A neighbor is moving today. There house is for sale. In this neighborhood it won’t be long before it is sold. I’ll miss them. They were friendly, always said hello, and they were a loving family. Their lives changed. Their daughter will go to a new school and meet new friends. They are off to new jobs and a new home. Back in my neighborhood we’ll have new neighbors to welcome and new relationships to form. The people who move into my neighborhood will be leaving someplace to begin a new adventure here. Nothing stays the same. That’s the lesson of the four seasons. Things are always changing. When we accept change as a normal part of life, we put ourselves in a good place to adjust to the changes as they come into our lives.

Today’s Health Tip ~ Get Up and Move
Avoid Sitting for Long Spells.
If you have a desk job that involves sitting all day or you like to binge-watch TV, Dr.Anthony Pick, MD, of Northwestern Medicine Lake Forest Hospital in Illinois urges you to get up and move regularly. Research suggests that long periods of sitting are harmful for the heart. “There’s that saying that ‘sitting is the new smoking,’” Pick says. Current exercise guidelines recommend 150 minutes of moderately intense exercise a week, or at least 30 minutes of physical activity 5 days a week. Choose physical activities that you enjoy enough to do regularly.
