Welcome to September

We've made it to my birthday month, and all I hear is the Earth, Wind & Fire song September. This was the closer of their live set and brought the house down. Then, Lionel Richie had us dancing on the ceiling. I was sad to read about Lionel and another "health event" that landed him in the ICU. Sucks getting old.

But it doesn't have to suck. We've all seen people several decades older than us who are spry and vital and can run circles around us. We've also seen people far younger than us using those motorized scooters at Walmart. 

I heard a great quote the other day and immediately began sharing it:

Sadly, I was one of the ones who waited until after a diagnosis to get serious about my health. It was a fun ride while it lasted, but I was headed for an early grave. 

Now that doesn't mean that I'm Mr. Strictly Healthy all the time. I still don't work out regularly. I still eat some things I know aren't the best for me. I'm consistent with some habits and more lax with other ones (meditation). I suppose this is the ethos of Be Wellthy. What good is getting healthy if life sucks? So, you want to move along the path of better health while enjoying yourself along the way.
