My friend Clive at Take it Easy reminds us about Mental Health Awareness Week. We’re in the midst of it here in The States and it’s coming up next week in the UK. But really … there’s no timeline for mental health awareness and it doesn’t take a huge time commitment or expensive exercise equipment. A doctor friend of mine likes to say “When you wake up, get up. And when you get up, do something.” Simple enough, even for this old bird! Stay healthy, my friends!

Hi Nancy yes indeed your friend is right and we all need to shout out about Mental health awareness because it is the poor relation of medical systems all around the world and sadly it’s a killer! 💜💜
