Wild Rides

I was a day late with our FitClub newsletter because I never even realized yesterday was Friday. Our topic today is Wild Rides.

The Year of the Word

Every year at Koko Centerville we decide on a yearly theme. 2023 was “New Year, Best Year.” Most of us begin the new year by promising ourselves a bunch of things that we are going to improve in the next 12 months.

For the past two days I have been listening to the local news stations talk about getting used to the new normal. I beg to differ. This is NOT the new normal. The new normal implies that this is life from now on – forever. This is NOT our life forever. This WILL end. . . . → Read More: NOT The New Normal
