 Pondering the Past, the Present, the Possible         

               ...a balanced approach to healthy living.      Live well, Love well
Balance is the key to leading a healthy and positive life. We must balance our lives in many ways; our jobs, our families, our relationships, our physical and emotional well being. If we lack balance in any area of our life, that imbalance will show up somewhere, negatively. Thanks to the insistence and support of my two sisters, April and Suzette, I enrolled in The Landmark Forum, a powerful seminar that changed the course of my life. I am grateful to them and I too share the Forum with many others I care about. Nutrition: Eat right. It's just too damn easy not to though. I have been diagnosed with Type II Diabetes so balance is crucial. I try to feed my body, not my appetite. Food is fuel and although we can at times eat for sheer pleasure (like at the Sushi Bar), we should strive for balanced nutrition.

CreativityCreate, Create, Create. Draw, sing, write. Activities such as these keep us healthy and alert. We all work, we all play. It is also important to keep in touch with our creative child regardless of what the activity might be. Find a hobby. Everyone can color or draw or write poetry. It's true! Do it! Do it often and regularly. Write in a journal everyday. It will improve your outlook. I love doing charcoal drawings. I love drawing animals, but my favorite subject is drawing the human figure. I also love building computers, especially high performance fire-breathing machines with lots of memory and high performance processors. "Dude, I ain't gettin' no Dell"!

Exercise Vigorous and frequent. Exercise is the basis for well being. Without exercise, I really founder and my over-all wellness suffers. I continue to learn that for me, exercise a crucial component of the overall equation. It should become part of everyday living. Too often people look at it as a chore (I know I have), not as a pleasurable time out from the other things they do. It's body play. It burns calories, reduces stress, burns fat, and strengthens the heart.

Massage is a great way to loosen up, locate tight areas, promote well being. I love a deep massage especially after vigorous exercise. If you visit the Buffalo area, contact  Roth&Roth at (716) 564-1313.  Treat yourself to a deep massage soon. You deserve it!
