Health

For many reasons, I have been more conscious of good health lately: I appreciate my good health physical and mental. On Monday, I met some new tennis players who commented that I hit the ball hard and noticed that I do not seem to have any injuries; it is true so far all my joints are pain free. No sore elbows, knees or shoulders and not torn muscles. Don't know if my peasant stock is saving me from these problems. Most of my tennis buddies have complaints or have had to stop playing.

Yesterday, I went to a workshop about getting your written work published. I have managed to have a number of articles published and was actually paid for one. I must keep working at it and hope that I will be able to have more work completed and get paid. During one of the breaks at the workshop, I spoke to some of the people at my table and was surprised at their comments about aches, pains, headaches. Now one of them should be examining her diet: potato chips, chocolate milk and a muffin a meal do not make. I think that Country Style donuts offered a bagel which would have been better for her. The chocolate milk was probably not too bad but there are better choices.

After all is said and done, we must all do all we can to maintain good physical and mental health. Some problems are not of our making but others might be avoided with care.
Enjoy your health and do everything you can to maintain it.
