Rambling thoughts

Yesterday in the pre-op seminar that my surgeon has her patients attend, the psychologist was saying that we need to start treating our bodies like we own them. Not like we rent them. Her example was that when you rent a house, if you get a crack in the wall, you shove a chair up against the crack and forget about it until you move out. When you own the house, you head to Home Depot, buy spackling compound and paint and fix the crack. This is so true. I have to keep reminding myself that I own my body, I'm not renting it and I need to take care of it accordingly. My buddy Michelle sent me a quote today that I've never seen before, but it fits me to a T. I wonder where I can get it put on a poster. "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming----wow----what a ride!!!"

I too would rather wear out than rust out, but there is no sense in putting on unnecessary "miles"! Joy (3/1)

I've never heard that either... but I like it! If you find a poster let me know

Fantastic quote Connie, I'll have to remember that one!!!!!! Whitney
