M: A club? I don’t mean to be backhanded, but why go to a club?

P: A club brings people together and provides an environment perfect for exercising and having fun with friends. In good company, time passes quickly and any activity is more enjoyable.

M: So I’d have to … do stuff. Like what?

P: Swimming is a whole body activity, using all muscle groups. It builds strength, endurance, and aerobic fitness. Organized swimming provides skill practice and aerobic activity while having fun with friends, but even casual swimming is beneficial.

M: You do realize it’s winter?

P: Even though it is hard to think of temperatures warm enough to swim in December and January, the friendships from swimming carry us through the winter months in other activities on the tennis courts.

M: Tennis? Isn’t that Dr. Tiffany’s pastime?

P: Tennis involves team building as well as personal accomplishment. Hand-eye coordination and agility are developed in tennis, as well as mental focus and endurance. Local leagues, clinics and United States Tennis Association (USTA) leagues are great ways to enjoy healthy exercise year-round.

M: I’m a sports … fan. Isn’t that enough?

P: Physical activity provides more than just physical benefits: it boosts our state of mind and balances our emotions. Getting outside and getting moving expands mental awareness and stretches the body. Commitment to a team activity keeps us accountable to get out and participate.

M: I didn’t get what I wanted for Christmas this year.
What should I do?

P: Give yourself the gift of health and wellness. Join a club and
get moving.

A Story of Comfort | A Pawsitive Christmas

Peter’s daily nap took little effort on his part. The longer, cold nights combined with the shorter, slate gray days created a perfect environment for insomnia prevention. The regular sleeps, whether an afternoon siesta or night-long break from reality, gave some measure of relief from the constant heartache brought on by the memories. Since her passing, the holidays were always a difficult time, rendering the frequent, daily sleeps even more welcome and, perhaps, more necessary. The onset of her illness was unidentifiable, but its discovery was certainly no cause for thanksgiving. To say the holiday was stigmatized in Peter’s heart was the most drastic understatement imaginable. What he found most

Santa: Claude – Bella Fella

A True Story by Matthew Wynn The eight-year-old approached me. He was angry. Balled fists. Wide eyes. Pinched lips. “Santa Claus is a fraud,” he said. “Oh,” I replied, “is that a fact? Well, then who leaves those presents under the tree that say ‘from Santa’?” He paused, seemed to roll the question around in his head a few times then blurted out, “It was probably Mrs. Claus. She probably does all the work and she doesn’t get any credit.” True story kid. Just not in the way you think. But he got me thinking, what do you say, these days, when an eight-year-old asks you about Saint Nick? What

An Interview with Dexter Quintin Price, November’s Mr. Bella

Have you ever met someone who was so cool that just by being in proximity to them you felt cool? They just seem to radiate this confidence that makes you feel like the best version of yourself. You laugh a little harder, hold your head a little higher. And afterwards you look forward to seeing them again, but honestly, you’re a little intimidated by all of their incredible achievements, so you think to yourself, “I really need to get the ball rolling…” If you haven’t met someone like that, you should. You should meet Dexter Price. It all started 4 years ago, with the purchase of two used computers from

Gratefulness + Happiness

Happiness is not getting everything you want; rather it’s being grateful for what you have. The Aiken characteristic for the month of November is gratefulness. As Thanksgiving approaches, there is heightened attention to thankfulness and expressing the things we are grateful for. Gratefulness is the key to happiness, and humility is the key to peace. Gratefulness is self-less. It’s related to love and peace, and achieving it takes awareness and understanding. There is someone I wanted to recognize this month for gratefulness as I have witnessed her exhibiting gratefulness on numerous occasions through the authentic show of thankfulness, happiness, and appreciation in all she does.
