What is “safe?” Is safe driving a car on I 75 with 80,000 pound trucks? Is safe gaining weight every year and never exercising? Is safe having a heart attack or a stroke because you don’t care for yourself as well as you do your dog? Close to a million people die a year from overeating and lack of exercise. These are the real killers. These are the real risky things people do everyday. It’s just not that noticeable. These people sit back, enjoy overeating, over drinking, and never exercising and they never wake up to the fact that they are slowly killing themselves. It’s time to accept the fact that many Villagers want to live a healthier lifestyle. You see them everyday. They are out riding their bicycles, jogging, walking, playing pickle ball, swimming, etc. This is a retirement community. Slow down when driving a car or golf cart. Yes, bicyclists, walkers, and joggers slow you down. Isn’t that good? Isn’t that why you retired? Courtesy all around would be nice this Holiday season and into the New Year. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
