Don’t Put Your Diamond Earrings On Over the Bathroom Sink and Other Thoughts on Health

Ok, we all KNOW better, but we get in a hurry and first thing you know, your day blows up in your face! We can see that very expensive earring (maybe a gift from a sig. other, in my case the hubs?) as it flies down the side of the bowl. We grab for it and watch as it slips past the stopper and into the yucky abyss below. Don’t want to tell the hubs, but what to do?

I could go on, but we have all had a situation like this if not this…LOL…done it twice myself!

What do you do to value your health and well being?

Fortunately, I know to turn off the water and loosen the trap all by myself and that special someone never knows how I spent my morning.

So, what is the point here? A diamond earring is something that is valued. So is your family, your relationships, your health. Do you value your health? Do you make time for you?

As a sixteen-year ovarian cancer survivor I have learned the value of good health and I strongly believe in protecting the health that I have. My father, who had his first heart attack at 42 and died at 59, came to realize, albeit too late, that once good health is gone, the most valuable thing in life is gone.

He always put us and his job first and did not make time for himself. Are you making time for you? What do you do to value your health and well being? I would love to know if you value yourself more as a Queenager or when you were a teenager?

Sue marks her life in two segments--BC and AC--no, not the renowned Southern headache powder or air conditioning (for which she will be forever grateful). BC and AC denote her life ‘before cancer’ and ‘after cancer.’ Before her diagnosis of ovarian cancer at 51, life had been as she had envisioned-college, marriage, job, travel….all the good stuff.

AC took some getting used to put it mildly. Now she spends her time still doing the good stuff, but now with purpose as she runs a nonprofit dedicated to helping women undergoing treatment for any gynecological cancer. She knows it is the what she is supposed to be doing.

In her spare time, she exercises, walks her dog, Molly, cooks with friends, enjoys painting, re-purposing found stuff and boating with her husband on Lake Lanier in north Georgia. She wears the crown of Queenager proudly and is never seen without earrings!

    Janette you GO girl. Glad to know you’re feeling/doing great. How did you make that turnaround?

  2. Have I EVER changed in how I try to take care of my own health. Who had the time? But my 60th year was the year I decided to try to focus on my health. Was busy with kids, work, ailing dying relatives, etc. etc. etc. In the past I tried to “grab” whatever was wrong, put it in my pocket and “go”. It left my with a terrible gut, no energy, bad menopause. To focus on me felt so foreign. Today, I’m thrilled I have done so. With friends I’m almost embarrassed to have no complaints!! Feels sooo much better, think I’ll keep it going!

    1. Good for you! So glad you “got the message” that only you can do it and the rewards are enormous.
