Thinking about health

7/5/2009

I'm sitting in the hospital right now writing this. I have pneumonia and a touh of broncitis. No fun at all. Yep, that's right. I got to see the fireworks of our nation's 233rd birthday from the window of a hospital room. Yea!

In a conversation with my lovely bride, I came to realize just how important life really is. And if life is truly important, then all who are living should do everything within their power to stay healthy and strong. And such a simple thing that really is. Eat right and get some exercise. That's really it. Eat in moderation avoiding high cholesteral and salty items. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables every day. And at least get out and walk often for at least 20 minutes every day. Visit a doctor regularly and a dentist at east twice a year. That's it.

If you get sick, it will be because some virus or some concer has hit you. And you can't do much about stopping those things. But the simple things listed above can keep blood pressure down, blood-sugar down, heart and muscles stay strong, and your attitude stays positive.

Oh, I know someone reading this may think I'm just a polyana. And maybe I am. But what's wrong with that. I'm sixty-four. I love life and I want to stay around a long enough to see my daughter graduate from law school. To see my son build a huge business enterprise. And to see my grandson graduate from college. Are those too much to ask?

Life really is too precious to take for granted. And the people who love us should never be discounted by not taking care of yourself. And, of course, I'm preaching to myself. But, isn't that what a blog is all about? At least these are some things worth thinking (or maybe medtating) about.
