*** _ This a.m., Friday, July 17, 2015 _" HAPPY MORNING", If you had a night that rested you, "wonderful", .........:) I posted this blog before , but I wanted to re-post it now. It's one of those things that bears repeating. Taking good care of the only "BODY" I have makes for a more " SECURE" future. We spend lots of time & energy on "making-a-living" , well, you can tell where I am headed with this statement, can't you ? Money & Health could be looked upon as an oxymoron. It may just defeat itself in the process. I suggest that living on less ( less is more) become a consideration. When all is said & done, "it-is-what-it-is" ! Which one will bring "REAL" success ?

We who live & breath "here & now" are doing so in an earthly body. Personally to me this IS the only body that makes my life enjoyable, all the way! I do so, (maintain & keep) this body by eating only what satisfies and fills me, never any more because, I just don't have the desire to. I rarely even get hungry, but I "absolutely" enjoy my food. Satisfaction is not a present day experience, but it IS one that I "enjoy" !! * It, ( this body) spent 22 years depressed, I am desperately "GRATEFUL", for what "I have accomplished !"

Having said that, I now also enjoy getting tired, because when I stop & slow down, this experience of resting my bones makes me "feel good". That sensation is new to me. Feeling good, not something I had very often in my life & didn't know it, "because", I never had that to begin with. You don't miss what you don't know!
So, walking day by day, often as far as 20 miles throughout the day, but usually only 5 miles or more. This practice ( by the way, this feels good too ), has helped me stay & actually be healthy while I was changing mentally & spiritually. Often, though when something came up that did not feel good, I reminded myself, it's okay, because I am NOT my body. All the same I value and respect the one I have, well, folks, what are you going to do, it's the only one we are gonna get!
My notion is it was especially made for me anyway. I have gotten to know Oh yes, listen to what it says ( demands ) ! Astounding what I found out my body though! So, now, I "work together" with it and get along nicely. Very difficult task, awesomely difficult ! Neither one of us "boss" each other around, we collaborate. It is, indeed , a "marriage", but it works, if you work it! Our "mode of transportation" and it gets us around this planet while we are stationed here.........:).
Take command, never "bully it", it does not work ! Once again, LOVE IS , the answer...love & understanding !
