Life's little lessons

I am learning to listen, listen to my heart, my soul and most importantly listen to my body.

Years ago on the Oprah show (yes I am a huge fan), Oprah told everyone to give themselves a birthday gift and get a health check-up each birthday. I have been trying to follow this advice but with occasional degrees of success and failure.

This year turning 45, I was determined to get the whole lot checked and also a few niggling tummy discomfit issues. Anyway yesterday I had a CT scan of abdomen and pelvis and a few minor issues have appeared. Will need some further tests to determine a more detailed result, but it is obviously something that I had to do. Oh boy, am I glad that I took the time to listen.

I am so glad that I am learning to listen to my body, listen to what I need to live to my dream age of 101 and to live as healthily as I can.

My message to everyone is if you suspect that you need to do something about your health, your psyche, your soul or your mind. Don't leave it until tomorrow, do it today.

Wishing you all good health.
