Daily Tip

“ Welcome the seasons by discovering ways to "be" in them. Give several activities a try and see which you'll be passionate about -- year round! ”

Bonus Tip

“ A Washington University study found that within a 24-hour cycle, it's normal for your core body temperature to lower or rise from the average 98.6o F. So if the thermometer reads a little high (or low), it doesn't necessarily mean you have a cold or flu virus. ”

I hate the idea of going under the knife. So I was very upset when the doctor told me I needed a tonsillectomy. Later, the nurse and I were filling out an admission form. I tried to respond to the questions, but I was so nervous I couldn't speak. The nurse put down the form, took my hands in hers and said, "Don't worry. This medical problem can easily be fixed, and it's not a dangerous procedure." "You're right. I'm being silly," I said, feeling relieved. "Please continue." "Good. Now," the nurse went on, "do you have a living will?"
