Dear Red Hatters,

We Red Hatters always say "if it's not fun, we're not doing it!" And some of us (by no means all) haven't been in the habit of thinking that good health habits are necessarily fun. When we've come across information about staying healthy (exercising, eating right, etc.) we have tended to ignore it.

Don't you think it's time to stop and take off the blinders? Each of us has only one life! If we don't take steps to maximize our health we may well find our fun times cut short — and that would be SO not fun!

We are truly proud to unveil a brand new virtual health fair on our website, powered by Aetna! They have come up with many resources, just for us, to help us transform our attitudes — and our habits too. The Health Fair includes information about healthy eating, weight control, and other women's issues appropriate for all of us. It includes information about our changing bodies and makes us aware of facts we need to know if we want to make healthy, informed decisions about our lifestyles. Just pushing sixty or seventy (or any other age) may seem like enough exercise — but it's not!

Let's get ready to challenge and support each other to improve our fitness levels — as well as thinking and behaving - so that we can continue to have fun a lot longer - with a lot more gusto. We may be in a new chapter of our lives, but we still have the power to change our habits — and our attitudes. We absolutely do!

Let's begin with healthy living habits and exercise. (It's been said that "Those who do not find time for exercise will have to find time for illness.") Yikes! Let's start learning new "tricks!" - and have FUN doing it!

In friendship,
Sue Ellen and Debra
