ON HEALTH AND HOPE

Ah, Day 4 of the WEGO Health Activist Writer's Month Challenge. Today's prompt is:

I write about my health because...

"He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything." 
—Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)


I guess it all comes down to hope. I want to have hope. I want to give hope. Writing about breast cancer gives me hope. Writing about it also gives me health — mental health. Getting my thoughts out, putting "it" out there, it's all good for the soul. And that helps my health. And in the end I hope it helps your health, too.
