Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
Life is pretty simple. We all know this to be true, however, we most likely forget.
We really have only two choices when it comes to our health. Focus on it or don’t focus on it.
Which leads us to one more simple truth, and again, there are only two choices here.
Give up trying because it’s too difficult, or never give up trying.
I’ll bet you struggle with this as much as I do. That’s one of the main reason’s Lane 8 exists in the first place – to nourish the people who have chosen the later.

In 1989, Cheryl and I returned to Pennsylvania for our Best Man’s wedding.
It was during that trip that Grammy died in my arms.
And for some unknown reason this morning, I’m recalling what Grammy always said like it was yesterday.
It’s a choice, every day.
It’s your choice.
It’ll always be your choice.
Life gets so busy.
It tempts us.
It pressures us.

I do. We do. You do.
But…
It’s up to you.
