Here's to good health!

Breath and smile ~ it is a brand new day!
Good health is laughing out loud and saying goodbye to stress.
Be sure to drink plenty of water
Buy wholesome foods and include plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Be sure to get your beauty sleep.

Life seems to be really busy from the time we wake up until we go to bed at night.
We need to have a new attitude to our lifestyle, one that incorporates healthy living, healthy eating and a sensible commitment to exercise.
A few minutes of relaxation on a daily basis, maybe yoga, makes for a healthy mind and body.

Living life with verve everyday, is what I want to do.

I hope that your week is great, so far.
Hugs
Carolyn

  7. Lovely photos to brighten my day. Love the first photo, is it Audrey Hepburn? She was soo beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. I'm ok with the good food, but have a problem with the exercise, more of a sit around person you know. Well we can't all be perfect can we?!!!Tee Hee!!

  9. I so agree with you and that's what my Chiro said today...slow down and enjoy the journey, because that's what life is a journey.

    I just adore the first photo of Audrey and the puppy, what an amazing lady she was.

  14. We all need a gentle reminder now and then about "LIVing" a healthy life!!
    Love the delightful photo of Audrey Hepburn - and doesn't she just ooze healthy lifestyle.
    My failing is not drinking enough water - and the days I do remember to, I feel so much better!
    The food market looks very French to me!!

  15. I don't we've ever eaten better since we started MOTH's No Fat Ever Again diet Carolyn. But gosh, it's emptying out my wallet at a fast rate. Thats the silly thing isn't it, the unhealthy stuff is cheap as chips & easy & fast & the good stuff is expensive & takes thought & prep. time. Still I love your positive attitude toward health & well being!

  33. Hi Carolyn, Oh this post is so inspiring and makes one want to be alert to better health all the time. I love your pics and especially like, what looks like a pot of lavender at the end of the bed. Now that would enhance sweet sleep!!
    You are so right. We get so busy and it is easy to get off track. I try and swim laps everyday and eat right. I can so see the difference too.
    Thank you for sharing this wonderful post.

    Have a great weekend. I will be taking a little vacation and see you when I return hopefully with lots of fun pics to share.
    Hugs and blessings to you,
