As spring settles in (did you see Valerie’s beautiful spring wordle cloud<\/a>?), what better time to share some of your reflections on what “living fresh” means to you?  Here are some of your gems, please add even more below:<\/p>\n

B – breathe
\nR – reasonably
\nE – equal
\nA – always
\nT – thankful for
\nH – having
\nE – exhales
—Tonya<\/i><\/p>\n

“How beautiful it could be if we could only love each other. Always.”
—Dibban Guha<\/i><\/p>\n

“Always include God in everything you do whether big or small. God,
\nlove, and memories are all things that no one can take from you in these
\nuncertain times we are living in, so keep all three close in your heart.”
—Renee<\/i><\/p>\n

“Acknowledge nature – take a walk or look out the window. Write
\nsomething every day. Have a sensory experience of touching a flower,
\ntree bark or a leaf. Put aside some pampering time each day to do
\nsomething special for yourself. Smile at everyone you meet.”
—Lady of Light<\/i><\/p>\n
