HI Honey....here is someone else like you...all healthy and such...sorry my love.
So, so sorry.
day, very limber, very active, took all supplements suggested by her doctor, never went in the sun without sunscreen and when she did it was for as short a period as possible- so pretty much she protected her health with the utmost that anyone could. She is now 76 and has skin cancer, bone marrow cancer and extreme osteoporosis. My friend's father eats bacon on top of bacon, butter on top of butter, fat on top of fat, never and I mean never exercised, was out in the sun burnt to a crisp every summer, he basically took the approach to live life to his fullest and not as others suggest. He is 81 and the doctors says his health is that of a young person. People you cannot hide from your poison. It's out there and it will find you so in the words of my friend's still living mother: " if I would have known my life would end this way I would have lived it more to the fullest enjoying everything I was told not to!" None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Eat the delicious food. Walk in the sunshine. Jump in the ocean. Say the truth that you’re carrying in your heart like hidden treasure. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. There’s no time for anything else.".
Wow! I have to say that I have come to agree with this philosophy after watching the lives of the people around me ~ ~ but it's also quite sobering. My doctor and I are always in the process of finding the quality of life options and knowing when to put something down that steals the good days. I do believe we should live today to its fullest potential ~ ~ whatever that looks like. May your today be a full and blessed one!!
ReplyDeleteI try to have a balance of health and enjoyment, I walk in the sun but wear a hat, I eat good healthy food because I enjoy it, I drink alcohol but only the good stuff, and I'm thankful for every day. Oh also I'm quite good at being silly and weird :)
