Hi I can't say that growing old is wonderful in our case. If one is not reallyhealthy , and in good physical shape , it can get yuo down. It seems taht one thing afetr another happens and no matter how hard one treis to get better , something else comes a long to bring ones spirits down again. At least I'm alive and doing the best I can...keepin busy and active is good for all concerned...M

EXCELLENT ADVICE ENCASED IN A FINE POETIC PIECE. THANKS FOR SHARING AND BLESSINGS. JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Once again, wise advice. I can't remember the last time I had fast food. My weakness is chocolate, which is good in moderation because it's an anti-toxidant. Now...if only I can master the moderation part...lol. You're right, too. Bad foods make a body feel like a slug. I saw a special on fast food studies. Some guy ate at McDonald's every meal, everyday for a month. In that time his health declined greatly; he gained weight and he had no energy. Well done, Jeanette. Love and Hugs,
Sheila

Jeanette,
No truer words have been spoken. I must regroup and go back to my healthy lifestyle of eating what is good for me. Sometimes we tend to punish ourselves and deceive our minds into thinking that chocolate cake is actually good for you.. Well there are some good things about chocolate cake, but as a metaphor, it is enticing, delicious and habit forming...I can only think of one good thing that should have these qualities and that could be considered x-rated! lol
Anyway, thanks for the food for thought, wonderful poem.
Peace, love, and light,
Amber "V"

Good write Jeanette and I do hear you my friend. However, having looked death in the face several times over the years, I soon realized that all we are guaranteed is this very moment. One day, most of us will end up in a hospital or a nursing home, and we will be knocking on Heaven's door. When that happens to me, I want to be able to say that I am there because I enjoyed the ride God granted me and had nothing but the best of what He had to offer. I can't imagine myself in a bed somewhere knowing that I might be dying of nothing but a good, healthy balanced diet. As far as exercise goes, that is a must of course. And really, I do eat a balanced diet. Usually after dinner every other day, following my after dinner cigarette, I make sure I wash down my 12 ounce Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate bar with a 12 fluid ounce can of Sam's Choice Keg Style, Caffeine Free Root Beer. Now that's what I call health food. Dark Chocolate is a must; none of that Milk Chocolate for this guy. That stuff will kill ya for certain. Well said and written Jeanette. God bless and have a wonderful day.

Good advice here, Jeanette; well done! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours; may it be full of God's blessings, health, family, and happiness!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D X0X0X0
