Thought for the day

This summer, one of my goals is to listen more to my body.  i don't really do that a lot.  i tend to ignore the pain or problem and just work through it.  But, the older i get, i realize that is not always the wisest way to handle things.  i do have some body and health goals set for myself and i know that i can achieve them.  i just have to keep reminding myself of the things that are important.  i am keeping those goals to myself for the moment because i do not want to set myself up for failure in the eyes of other people.  i will post updates from time to time once i feel more comfortable and feel that i am on my way to achieving those goals.

One of the main reasons, besides overall health, is the fact that being unhealthy can be pretty damn expensive. i have had problems with my teeth my entire adult life that stemmed from poor oral hygiene as a child.  i don't think that i have any cavities at the moment, but do have some gum issues.  i really could use a good visit to the dentist, but when you're on a very tight budget, that is not usually an option.  And dental insurance is one of the biggest scams that there is!  So, i will be resorted to looking online for natural ways to work on these.  and i'm sure once i am on my way with the health goals, things will improve.

Luckily, i do get insurance through the university.  That's a blessing!  When i left Pepper Moon Catering, the amount of money it would have cost to continue with the insurance i had there was ridiculous.  Through college, i can get a year's worth of coverage for what it would have cost me for only 2 months of that....and that's with the same insurance company!!  i just don't get it.  Well, i do get it.  Healthcare is one of the last vital thriving businesses in this country and so, of course it's expensive.  But that's a blog for another day!

Anyway, things will change for me this summer.  No matter where life's journey takes me...i plan on being a much healthier person while i take that journey.  That is all.

Cheers
