Attitude (author unknown)
[Some of you may recognize this from the other online support groups. I like it well enough to post the whole thing as a quote.] Attitude (author unknown) There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed that she only had three hairs on her head. "Well," she said, "I think I'll briad my hair today." So she did and she had a wonderful day. The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she only had two hairs on her head. "Hmmmmm," she said, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle today." So, she did and she had a grand day. The next day she woke up, looked into the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. "Well," she said, "today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail." So, she did, and she had a fun, fun day. The next day she woke up, looked into the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head. "YAY!" she exclaimed. "I don't have to fix my hair today!" Attitude is everthing. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly ..... Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass ..... it's about learning to dance in the rain. |

Get Moving
Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it. ~Plato |
Seek Exuberance in Living
As a people, we have become obsessed with Health. There is something fundamentally, radically unhealthy about all this. We do not seem to be seeking more exuberance in living as much as staving off failure, putting off dying. We have lost all confidence in the human body. ~Lewis Thomas, The Medusa and the Snail, 1979 |
Preserving health
"The trouble with always trying to preserve the health of the body is that it is so difficult to do without destroying the health of the mind." ~G.K. Chesterton http://www.quotegarden.com/health.html |
Six months to live
Nature
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
