You have probably heard of the term 'wellness', but what does it mean to you? In my mind it's a 'package' made up of spiritual well-being, mental and general health of the body. It is not just the absence of a disease, but a decision to daily adopt positive lifestyle choices to eliminate health risks. Step-by-step is the only way to reap enormous benefits. Try to think about this on a daily basis and it will become second nature. Have fun experimenting and learning.
Wise words from 365 Prescriptions for the Soul - Bernie Siegal
"Life is a series of beginnings,
the changes, losses, illnesses and
afflictions are not endings, but beginnings. We are changed
and have to start a new life each time."

FABULICIOUS on a hot Cape Town summer day with a slice of rye topped with hummus! I also added some chopped chillies to the soup.
Today I am grateful for;
- chillies - just luv adding them to everything I eat
- the new season of The Mentalist
- pencils - I find it so comforting to write with an old fashioned HB pencil (Weirdo!!!)
- My 15 minute walk to get rid of 'computer fatigue' and collect my dosage of Vitamin D
Today, laugh, order pudding, love life, have no regrets and make a conscious effort to choose health behaviours that contribute positively to your 'wellness' .........
Peace 'n whirlpools of luv
