You may not remember the last time you did some deep knee bends, at least not intentionally! After all, your knees aren’t quite as young as they used to be.

At this time of year, we’re full of anticipation, hope for tomorrow, brought about by the glimmers of kindness we see everywhere. For some we invite Christmas in with falling snow and fireplaces aglow.
