e are excited to bring you
another excellent edition of
Vital Signs! We are finally seeing
some signs of Spring with hopes of a
beautiful Summer ahead. With the arrival
of Spring, comes the excitement to get
outdoors and be more active, perhaps try
something new. This issue focuses on ways
to relax, reduce stress, and some healthy tips
for the upcoming seasons. We all talk about
living life to the fullest, now let's make it
happen!! I am challenging you to find your
escape - the activity that makes you a
better you! Try yoga, meditation, exercise,
running, hiking, whatever brings you joy and

commit to doing that activity regularly. You
will find that not only will you be happier,
but it makes you better for everyone else in
your life. Lastly, spread the word! Encourage
others in your life to do the same. Ask them
to join you for a yoga/exercise class or just
go for a walk/hike together. Remember
happiness and healthiness are contagious,
spread them around!!

Be well!
