 Good Health


The blessing of good health:
More than just the absence of disease;
More than simply feeling good for my age.

The blessing of good health:
Worth more than mountains of knowledge;
Worth more than the abundance of riches.

The blessing of good health:
Vigorously brushing away the rust,
Keeping the machine well oiled with nutrients.

The blessing of good health:
Sweating in active pursuit of my limits,
Not settling for just good enough.

The blessing of good health:
The triangle brings us opportunity;
Nutrition, strength training, cardiovascular training.

The blessing of good health:
Building this triangle on a foundation of balance;
Mind, body, spirit unified with purity of soul.

The blessing of good health:
Expanding my vision of what is possible;
Believing that I can thrive and grow.

The blessing of good health:
When my last days draw near I will know,
I have taken care of the vessel of my soul.
