Emotional health (and health)
Sandra Dodd
Today's Just Add Light and Stir went out with a quote from Jenny Cyphers:
-=-Emotional health and emotional well-being are as important, if not more so, as physical health. —Jenny Cyphers-=-
I got the whole e-mail back (as happens sometimes, by accident) with this forwarding note: -=-Thoughts? Do you agree or disagree -=-
But the person accidentally replied instead of forwarding. It happens fairly often, and it's interesting for me to see what people have written to a spouse, or sibling, or friend. Usually it's positive (this is great, or you'll like this).
Because I'm sifting through a huge collection of writing, I wouldn't put anything up that's not already twice good—written, collected, saved, found again, chosen and shared. I guess that's way more than "twice good."
Emotional well-being, as many people know, can't be separated from physical well-being. Worshipers of the King James Bible sometimes think the soul/spirit is separate from the body and that instincts. Worshipers of "nutrition" think that bodies are built of molecules and unaffected by fear, shame or control, but anyone who's studied the least bit of child development knows that's not true.
When something is solid truth, it just keeps getting truer, though. :-) This month, a new discovery about the nervous system/brain and the lymph system is in the news.

So I suppose the thing about Jenny's statement that could be questioned is whether emotional health can be separated from physical health. :-) It can, because the language and measurements are created by people, and they're measuring what they can see, and want to see, and have defined as important.
