Dear Pharmacist: Leave your house sans raincoat

I’m honored to be among the “special” people in your life, thank you very much. I’ve chosen your letter to inspire others to reclaim their health. I still recall a letter that was written by an 85-year-old man explaining how he’d live his life differently if he could. The letter is found in the late Leo Buscaglia’s book, "Living, Loving and Learning." Here it is:

My friends, I’ve spent 13 years writing health columns, every single week, rarely taking the allowance of a reprint during vacations. I post health tips on Facebook every single day. I do so because my passion is to inspire and empower all of you to feel great again, using any treatment, medication, supplement or healer that works. You are never trapped, if you aren’t feeling better, or you don’t like your health track, make a new choice. Don’t take the good aspects of your health for granted because one day, they (and you) will be gone. As 2012 turns the corner, focus on what feels well in your body, not what you haven’t accomplished. Set reasonable goals and this time, expect success.

Now, following Leo’s lead, is anyone up for skydiving with me?
