Handbook For Life 2013

This is an interesting list of things to do to make 2013 a healthy year, and to make the rest of your life pretty healthy as well. This comes from a site called Prana (Women, Men, Life).

I would love to read more books than I did in 2012, but I am not sure that is physically possible. However, I will try.
