H is for Happy and Healthy?

I was recently asked, "What makes you happy?"  It's a simple question and I have a simple answer.  Health makes me happy.  I'm sure you've heard the jingos, "A healthy body is a happy body" and "When you have your health you have everything".  Nothing to argue with there, but if health is so important to happiness, why is it so hard to live a healthy lifestyle?  Unfortunately dieting and exercising and getting plenty of sleep do not make me happy.  So you can see my dilema, is it possible to be happy and healthy?  Maybe I should just settle for eat, drink and be merry?  If anyone comes up with a way to do both will they please let me know?

    I found you! So pleased and loved your post Vicki thank you!
    Health definitely plays a huge part in our sense of well being surely? But it is not the be end all of everything - a sunrise can make one happy even if short on sleep, a smile makes the cells expand ... a double cappuccino with extra cream makes me very very happy as does a slice or three of delicious cake...
    Can hair make one happy? I posted on this today ..

    I'm so glad you found me! Your hair post started my day with a smile and I loved the pictures:) I don't see a spot on your blog to "Join This Site" but I will go back and look again. I'm new to this and am finding out that I'm technologically challenged ..

    Hi again Vicki, been dashing in and out here at home .. back now - so pleased to hear back from you! Earlier I checked out your earlier posts and left comments - they were so great! I think I got stuck some days ago on D for Dad .... I don't remember, am a bit dizzy with A-Z. :)

    I don't think I have a link? Just a subscribe e mail? Honestly I don't know if that's the same thing?

    Because our genetics are hardwired to love sweet, fat, and salty. In the days of our ancestors, something sweet meant it was not poisonous... and fat and salt probably were important for other reasons and rare to get. Now, we have all the access to fat, salt, and sugar and have not evolved enough to say no.
