I don’t know what it’s like where you live, but this is some
crazy weather we’re having here in Texas. Freezing one day, pool worthy weather
the next, then it’s back to freezing. What does this have to do with writing?
Where do I start?
As I move forward in my life as a published author, and no
matter what the day may bring, there’s one constant. If I’m not healthy, I can’t
function. This is true in any profession. So forgive me if I climb up on my
soapbox and preach the word according to Jeanne.
If you’ve been reading my posts, you’ll know I’ve had a lot
going on in my life lately; most important is the birth of my 10th
grandbaby, Isabelle. What you may not know is that she’s living in my house so
I get to see her every day. Here’s where my health comes into issue. I wasn’t
current on all my shots. So, like a good Mimi (You should already know I’m too
young to be called grandma) I went and got a booster. If you haven’t guessed,
it made me sick. I’ve gone 4 days without holding my little Peanut and I’m in withdrawal.
Call it boredom from being in bed most of the weekend, but I
had a lot of time to think about my body and what I’ve been doing to it throughout
my 38 years. (again, if you know me, you know that I’ve been 38 for years now)So, I’ve challenged myself, and I’m challenging you as well, to take care of you.
I’ve covered my mind-set by re-vamping my office. (It’s
done by the way and lacking distractions once again. Or at least I hope so. Wish me luck.)
Next is taking care of my health. I already have a chiropractor that I see once a month. The Doc has kept me together for going on 7 years and I can’t thank him enough. Whatever your profession demands of you, I recommend getting an adjustment.
You’ll thank me
for it in the end.
I also recommend getting a yearly physical. Don’t be afraid of what the test results say. It’s better to know in advance what ails you and what you need to do to correct it. Eat right. Snack healthy. Exercise regularly. Most important, take care of YOU!
Okay, I’m climbing down again. I’m off to get a little
writing done before heading out to get my Mammies Grammed. What are you going
to do today?
Jeanne! I believe the 38 is right. You look younger than that!! Congrats on the new grandbaby. I get how you hate to be away from her.
ReplyDeleteYou're sooo right. We have to take ownership of our health. Have those annoying tests done and do them on time! Great reminder. Feel better soon!
Gorgeous Grandbaby! Good job on those shots. Hope you're feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Jerrie, Jeanne! No problem believing the 38 or less! You're right about taking care of ourselves. I went out to mall to walk today and tomorrow will do Pilates. Will lose one Pilates day a week during the summer when I keep two of my grands. Hoping running after them will help balance out. Glad I get to do it. You get well real soon.
ReplyDeleteLovely area by the way. Have a good one!
