"Wellness is health in mind, body, and spirit. It is much more than just not being sick.
Wellness means feeling good; taking care of your body; and liking yourself, your family, and friends.
Wellness also means making the most of what you have, being hopeful in good times and bad, and living your life in the most satisfying way possible."
