Column August 27

In our busy stressful daily lives we should sit down and take a look at what we actually have. Good health is one factor that we should not take for granted. Does it take money to get good health? Absolutely not. We are fortunate to have wonderful park systems in Lexington that allow families to spend the day enjoying many activities. Start now with a health program through the internet that encourages your participation — there are lots of them out there. Just a simple walk program will give you great benefits along with some peaceful time. For a full list of park facilities visit www.lexingtonky.gov/parks
