8 Vital Life Lessons from My Mother via LaurieJStone
Irish genes never hurt, there are eight non-negotiables in my silver-haired mother’s life, which I believe help her stay fit, strong, and yes, young…
Go outside – Nature has always called to my mother. She knows the name of every bird species in our yard – from the goldfinches to the downy woodpeckers. She watered and fertilized all my outdoor flowers this summer and our hibiscus, geraniums, and roses never looked more beautiful. She notices and appreciates the big and small things – a particular iridescent green on a hummingbird or the majesty of the poplar trees in our backyard. Nature gives her strength.
Stay current with medical check-ups – If I mention that I don’t feel like going for a particular medical screening, but am overdue, my mother will chastise me. “It’s important to know your numbers and where you stand,” she’ll say. “Keep up with that stuff.” And she’s right. She taught me that staying medically up to date is a form of self-care and one of the reasons I believe Mom is in such good shape. She takes her health seriously.
