Urgh...I am frustrated. I am frustrated with the arrogance, nay ignorance of some people! Why are such smart people happy to make choices about their lives, their health, their childrens lives that are so far off sensible I just don't get it! ESPECIALLY when we have the level of access to education here in Australia.

I guess it comes down to how important things are to you. If you don't consider your health as important, then the choices you make will represent that I suppose. So what do we all consider important? I suggest that if you say that 'family' is most important, you are deluding yourself if you don't pay attention to your health.

And when I say "your" I consider myself in that. I do think family is the most important thing, so I eat well, sleep well, meditate, walk, laugh, debate, love. I take the health of myself and my family seriously. I try not to be lazy, and give in the convienience of take away and the omission of fruit and vegatables. I read about good health and nutrition, about current environmental issues affecting us, self improvement.

Does that mean i get it right all of the time. Absolutely not. But I try. I try to give my kids the best mum. I try. Kids are not a hinderence, they are a blessing. I think we all need to stop and acknowledge that from time to time. Instead of trying to get away from them, bring them closer. Instead of sticking our heads in the sand about 'issues', get strong and stand up to look at them. How can smart people think that by pretending something doesn't exist, it doens't? Ridiculous!

I challenge myself to always look at how I am living. What I am doing that brings negativity into my life. There are a couple of things that need ironing out, and for my own mental health, I choose to plug in and go!
