Small Steps to Healthy Habits - Katie Cullum
Many distractions exist while driving, but cell phones are a top distraction because so many drivers use them for long periods of time each day. Almost everyone has seen a driver distracted by a cell phone, but when you are the one distracted, you often don't realize that driver is you.
Lesson 2-Grow: Cultivate your strengths The health of the garden is rooted in the health of the individual gardeners. If we do not nurture our personal strengths and abilities – or if we fail to manage our personal weaknesses – we will not be well prepared to take on our gardening tasks. The most successful gardeners know that they must invest time in reflection, learning and improvement. They then have more strengths to bring to the garden and to their gardening partnerships.
When you walk into a room or closet do you say, “Someday I have GOT to clean this place up.” That day will never come unless you plan that “someday”. Sit down with your calendar and plan a day, a few hours or whatever you can spare to start your declutter journey. Will you get it all done in a short time? Doubtful, but you will at least have started and can motivate yourself to plan a second (or third, or fourth) time to clean up your out-of-control space.

We all hear about how physical activity is good and important to people living life with diabetes. The good news is, it’s not too hard to be more active! Being physically active while managing diabetes can make your body more sensitive to insulin (the hormone that allows cells in your body to use blood sugar for energy) to better help manage your diabetes. Physical activity is also helpful in controlling blood sugar levels and lowers the risk of heart disease and nerve damage.
The recent surge of COVID infections has caused many to wonder if the vaccine has done its job. After all, many of us know of folks who have been vaccinated but have tested positive for the virus infection. So, what’s up with that?!

Butternut squash is one of the most common winter squashes. This foot long, bell shaped variety has thin, butterscotch colored skin, making it easier to peel than many other squash varieties. It cooks quickly and is dense and creamy, making it excellent for pies, or pair with a variety of flavors, including smoky bacon, cinnamon, and balsamic vinegar. It also has the highest doses of vitamins A and C of all winter squash.
