I absolutely love using the description "strong, healthy, and happy." This is truly the essence of longevity.<br /><br />I remember once when I was working at Head Start I was obliviously eating lunch when I noticed a small child across from me savoring an apple piece. Eating little bites, examining the fruit, just taking in the deliciousness of the meal. I hadn't even noticed the apple slices! Now I try to eat more mindfully, savoring the goodness of whole, real foods. We are the role models and kids will take on our attitudes.<br /><br />Thanks again for this important post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
