Shift Your Status Quo

This time of confusion and chaos is a great opportunity for scammers. They take advantage of our fear and vulnerability and strike through our inboxes, phones, mail and social media.

From my last blog entry, Wellness During a Public Health Crisis, wellness can be defined as a healthful condition through proper diet, exercise and preventative medicine. 

Another definition (mine), learned and earned through years of research, is “A state of overall being where an organism has achieved, for that organism’s particular body, mind, spirit and the environment where it lives, an optimal balance in and of its physical (musculature, blood, bones and all organ function), emotional, mental, spiritual and environmental systems.”

Getting ready for winter marks the transition from the warm, visual abundance of summer to the cold, stark beauty of winter.

During winter, we deal with power outages, incessant rain, snow and gray. Living in an area where we look up at gray skies and out at gray water can be difficult. Anticipating what’s coming gives us a sense of control and readiness.

Check your home and outbuildings for winter safety and durability. Check your yard, too. The path of surface water may have a warm-season route which changes in a heavy rain. Is the water’s winter path clear?
