Removing Barriers to a Healthy Lifestyle
A feature by Jan Pierce
'Are you trying to remove barriers to a healthy life? When my husband and I got married we smiled at each other and talked about growing old together. We were young and our thoughts of old age seemed so far into the future that it was barely worth mentioning. We were healthy and thought we’d always stay that way.
Now we’ve been married forty-five years this coming April and, thankfully, our dreams of growing old together are becoming reality. Some of our friends and acquaintances have passed away. Some are experiencing life with serious diseases such as cancer and diabetes and even dementia. We have a bit of arthritis and spend a significant amount of time searching for things such as our glasses and car keys.'
