She holds a pretty high stress job in a metropolitan area and took instruction after years of struggling with sleep. She found the practice had improved her sleep patterns considerably and as a result improved her outlook even more considerably.
Mike and I spoke a bit about it and he said, not for the first time, “You ought to take it.” I nodded in agreement and said I would think about it... Letter: Keeping Our Waters Healthy
To The Editor:
As summer ramps up I'm hoping we all work to help keep our rivers as healthy as possible. Last year our neighbors dumped large amounts of leaves into the river which doesn't seem like a harmful thing since leaves fall in the river naturally.
