What Do You Care

How do you care for yourself? Get plenty of sleep, exercise regularly, eat your veggies and drink responsibility? What do you feel like when you wake up?

No matter all the poking and prodding and esteemed physicians and diagnostics, you know your body better than anyone else on this planet.

You can reference all the Internet options and various fixes and listen to the TV prognosticators with some new pill or potion that will cure everything from diarrhea to a lacking love life.

You can spend hours and $ waiting for 15-minutes with a person in a white lab coat with frames on the wall claiming knowledge to be told how you feel.

You know when it is cloudy and rainy and cold you don’t feel good. You know when you are sitting in the sand listening to the ocean under a bright sun you feel great.

You also know after you ate that delivered pizza washed down by a six-pack while watching some late night movie your pants don’t fit in the morning.

You can worry about all the aches and pains as you grow older or you can accept it as your body telling you to slow down.

Now those fine folks that will cart you off the street and patch you up when you are bloody and broken are well worth the price because who else is going to do it?  If you take all the pills and illogically it makes you feel better, it pays for itself. If Aunt Sallie’s chicken soup makes you feel better when you are laid up, then it is worth the cure.

All I’m saying is if you worry about that bum knee or become obsessed by that bump on your neck or become compulsive about following your medical regiment, you maybe missing the point.

You go around once on this carousal. When a child is playing and falls down, they don’t want to stop playing. Get up, shake it off, put on a band-aid (if necessary) or rub some dirt in it and go on with the game of life.

Take care.
