only one life to live, and one body to live it in

i need to take better care of myself.

i realized this early this morning in the bathroom of the on-call room at the hospital. i was looking in the mirror, and found:
1. a few gray hairs
2. various and sundry bumps on my face
3. eyebrows in desperate need of touching up

i'm not getting any younger, which is strange to think. i mean, i'm not old, but really an adult now.

i think reading about middle-age has also made me more aware of my cardiovascular health and bone density, etc etc.

so here's to finding some time to do somethings for myself:
1. actually take my vitamins
2. really be aware of eating better
3. hiking, walking, pilates, some activity
4. try not to let myself go with the stress of school, b/c let's face it, stress is going no where.

okay. i'm done.
