One summer when I was in college, I worked for a multimillionaire in Radnor as his chauffeur, gardener, and handyman. One day, I was laying a flagstone path in his front yard. It was hot and steamy, and I was stripped to the waist. I had been working hard with pick and spade; my muscles bulged and gleamed. I looked up and saw my employer sitting on his front steps, staring at me intensely. He was wizened and frail, tethered to an oxygen tank because of severe emphysema. He caught my glance and beckoned me. "I would trade all my millions in a second," he told me, "to have a body like yours and to be able to breathe again. Health is the greatest wealth, boy. Don't ever forget it." September 10, 2012|By Art Carey, Inquirer Columnist | | |

The ability to participate, run with reckless abandon, jump up and down with joy, keeping up with your children and grandchildren. To do this we need to be lean, mean fit machines. No other nation on earth has as many over weight, over eating, diabetes inflicted, sedentary members of our population. What other nation can lay claim to such shows as "The Biggest Loser"? We smoke, drink, and eat our way into the emergency rooms by the time we reach our 40's. Walking, running, biking, cross country skiing, yoga, trips to the gym, playing with your grandchildren, eating sensibly and seeing your doctor occasionally, will insure your going to be around for awhile. If not for yourself, do it for your family and loved ones.  | | |

I agree. I've met many a rich people in my time and good health is more important than wealth. If you have both then be grateful and share the wealth. G15=----3-6-9-10-13-16-19-20-23-26-29-30-33-36-39

Health is really wealth..no matter what. It doesn't count houses, cars, jewelries or gadgets. But it does count how long your life is. | | |
