Be Good To Yourself....Inside and Out!

I feel I have to reiterate this sentiment since I just lost someone who was a beautiful person on the outside, but neglected to take care of herself on the inside. As a result, she died an untimely death yesterday. All of her suffering could have been prevented had she been as careful about her body as she was about her appearance. She was a heavy smoker who, after one bout with cancer, still could not quit. She rarely, if ever, went to a doctor and ignored aches, pains, weight loss for no reason, and incessant coughing. Even after her second bout with cancer, she still looked for excuses not to take her medication and didn't eat properly. Being a diabetic, this was like playing Russian Roulette with her destiny and, unfortunately, she lost yesterday. Don't let this happen to you! Get your yearly check-ups and follow the doctors orders. Get your mammograms and your colonoscopies. Take a few hours out of your life to get a stress test and don't neglect your teeth either. Dental problems are sometimes an indication of a much greater health problem. Please, for the sake of those who love you (and we all have people who love us), take good care of yourself.
