How we approach what comes at us affects the impact. We can't control everything that happens around us and to us and the people we love. We CAN control how we respond and how we prepare.
A strong mind, body and spirit is always helpful, and supports dealing with the slings and arrows we encounter every day.
It is never too late, nor too early to start, but if we don't take proactive measures to optimize our health, we will see a shortened healthspan.
Thanksgiving Day has so many special aspects that highlight how much we have to be grateful for. You get to pick your focus- family, friends, football, feast, foliage and so much more. It is easy to get swept up in the planning, or to feel sadness if something from the past is no more- Taking a few moments to get quiet, and focus on what is going right can turn that around.
