Hello my friends, Hello Everyone, I first want to say "Happy Holidays" to you all and I trust that your Halloween and Thanksgiving gatherings were an absolute blast for you. I am so happy that the Summer heat is long over as we all suffered during those trying times without rain and 65 days of straight 100 plus degree days. Our Fall weather is here and the trees are absolutely beautiful this time of year so make sure that you take some long needed walks with your loved ones and enjoy what mother nature has to offer. Winter is fast approaching though and we need to remember to do the things that we should always do during this time of year such as winterizing our homes and making sure that our four-legged loved ones are ready for the cold weather. Take advantage of the great weather that we are experiencing now by getting those outside chores done before it is too late. We have experienced some disasters this past month due to the earthquakes that rocked Central Oklahoma and my thoughts and prayers go out to those who were devastated because of the damages caused from the earthquakes. This December, remember to do something special for the less fortunate because they might need a hand up and someone to remember them. Doing something special for someone other than yourself always makes you feel good and it certainly makes the person that you are doing something for feel more like there
is still hope in their lives. Our elderly citizens are always in need of something special, so remember them during the winter months. Help them with their daily chores and drive them to where they need to go such as doctors appointments, grocery shopping and take time to listen to them when they speak of the "old days". OK Health and Fitness Magazine will continue to do its part to bring the best informative and incisive articles from around the state each issue, always remember that we are here for you! God Bless, Happy Holidays, stay safe and remember to "Think and be Healthy".
[ Bradley Smith, Editor ]
