Kelly’s son Anthony has Williams syndrome and autism. Williams syndrome is a genetic condition and characterized by medical problems, including cardiovascular disease,…

Tuesday I worked out this morning after work. I did some yoga to stretch and strengthen my back muscles. Then I did some full body strength training workouts and ran on the manual treadmill at my house. I felt refreshed and ready for the day. I fixed my family breakfast. We had scrambled eggs mixed with potato wedges, pancakes, and sausage.

The average life span of an American is 77.9 years, 75.4 years for males and 80.4 years for women.
