Keeping Texans healthy is very important, and the Texas Department of State Health Services encourages you to stay up to date with immunizations for you or your child during this unprecedented time of the COVID-19 pandemic.

I have heard my mom say many times that we should always make every day magical. I just thought that sounded like a fairytale thing, and I didn’t pay much attention until the other day. I was talking to my friend from college, and he was discussing how he had to come home from middle school and high school and do hours of chores and start dinner with his brother and sister. He said his mom didn’t believe in making a fuss over holidays or birthdays. She was no-nonsense and a very practical person. It was at that moment I began to realize just how magical my life had been.

Different people have different ways to decompress and just unwind after a long hard day or week. One way is not necessarily better than the other. Nowadays for me, I enjoy a good cup of coffee and playing games online with the friends I have made over the years or just watching a good movie - with my wife on one side and my dog on the other side.
