The beautiful location of Sedona is where one of my sons and his lovely fiance will be married this year in April. I am thrilled mainly because they care so much about each other and have created a life together, but I am also excited to come back to this lovely place. I look forward to watching their journey.
In the meantime, since this was a blog about getting healthy, I'm back on that journey. Diagnosed with cancer more than 6 months ago, I am working again to eat well, lose weight, and stay in shape, this time because I want to decrease the chances of recurrence and increase the chances of being healthy enough to enjoy the company of my family and friends for a long time to come and avoid as much as possible the problems that come with avoidable chronic illnesses.
My successes on this blog were not lasting. I could see on a diet and wellness app I used that the work I did in the spring and summer months to get in shape were wiped out in the first three months of being back at work. Stress and sedentary behavior of being linked to my computer and, in general, failing to prioritize me and my health led to backsliding.
I am (re)committed to making a consistent and lifelong change of taking better care of myself, of saying no to those (and myself) who ask me to commit to what I think would be overcommitment, and to be in a place where I can use my self-care as a place to take care of others and work on taking care of the Earth. Again, an interesting way to circle back to this lovely, almost mystical, location.
