With Valentine's Day just around the corner, the theme of love has taken center stage. The Bible, in 1 Corinthians 13, gives a wonderful definition of love. "All you need is love, love, Love is all you need," sang the Beatles. But true love is more than words or the lyrics of a song. It's sometimes the act of final sacrifice.

While not all of these are relatable, there are some hidden gems. I personally appreciated #7, 34, 36, 55, 78, 89. They align with my intention of doing less, enjoying more. It's the small things: a mug of tea, a warm blanket, a furry friend, a beautiful piece of music, dark chocolate. Best friends. Gratitude. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. There is beauty everywhere if we look for it.

Whether it’s taking fruit to work (and to the bedroom!), being polite to rude strangers or taking up skinny-dipping, here’s a century of ways to make life better, with little effort involved …

This is why the primary focus of WBT is on care for Lymphedema and Lipedema. Imagine gaining independence from cancer only to be told that what cured your cancer has caused your lymphedema. Lymphedema has no cure, is under-recognized by the medical community, and most treatment is not covered by insurance. When the day finally comes where more research is funded, and care is covered -- well, that will be time to celebrate.

So a wise and wonderful friend shared with me the following information and I'm passing it along to you. So simple but so profound. Move a thigh. Change everything. Many hugs to my friend for sharing this.

I am simply encouraging you to get out of your chair. Do something for your body. There is an expression, "Move a thigh, change a thought." What it means is that if you are unhappy with your thoughts then get moving and your thoughts will change.
