Changing my life!

Well, you just never know about how close you are to death until you see your blood pressure through the roof!  I thought I was actually going to stroke out!  Anyway, I decided that to remedy that situation, I will choose natural ways of bringing that hypertension down to a more normal reading.  I do not believe in prescription drugs so I have made a few changes.  Losing weight was not a priority on my list but I have been working very hard in the yard and getting a lot of exercise, eating less, and drinking less alcohol.  I try to concentrate on drinking a lot of water, especially when I work!  Also, an important point:  stop letting things get to me so much!  It is not worth it!  I was dwelling on every little irritant and it certainly showed up.  I have been feeling much better now, but there is still a lot of work ahead.
