Hello Parents and Teachers --
Fitness and Family Wellness are our two themes for the month of May. If you are thinking of
"loosing weight" or "dropping pounds" [Yikes! Summer = bathing suit!], flip your thoughts to
"getting healthy." When we are thinking of "loosing" or "dropping," we are in a state of denying
our body something. Our body may protest! Shift to a serene acceptance of all things healthy
and nutritious , and our body will cooperate with that! In focusing on health and fitness, we
model healthy living for our children. Our children will do what they SEE not what they HEAR.
Seeing us eat healthy foods and participate in activities to become more fit will be a much more
powerful influence than simply saying, "Eat your carrots." Read below on tips for healthier living
and inspiration to move towards health.

Wishing You Well --

We visited friends recently and sat outside where we watched paragliders and hang
gliders soaring overhead. They rose up into the sky upon invisible warm currents of
air and floated effortlessly by -- trusting in their equipment and their ability to keep
them from crashing into the earth. But isn't that risky? Perhaps it is, but what a thrill
to experience!

My son is a rock climber. Using toeholds and fingertip holds he makes his way up
the shear face of a cliff. Though he fell once and broke his arm, he's back out there
again. Why? Isn't that risky? Perhaps, but he likes the feeling of satisfaction of
conquering the mountain and succeeding at a difficult endeavor.

We live in wonderful ski country in Utah. But did you know that numerous people die every year of skiing
accidents? Not that skiing is so dangerous, but there is a certain risk factor in all sports.

And one doesn't have to participate in sports to take a risk. Just buy stocks and bonds! I've been told that
October is one of the riskiest months to buy stocks. The other dangerous months are January, February, March,
April . . . .

There is risk in all of life. But we have a choice: we can either live fully or live in fear.

Queen Margareth II of Denmark once said, "I have always had a dread of being a passenger in life." She never
wanted to sit on the sidelines, be a spectator or just go along for the ride. Life is for living, not watching.

May Kay Ash, founder of the Mary Kay Company once remarked, "Most of us die with our music un-played." At
the end of your life, you may have played it safe. But is your music still un-played?

I don't want to die before I've lived! And when I'm ready to go, I still want to be playing my music.
