My best friend suffered a heart attack a few years ago which was a real wake up call for me, as she is one of the healthiest people I know! I immediately went for a full cardiac check up--stress test, echocardiogram -the works--and thankfully I passed everything, but I am always conscious of the need for more diet and exercise in my life--I don't get enough of both! This has been such a stressful year for me and I know stress is also damaging, so I am trying to make an effort to de-stress as much as possible. Christmas will be pretty much a non decorating season for me this year, as I will be packing for our move, but maybe that will help me concentrate on the most important aspects of the season. I find going to church services very stress releaving and I also want to enjoy my last NYC Chirstmas season, when it is so pretty here! :)Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-9803365726283659112012-10-23T11:40:07.346-04:002012-10-23T11:40:07.346-04:00So many nice people live in blogland!
