Living your life healthfully

Here we are, 4th chemo done, where the 2nd cycle truly begins.   The doctors were happy that my platelet counts never dropped, and everything remained where it should be, except even better then remaining where it was, my CA125 levels (blood tumor markers) have returned to "normal levels".    All great news!  

With all this I've been reading a lot about what it means to live "healthfully".  One definition that I've come across, and added to a bit myself is below:

To live healthfully in body, mind, and spirit and make vibrant health a way of life,  we 
must incorporate the following:   
  * embrace a natural-foods raw vegan diet (as much as possible)
  * get enough sleep
  * use natural remedies as much as possible
  * exercise frequently
  * drink ample purified water
  * keep stress levels down
  * spend time in nature
  * breathe deeply 
  * meditate on His word and invite Him to be part of your life 
  * cultivate an attitude of gratitude -offer thanksgiving for everything you have!!!

---------------
Consider the above list, try to figure out what one change you can make in your life next week from the list above.    The following week, choose one more thing and make the change.   Even if it means just beginning to breath deeply.   It is a start.

Love to you all,
Renee
