“Courage takes many forms … ” for my Health Partner: 

Please stop gagging … here is my freshly home made carrot juice drink! Delicious too.
Eight ounces of carrots, one apple freshly juiced and liquid or whole oranges for balance. Made in my juicer. ALL of my required fruit and veggie servings for the day by 7:30 a.m. (Now you will gag … I had brussel sprouts for lunch. Oh stop it!) LOL

“Courage takes many forms. There is physical courage, there is moral couroage. Then there is a still higher type of courage ~ the courage to brave pain, to live with it, to never let others know of it and to still find joy in life; to wake up in the morning with an enthusiasm for the day ahead.” ~ Howard Cosell

A special message to you, my special Health Partner:
When I was excercising to Gloria Estephan this morning a song struck me. 
Do you recall when we first became health partners and you began working with me for my volunteer work with the CDC’s “10 Keys to Healthy Aging”? Remember how motivated you were and you lost weight and were biking and doing so well? Then you broke your ankle and were told to stay off your feet? 
Then the weight crept back while you slowly healed. Discouraging, I know. You were so successful before and on your way to win the prize. 
But this song seemed so perfect for you. I hope you will listen to her sing it. Then you will also understand why I used her music to exercise by for a decade now. She’s a powerhouse.
It is the lyrics I really want you to READ. But (the only quality I could find is a live performance too).
“Get On Your Feet” by Gloria Estefan:www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW1YBdXd1CE

Get On Your Feet - Gloria Estefan
You say I know it’s a waste of time
There’s no use trying
So scared that life’s gonna pass you by
Your spirit dying
Not long ago
I could feel your strength and your devotion
What was so clear, is now overcast
With mixed emotions
Deep in your heart is the answer
Find it, I know it will pull you through
Chorus
Get on your feet
Get up and make it happen
Get on your feet
Stand up and take some action
Get on your feet
Don’t stop before it’s over
Get on your feet
The weight is off your shoulder
I think it’s true that we’ve all been through
Some nasty weather
Let’s understand that we’re here
To handle things together
You gotta keep looking onto tomorrow
There’s so much in life
That’s meant for you.
Chorus
For all my health partners, too … come back and listen whenever you need a boost. 
“Don’t stop before it’s over.”
In your corner,
Nighty
