Asked by JLeslie (65416) October 22nd, 2019 from iPhone

Quit smoking.

Eat better.

Exercise.

Less stress.

What was the change you made, and what was the final straw that gave you the commitment to make the change?

As you all know I lost a close friend about a year ago, she was 51, and we lost Auggie, also 51, and a zumba friend where I live suddenly lost her husband a few months ago, he was 58, and past work friend lost her very best friend at age 50 also a few months ago, and now another past coworker suddenly lost her husband, he was 50, and another of my past work friends was diagnosed with ovarian cancer stage 4 a few years ago early 50’s. I mean WTF? It sucks. I’m not completely shocked or surprised, I’ve always known people can get sick and die young, but it’s just all around me right now.

I feel like it’s a sign to live healthier. I already know I should be doing it anyway.
