September 11, 2018 at 2:27 pmI like the idea of having a relaxation room in your house. I do have a spare bedroom in my house but I usually just use it for guests. Maybe I should give it a second purpose.

September 11, 2018 at 4:20 pmI think firstly mental health is something that need to be looked at earlier than 50+, it would assist in making better choices later on. Hence the preparedness, if your mind is prepared your life will be too.
