fitness versus health

I was reading some of Anthony Robbins work - he helps people to discover and develop their own unique qualities of greatness. I came across clarification and perspective between health and fitness which I wanted to share.

He goes on to state that if you achieve fitness at the expense of your health you may not live long enough to enjoy your physique!

It Will Pass

"It Will Pass" are the three words that are so important to me. At times I am drowning in the tension and the pressures of the negetive mind of my loved one.

It is so difficult for the carer to find support. The considerate carer will not put themselves first. The considerate carer will not break confidence. The considerate carer can be the un-considered carer.

family frustration

Am not sure what to do with myself. Was just at the receiving end of a family member venting all their frustrations at me. This person feels angry, frustrated, pre occupied, alone, disrespected, uncared for, that there is little to grasp any hope from and that person does not know where to turn next, is fed up with therapy, fed up with being patient, sees no end in sight and as for seeking refuge in Iceberg, felt why bother any more.
