Good for her! :)
Old Bob Hope joke:
Eat healthy and exercise hard each day.
You won't live longer but it will seem like you do. :)
Another goodie from Bob:
Quitting smoking is the easiest thing to do.
I know, I've done it a thousand times.
My step-daughter is a Registered Dietitian (college degree
required) and has been working in a hospital. Seems that most of
her patients are dying and it's got her very depressed counseling
such people. Enough that she is considering changing careers.
I told her that if I was doing that and knew someone would be
dead soon anyway, I would be tempted to just blurt it out.
Hey...you're dying...eat anything you want. Let your remaining
time be happy with food at least. (I'm picturing Sam Kinison
saying that with an "ARRRGGHH" at the end of sentence).
I also told her that naturally, I would be fired immediately for
such advice but....
I also advised her to talk with other health care people and ask
how they cope with this terminal sadness.
I hate death and don't deal with it well at all. This is why I
don't even have new ferrets for now. Every few years, I had to
bury another good friend. I grieve hard and each one leaves with
a piece of my "heart." Mia was the hardest.
I've reached the very old theory (and sad one really)...Don't
start any more relationships and you won't be hurt down the road.
I tend to avoid relationship lately. That's ok for now
though...I've got cable tv, books, internet and burgers. heheh ;0
Am I happy in this state? For now at least, I've convinced
myself that this is best. I do seem happy enough. lol
