WWW

If you're a regular reader of  the blog - directly or via FB, by now,
you may be used to postings going in a different direction from what you were expecting...

Well this one won't disappoint you either- this time WWW stands for
Wholeness, Wellness and Wealth.

There is a rythm to them and I can assure you that they give melody to your life -
yes, they are beneficial and desirable for a good life.

It has been said that "the greatest wealth is health."* So what is "health"?
According to the WHO, 
"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being,
and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."

The dictionary defines:
Wellness as: "physical well-being, especially when maintained or achieved through
good diet and regular exercise"*
and
Wholeness as "healed or restored to health physically or psychologically"**

They go hand in hand...what's the point of being restores to health and not maintaining it?
We should be aware of that connection and aim to be whole.
Indeed, "just because you're not sick doesn't mean you're healthy."****

Strive to be WWW for life!

I shared a few tips the first 21 days of this month...and at other times. Search for "Healthy habits" or "HEELS" or "Matters of the heart" on http://www.sapphire-and-beryl.blogspot.com/
