“Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
~ Benjamin Franklin ~ 

“If you don’t care care of your body, 
where are you going to live?” 
~ anonymous ~

“Healthy citizens are the greatest assets any country can have.” 
~ Winston Churchill ~

“Just because you’re not sick doesn’t mean you’re healthy.” ~ anonymous ~ 

“Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.” 
~ St. Jerome ~

“Health is not merely the absence of sickness.” ~ Hannah Green ~ 
“Sickness comes on horseback but departs on foot.” ~ anonymous ~ 

“He who does not overcome small faults, 
shall fall little by little into greater ones.”
~ Thomas a Kempis ~ 

“Diseases of the soul are more are more dangerous and more numerous than those of the body.” ~ Cicero ~ 

“The part can never be well unless the whole is well.” ~ Plato ~ 
“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 ~ 

“Each patient carries his own doctor within him.” 
~ Norm Cousins ~

“You will never change your life until you change something you do daily.”
~ John Maxwell ~

“Dear friend, I pray that you may prosper in every way
 and be in good health, 
just as your soul prospers.”
~ 3 John 1:2 ~

    "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." Love that one. It sounds like my beloved paradoxian G.K. Chesterton.

    Everyone should experience life on a farm, even for a week or a day… So many hardships, greater rewards.
    I love coming to your farm, even virtually is so inspiring. I come to your farm to rest my soul.
    Happy Valentines Day ~ hearts, love and buckets of blessings to you!

    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,

    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.

    Wonderful quotes! I heard something the other day I really liked….View your body as an instrument not a decoration. As Christians, we SHOULD take care of ourselves.
