Nourish and exercise all aspects of yourself

• The older I get, the more I realize the importance of exercising the various dimensions of my body, soul, mind, and heart. Taken together, these aspects give me a sense of wholeness.  I want to be a whole human being rather than one who limps on one leg because I don’t know how to use all of my parts.  Intellectual, emotional, and physical activity are not separate entities.  Rather, they are dimensions of the same human being.  Robert Fulghum
