&lt;p&gt;This is the time of year when it&amp;rsquo;s easy to feel &amp;ldquo;down&amp;rdquo; with the weather.  Christmas is over and all the bright lights, Christmas trees, get-togethers,  and festivities of the season have come to an end.  The freezing winter temperatures have descended upon us and it&amp;rsquo;s only January.  Winter is a challenging time for getting around especially for those of us who are Senior Citizens.  We worry about slipping and falling, getting the flu, shovelling the snow, not to mention all those layers of clothing we have to put on to even go outside.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
