H is for Health


Good health is more valuable than money and jewels
More precious than mansions with Olympic-sized pools,
Don’t worry so much that it makes you blue
Live each day mindfully and take care of you,
Good health means nurturing body and soul
Staying healthy should be a daily goal.

    Without our health, what else is there, right, Talya?

    Good health is such a precious commodity yet most people don't appreciate it until they no longer have it.

      It's very true. We do take it for granted until we don't have it. Thanks for dropping by, Kathy.

    YOu can deal with anything as long as you have health. Especially moms. Especially THIS mom who has been downed by a stomach virus.

      Sorry to hear you've been sick, Sandra. Moms aren't allowed to be sick. Hope you feel better soon and your good health returns

      Thanks for commenting, Corinne. Good health is so precious. I realize this more and more as I age. Thanks for the comment on the blog. I am learning more about the features and thought I'd simplify it a bit to make it look cleaner. Too cluttery before.

      For sure, Amy. Not something to take for granted, that's for sure. Thanks for stopping by.

    Oh, such good advice - says she, taking another swig from her can of (unhealthy) beer! But, apart from arthritis in my hip, I've been more fortunate than many of my aging peers who have had all kinds of health problems (and touch wood that isn't tempting fate!)

      I don't think an occasional beer can hurt, Paula. Good to hear you're in good health and aging well. Good for you! I am trying to do the same and don't take good health for granted the way I did in my youth when I ate badly and had erratic sleep routines. Can't do that anymore.

      Aw, thanks, Suzy. Glad you liked my little post. I'm having fun coming up with something each day for the challenge. I never know what I'll think of and that's what makes it such fun. Hope you're having fun with it, too, which I think you are.

#MicroblogMonday - Small Actions Do Make a Difference

Image
My family has a band made up of me on flute, my husband on bass clarinet, one son on tenor sax and the other on drums. We play music at the Presbyterian church we attend every third Sunday.  Our church congregation are a traditional, conservative bunch, not known for displaying too much emotion and often I assume that no one cares much if we play or not. Yesterday I was at a funeral for one of the members. A woman came up to me and told me how much she loves to see my sons perform and how the music just pours out of us. She always looks forward to the Sundays when we are performing and how much our music means to her. Her appreciation for our music reminded me that even small actions can have a big impact. It also reminded me that if someone does make a difference, it’s important to thank them and show your appreciation. Never assume that people know already as often they’re like me and don’t think that these small actions are a big deal. Never underestim...

#MondayMusings Acceptance of Loss and Change

This cartoon certainly touched a nerve this morning and triggered an outpouring of emotion that has evolved into this blog post. I sure miss my mom’s phone calls. That was our way of staying connected across the vast thousand mile distance between Ontario and Cape Breton.  My mom just loved to talk on the phone with friends and family, especially during the last few years of her life when she wasn’t as active anymore. She would come out to the sunroom, sit in her favourite chair (sometimes with an orange cat in her lap) and phone people. She used to put on the speaker phone which I never liked, but she found it easier and my dad could listen in, too. I used to tell her I wasn't a phone person and that I preferred email and Facebook are since I express myself best in writing.  What I wouldn't do for one of my mom’s phone calls now. Miss her every day. I'm adapting and going on, as one must do after losing a loved one, but life is defini...
