Healthy Habits for Life: Body, Mind and Spirit Series If you’ve followed my blog any this year you’ve noticed that I had a knee replacement back in February. And with that knee replacement I made the decision to change some things about my diet and exercise. It’s a big deal to have a joint replaced.

I decided it was a little too early to get up so I laid back down for 30 more minutes. When I sat up on the side of the bed to grab my walker it wasn’t there. I’m feeling around in the dark wondering where in the world my walker is, and then it hit me. I got up and hobbled to the hallway unassisted. There sat my walker, right by the bathroomRead More →
