Take a few minutes this holiday season to plan for a healthy holiday. This includes ways to keep yourself healthy so that you can continue to give and care for others. The holidays can create stress on many levels – emotional, physical, and even financial – and caregivers can experience additional stress because they feel that they are not doing enough (http://www.aasa.dshs.wa.gov).

Therefore, this year, take care of yourself and others by sharing the gift of good health with everyone.
