Monday 3/22/2010 - Being Present in The Momment: Maintaining Wellness



My Philosophy:
Learn From Every Experience
Reflect on Yesterday
Live in The Momment and Make the Most of It
Plan for Tomorrow, but don't Obsess About It
Pray for Guidance Daily!

My Goal:
Grow a Little Every Day
...clothing size does not apply here:-)

For Today...
Take care of your mind and body with regular maintenance checks and "tune-ups".
Get preventative tests as per medical guidelines... better to nip weeds before they germinate!
Search for the right "fit" regarding your chosen health care providers, there is nothing better than a health care provider who is actively invested in your wellbeing!
Identify people in your life who keep you real...meaning, they leave the sugar coating at the curb and feed it to you raw, bitter taste and all! I am truly blessed with a wonderful woman in my life who does this for me. I call her on good days, on bad days, just because... I call her when I am uncertain or when I feel strongly about situations... I can always count on her to give me honest and direct feedback. I appreciate her straight forwrad nature. Like Jack's beans, our relationship has sprouted, grown and become much stronger over a lifetime... providing a grounded path to a whole new level... I thank God for my mother!

Book Review

I just finished this book today. It was an easy and fun read. The elderly always make me smile... I like their stories...I respect their mannerisms. They have seen so much throughout their lifetime... They have "been there and done that"... In my experience...people commonly have less "filtering" the older we get, becoming much more direct... open... straight to the point... I love this type of raw human nature...it is simply refreshing! The woman who interviews the "Centenarians" does a program for "National Public Radio (NPR)" and initially doesn't have much experience with the elderly. It is fun to watch her geriatric insight sprout and bloom paralleled with the "Centenarian" stories of the past and the present. My interest is further peaked by a reference book the author mentions, "A General Theory of Love". I plan to add it to my library list...it focuses on "the biological basis for human emotions...love". ...

Last Days

Watching "spiritual-mind" and "physical-body" become dismembered Bearing witness to human mortality Understanding the "Raw Nature" of the phases one progresses through to come to an end Holding Vigil Staying Near Professing Love Resolving Conflicts Honoring Wishes Providing Comfort Sleepless Nights...Days...Weeks A Family drawn together... a family supporting each other...working, eating, sleeping and crying together to make Dad's "Last Days" all that they should be Understanding Finding Peace Within Letting Go...
