From an RVer camping on the desert near Yuma, a blog message I could empathize with. Included were these sage words:

The first thing I read this morning was from Timber Hawkeye at Buddhist Boot Camp: “Your job isn’t to go around trying to save people, or to drag them kicking and screaming with high hopes that in the end they will thank you… all you can do is live a healthy life yourself, trusting that those with eyes to see will pay attention and then save themselves. Your life is your message, so LIVE your message. Actions are way louder than words.”   Boy did that hit me hard! I have been thinking about it all day, and can see where I have pushed my idea of what is healthy or right pretty hard on my siblings and my mom.  OK, on everyone that I love. Even those who aren’t speaking to me right now.

Nancy, oh Nancy, how true!! “Your [my] job isn’t to go around trying to save people, or to drag them kicking and screaming with high hopes that in the end they will thank you [me]… all you [I] can do is live a healthy life yourself [myself], trusting that those with eyes to see will pay attention and then save themselves. Your [my] life is your [my] message, so LIVE your [my] message. Actions are way louder than words.” That must be uppermost in my mind because I plan to live the rest of my life at the Escapees CARE Center. I’ve alienated so many people this past year, talking about health and nutrition.
