In the beginning of January we all think about our lofty resolutions and how<br />
we are going to make ourselves better. We hope that with every issue of<br />
<strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Indiana</strong> <strong>Living</strong> magazine we make your life a little bit better, even<br />
if it is in a very small way.<br />
But this issue, especially, is devoted to making your health better. <strong>Living</strong> a good<br />
life is directly tied to being healthy. The healthier we are the better we feel. In this<br />
issue we’ve uncovered some people doing great things to make <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Indiana</strong><br />
healthier and we’re excited to share their stories.<br />
Natalie Allen gets kids moving and learning about health with Stretch-n-Grow.<br />
The Floyd Memorial Hospital Healthier Community Initiative helps people of<br />
all ages battle poor eating habits, exercise more and quit smoking. We have tips<br />
on healthy business practices, a unique look into pharmacy practices with two of<br />
the best pharmacies in the area, and several area residents talk about the benefts<br />
of senior citizen ftness.<br />
And if you’re planning a wedding in <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Indiana</strong> this year, now is crunch<br />
time! We have got you covered, with tips from a local photographer, a travel<br />
agent and a listing of some of the best non-church wedding venues.<br />
We have some New Year’s resolutions of our own, mainly to continue to make a<br />
better and better magazine for all of you!<br />
To health!<br />
