Health is the First Wealth

It used to be a good thing to have several A's on your report card. Today, not so much. My report card from LifeLabs has far too many A's this time. A's of course no longer mean Above Average; they now mean Abnormal.

While it may be inevitable that my A's will increase with my age, it is disconcerting, particularly when I won't be able to see my doctor for another week! 

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said that 'health is the first wealth' and I need to increase my investment now! While, it is something I avoid thinking about most of the time, I know I need to invest time and effort and energy and money into maintaining and possibly improving my health. 

I already know the answers to this test - eat better, exercise more, stay positive, lose weight, sleep well, meditate, be moderate. I can write the test; I just can't live the test. The whack-a-mole of life defeats me each time. 

So my journey continues... But first I call the doctor's office and see if I can re-write the lab test before my next visit.  Stay tuned.
