man looking at himself in a mirror and still seeing the young man that he once was.  She took this...

More Backwards Walking

I know, I know, we have talked about this before in our newsletter, but there are so many benefits to backwards walking that I am going to bring it up again. Summer is the easiest time to give it a try, so I (Dr. Dave) thought I'd bring it up one more time.It doesn’t...

More Maintenance

You may have noticed a large puddle in front of our office door at one of your visits.  One might call it a small lake. This is not a water feature that we are adding, though ponds are certainly very attractive and gold fish could be an interesting addition to the...
