"I am a star" hiker
How special to be part of the Women's Health Initiative. The annual questionnaire is a fine reminder to help us stay on track in our quest to lead a healthy and happy life-to eat carefully and to choose wisely in our daily activities. An important part of my life-long regimen is to enjoy the outdoors as much as possible, be it working in my garden a walk around a city park or a the treat of a trip to the mountains or seashore of our great state. I have been a codent down at the Davis Arboretetum for twenty years and a walk along the banks of Putah Creek to observe the fine collections f plants is a fest for the mind, body, and soul. My quilt square is a symbol of my experiences as an outdoorsy Californian and a way of life that I recommend for all women. It's very exciting to think that those of us who are participants are collectively contributing in a big way for future medical knowledge.
