-- TO MY FRIENDS --
We are in the season again of sudden and dramatic fluctuations in the weather.
Let's keep a close tab on our health and remind our friends as well
to take the necessary steps to avoid catching a cold or any other sickness.
Together, let's advance, keeping "our good health" as our top priority!
