Rural Simplicity

1) If you don't have your health, what do you have? 2) What if you paid a doctor a monthly fee to keep you well, and didn't pay them when you got sick? (look into ancient Japanese medicine) 3) If there were no stress in life how often do you think we would get sick? 4) How often do you ask - "If I just had ____________ [back] I would be healthy" 5) How often do you associate looks and size with health? 6) What is one thing holding you back from becoming more healthy? 7) Do you believe that being healthy is expensive? Too expensive? 8) What would you do if you had to pay all medical bills out of pocket? What if there were no insurance for health at all? 9) Do you believe medicine has to do with your health? Or does body movement, mentality, and nutrition? 10) Do you have a job, lifestyle, friend group, and hobbies that encourage health? Have you thought about changing some of them to encourage healthy living?

"Perfect" I always get laughed at when someones asks me for my opinion on something or how I like a particular thing because my answer is usually..."perfect". I would like it perfect please. I would like my steak done perfectly. I would like you to behave perfectly, I would love my house to be cleaned perfectly. Now if you read the recent post about "Are You a Perfectionist?" you might think this is going against everything I previously said. But, When a steak gets cooked I think it shouldn't be burnt and it also shouldn't be moo'ing at me so it's in between - perfect.

And I certainly wouldn't want to over obsess about having my house sparkling clean all the time and I also wouldn't want to live in a cluttered trash heap. So therefore I would like my house to be

Have you ever thought about what you would do if you achieved perfection? Every day I write a list, I do my best to accomplish everything on that list. I also try to love and nourish my husband and child, I try to not rip off my boss or the company in any way, I say yes to people in need whenever possible...and the list is ongoing. How much does it take to be perfect? How much stuff do I need to accomplish before I am satisfied with myself? Or, Is perfection the opposite? Is it letting go of the lists and all of the doing. Is it found in meditation and quietness? Should you say no, more often and carry less of other people's burdens? Where is perfection? Here is a litte survey to expand further into "Are You A Perfectionist?" No it's not going to pop up and say...Hurray you are a perfectionist!, or "I'm sorry but you'll just have to try harder to achieve perfection." It's just 10 questions that I think will get you thinking more about hint

If you and your spouse were on the Newlywed game show... would you win? My husband and I are going to a couple's retreat next month and decided to get a head start on it by brushing up on our newlywed gameshow questions. We actually did pretty well the first time through, but we keep giving each other pop quizzes to keep the answers fresh in our minds. Below I've made a list of common couples questions that you and your spouse might find fun to ask each other. 1) What is your spouse's all time favorite movie? 2) What would your spouse request as their "last meal"? 3) What is your spouse's favorite pastime? 4) What percentage of housework would your husband say he does? 5) What flavor of cake did you have at your wedding? 6) What is your spouse's ideal date night? 7) Excluding people, what would your spouse say is their most prized possession? 8) At what specific sport or game will you wife say she is better than you? 9) What is your spouse&#
