Health for Fun, or, The Point

Many of us are so consumed by what we'd like to accomplish for ourselves that we lose sight of the goal once (or while) we do that. Health and freedom from our hindrances are essential, we know that. But then what? We want to finish our work so we can enjoy the rest of the things in our lives- friends, family, hobbies, life goals.

Amidst the incessant hard work, let's take a taste of the point of it all. Take a break and call a friend whom you've been meaning to contact, spend ten minutes reading a book you keep meaning to get to, or make (or order, if you're like many of us New Yorkers) the meal you've been craving for months.

Euclid defines a straight line as the "shortest path between two points." However, what may seem like a turn off of the path is often only a necessary curve in the road, and gives us the needed momentum to reach our destinations.
