Walking-Hiking

What is your favorite form of physical exercise?

I’m one who enjoys a variety of yoga, Pilates or arobics as a daily epression of working out. But my absolute favorite form of physical excerise is opening the front door and walking up the sreet to stroll throughout the neighborhood. And, if I can walk on a clear crisp evening or under the early morning sky filled with stars that adds to the benefits of being outside.

This morning’s walk started out under very cloudy skies with a slight drizzle, but at 7:27am the sky began to clear as the sun rose.

There are many advantages to walking; it lessens anxiety, improves my sleep, builds immunity and boost creativity. I find walking threaputic if I’m designing a blog post. It’s where I do my most innovative thinking and crafting.

Stay strong,
Kathleen

Cruising for a Cause

After our return from Europe and the Middle East I began drafting several posts for Stylish Heath. One was written on October 5th highlighting our cruise on Royal Caribbeans’ ship “Rhapsody of the Sea” to sail the Mediterranean to Greece from Haifa. But, two days later war was declared in Israel and the post would have been in poor taste to publish.

Last week Tony sent an Instagram notice stating that U.S. commercial carriers had suspended flights in and out of Tel Aviv. American Airlines and Delta Air would suspend all flights for the next few months to and from Israel, while United has suspended flights indefinitely.

With a scarcity of flights, there are still hundreds of Americans trying to return to home. According to the article the State Department requested the assistance of Royal Caribbean’s “Rhapsody of the Seas” since it was at the Port of Haifa to sail families to Cyprus. From here they will arrange their own accommodation to the U.S.

This is what I would call cruising for a cause and an extremely good one I may add!!!
