NO ONE KNOWS BETTER the significance of good health than the people on this website. Nothing makes more evident the joys of feeling healthy than having experienced the various devastating maladies that resulted in ostomies. Perhaps – like those mask and vaccine avoiders now hospitalized with Covid – a few of us learned this lesson a bit late. But good health habits are still good, even if it took us awhile to catch on. Occasionally, I will confess, I can lose my grip on the necessities of diet management. “The only way to keep your health,” said Mark Twain, “is to eat what you don’t want, drink what you don’t like, and do what you’d rather not.” I’m still working hard to convince myself that breakfast need not be followed by dessert. I’m at a loss to understand how I could have quit smoking cold turkey, never to go back to it, yet I can’t bring myself to stop snacking. I’m eating pretzels as I type this post! Better than ice cream, I guess. That was yesterday.

Yes Henry I also managed to quit smoking.....cold turkey in May 1983.

Don't know the exact date but I regard it as one of my greatest achievements. I was so proud of myself.

Speaking of achievements, this pearl of wisdom come across my desk last week from that well know modern day American philosopher, Homer J. Simpson.

He was addressing his eldest daughter......"Lisa you're my greatest achievement and you've done it all yourself"

Keep well and Covid safe.
