This picture pretty much sums up my existence. I love my job, but I need to be constantly aware of my health and well being. I think God gave me migraine headaches as thorn in my side like he gave to the apostle Paul, which gives me a healthy respect for the value of human life and a respect for and trust in an all powerful Creator. Lately I have been taking baths with dead sea salts, and trying to get more sleep so during the day I am as sharp and energetic as I can be. Also I am trying to “listen to my body” response to what I eat and put into it, to improve how I feel. Getting older sometimes is no fun, but I’m learning to treat my body kindly and exercising as often as I can. And one of these days I’m going to take a relaxing vacation on the Oregon coast, and enjoy life without computers, cell phones or digital cameras.
