These are very basic but very descriptive, too. I picked up on the physical ones regarding my right arm and on my want and need to spread soft rock phosphate. I feel pretty positive about everything on this list regarding myself except for a couple of physical problems I am going to have to deal with this year.
If I can improve those conditions and keep up the other good things I am doing, 2014 could be a pretty decent year.
As a farmer, drought or flood can impact that but I don't have to take it personally.
All I can do is respond in a positive manner.
Have a great day,
Ed

Very good blog Ed.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brad. At my age it seems I work with my family and friends on health and wellness as much as I do agriculture! A yearly physical with my very valued doctor has kept me alive and functioning. It's up to me to do the hard work but I have know what I am dealing with. If I am going to test soil and plants, I am going to get my own self tested, too!
ReplyDeleteThe spiritual part has always been important to me but at this stage of life, it's never been more important. It's a good thing my parents forced us all to go to Sunday School as you can see that now in each of the 14 Winkle grandchildren.
I think we could discuss each one of the items in the blog as a blog itself!
