redefining healthy

A number of years ago I had the opportunity to redefine what it means to be healthy.  I thought I was healthy - thought I was making good choices about food and exercise.  But there was a little bump in the road, a side trip that I had to take, not down a terribly dark road but certainly one that I had not planned.
Now I find myself thinking about more about what it means to be healthy.  There are many numbers I watch, on the scale, on the measuring tape, on the lab reports, on the label in my jeans.  But I am also trying to pay attention to how I feel when I wake up, on my relationships, and the joy I get from family, friends, and work.  I don't think I am done redefining what it means to be healthy.  But I do know that each time I learn something new,  or read something wonderful like this, I take is as another opportunity.
