Well, we did it! We rang in the New Year…but did we also ring in some not-so-good habits? Sitting here munching on my peanut brittle, I know I have.
I went looking for a little “encouragement” to help get back on the healthy living path. Thought you might enjoy some of these tidbits as well. : )
Doug Larson:
“Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon.”
Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields, What the River Knows, 1990:
“The best six doctors anywhere,
And no one can deny it,
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air,
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend,
If only you are willing.
Your mind they’ll ease.
Your will they’ll mend.
And charge you not a shilling.”
Rumer Godden :
“There is an Indian Belief that everyone is in a house of four rooms: A physical, a mental, an emotional and a spiritual. Most of us tend to live in one room most of the time, but unless we go into every room everyday, even if only to keep it aired, we are not complete.”
Meryl Streep :
“It’s bizarre that the produce manager is more important to my children’s health than the pediatrician.”
Ahh, enter in January, the month of New Year resolutions.
Perhaps it would be wise to consider including the “six doctors,” the vegetables, and the “four rooms” as we take pen to paper to scrawl out those New Year’s resolutions?
