Character Quality for the week of May 6 – May 10: Courage vs. Fear

Courage – Fulfilling my responsibilities in spite of being afraid.

Health Tip of the Week:  Get a Good Night’s Sleep – Two of the biggest barriers to a good night’s sleep is too much caffeine and screen (TV, Computer, Cellphone) time in the evening hours.  We know how important sleep is to help out bodies function correctly, so cut out the soda and turn off the electronics before bed.
