This is something that I always wish every new married couple and have for decades. Perhaps it has always been my mantra, something that I strive to achieve. I have been blessed with love in my life, plenty of laughter and happiness with some sad mixed in (the good with the bad right?) but it makes me who am I and shapes me as tides shape the shoreline. Health is something we think we have, or pray we have. I am actively trying to focus on my health because as I've hit 52, I realize that it's health that will afford me to continue to live, laugh and love!
At 52, I had no idea that wish I would have paid more attention to high school biology, though I firmly stand by the fact that I have never once needed the Pythagorean theorem in my adult life. We all start from a single cell and those cells divide and our human form develops; it is truly a miracle. Even more miraculous is that no matter how old we are today, these cells still know what they are supposed to be doing in our body to keep us alive and well some just need to be reminded as we have been afflicted with the Standard American Diet (SAD) and over-stressed and/or stimulated and our bodies need real assistance to find their balance. If you are tired, foggy, hurting and looking for the deep sleep we found in our teenage years. All of this is accessible and our health, our metabolic age can be reversed and supported long term.
My mom had been sick with cancer and in the months before she passed, we spent so much time talking. She made me promise that in life after she passed that I would live and make lasting memories with my son Noah (he was just seven). I realize what a true gift and another mantra I have is the realization that it's our love and memories that cloak us in comfort when we lose someone we love. There is no replacing them, but we must live and have them live on in us. By experiencing the world and making memories we spent more time as families sharing with one another and making those core connections and memories that will stay with us forever. Things are just things but the memories and love, they are cherished, and we hold them tight!
