Words of Wellness Wisdom
from Susan Greeley, MS, RDN,
National Director, Wellness Services

As we head into the holiday season and approach the close of another extraordinary year, I want to offer inspiring and empowering words and also give you some helpful and even delicious ideas for improving your health in the coming year.

What comes to mind first for me is that I am thankful for the passing of this “old” year and look with much excitement and thanks to bringing in the new. In other words, this is a season of letting go of the past and being grateful. I believe all of us on some level know how important it is to give thanks and practice gratitude.
