The Seven Dimensions of Wellness

These aren't New Year's resolutions, but ways to look at yourself.  LuAnn ran across these, what do you think?

THE SEVEN DIMENSIONS OF WELLNESS

1.    Physical 
            Endurance, strength and flexibility 
            Body composition and diet

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,
