Happy Holidays are Made from Happy Memories

Pam Shaw will join me this evening as we look at creating the happiest holiday seasons for all. Pam always gets us thinking in positive lights, and usually with a laugh or two thrown in for good measure.

Remember the excitement that Christmas morning you woke up to find Santa had left your first Make & Bake Oven, or Patty Play Pal, or GI Joe? It is those moments that make holidays so special to us all these years later. My Thumbelina doll is long gone, but my love of that toy stays with me. We all have such memories, and this is the perfect time to pull them off the back burner and help them make your current holidays happy, healthy, and a time for peace. Please join us with your memories. All are welcome!

I know the Accessible Pharmacy Health Fair has kept many of you busy today, but it would be very much appreciated if you could stop in at VISAbilities tonight with any tips and tricks you have learned with regard to diabetes. I have some listeners and participants who have particular interests in the accessibility of continual glucose monitoring systems and easily digestive foods.
This is absolutely not a medical call, but just a time to share experiences you have found helpful.
Thank you very much for your participation. Kind Regards,

Terry Pacheco
