We are so consumed with not so great health-related news at work like our dear Crafty Queen Becky who has had cancer revisit her again...and now another full-of-life person Mary in bookings who has discovered that her heart is not pumping blood to the full capacity. Life just dishes out so much crap sometimes!!
I should be thankful that health is still good for us all...except that Darcy could be better but he needs to work on losing some weight and eating less of the good food that we do serve.
But back to Becky...if someone can warm your heart and be the quintessential person of inspiration and kindness, I think she wins. Her craftiness is phenomenal...I think Kari and I were undoubtedly inspired by her when we embarked on our Crafty Neighbours adventure. Becky is an icon in Port Moody of beautiful, quality country crafts! She has battled so many variations of cancer but this time we sort of know that it will catch up to her...it is sad :( but she has so much love from so many whose lives have been touched by her.
Health...so critical as it determines the quality of today and tomorrow for us all...so important to maintain a lifestyle that keeps us healthy in body, mind and spirt...comes back to working on my personal goals. With mum being a cancer survivor, I guess I am considered at risk...well, Joanne drags me to my mammogram for the last 2 years and bribes me with all-you-can-eat sushi lunch so I should be thnakful for her doing that! Ah Mah died from late-onset diabetes and since I supposedly resemble her guess thats another notch against me...and there's heart disease with Dad having had his quadruple by-pass...goodness me...I really have alot of work for me to maintain disease-free! Caiti made me go to the Blood Pressure Clinic at Dogwood and according to it I am classified as high-normal...whatever that means.
Very sad about your friend Becky. It often takes illness in someone close to have you look at your own health.
ReplyDeleteI try to eat "heart healthy" and stay away from unhealthy eating but I'm not fanatical and I have my indulgences!
