Yeah, I know that’s not how you spell healthier but I wanted to get your attention. So mostly this blog is about books–mine and others as well. I’ve decided to add a new feature, HEALTHY-ER. I change things up here from time to time by trying new things to see what interests people and I’m doing it again.
So you may or may not know that I was diagnosed with brain tumors in 2012. Thankfully, they were benign meaning not cancerous but they weren’t benign meaning harmless. Someone asked me yesterday how I was doing. My response was that I would never be quite as healthy as I was before the tumors but I was doing the best I could under the circumstances.
Doing the best I can means working on getting healthy-er. Get it? I won’t ever be completely healthy but I can work on getting healthy-er. Thus the title of this blog post.
I know I’m not alone. Just in my own family, there are so many of us who have some type of chronic health condition that affects us on a daily basis. Not to mention getting older brings its own set of problems as well-even if you don’t have any specific health problems.
It seems to me there are two choices: do nothing or do something!
I really believe in the philosophy of the more you do the more you can do; the less you do the less you can do. So…I keep on exercising in the hopes that it will improve my ability to “do more” in my everyday life.
I have to say I’m a lot healthier than I was last year at this time when I finally finished the treatments for my brain tumors for the foreseeable future, but I’m still frustrated that I can’t do more physically, like shopping and sightseeing. You know–all the fun things!
Anyway, I want to share some of my health struggles with you and what I do about them to encourage others to keep trying. I also plan to bring you some useful tips from time to time that I come across as I keep trying to get healthy-er.
YOUR TURN: How about you? Do you agree with the philosophy of the more you do, the more you can do? If not, what’s your philosophy regarding your health issues?
GOD BLESS & GOOD READING

I think you’re right, Pam. It’s all about the attitude.
Lillian, I’m currently doing daily PT for a knee injury and am finding my over-all strength to be improving. Thank God. I pray all goes well for you. Cheers
That’s great. So glad. I exercise 5-6 times every week–almost every day. I know it must be helping but sometijmes it doesn’t feel like it.
You are right. One either does something or nothing. As for the more you do, the more you can and will do, I think has a lot to do with attitude, motivation and inner strength, and for some that means faith. Many times I became discouraged and thought, “I’ll never get any better than I am now. This is it,” and yet five years after viral pericarditis I am better. Thanks for sharing your tips. I know many will benefit.
Be blessed,
Pam
