“The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest and air
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they’ll ease 
Your will they’ll mend
And charge you not a shilling.” 
~ Nursery Rhyme ~

“The best doctors give the least medicines.” ~ Benjamin Franklin ~

 and be in good health, 
just as your soul prospers.”

    Lovely. I've been reading your blog posts. Because of your courage, many women will feel less alone when they begin the journy from wife to widow. I do hope you will share with the women of Rural Women Rock soon.

    Kind regards,
    Kasse D.

    I think the heart is the key to successful Christian living. We usually think of thoughts and feelings as being separate entities, but biblically they are tied because one feeds the other.
