Taking Care of the Goose
by Samantha Roehrig
Remember the story of the goose the laid the golden
egg? As a mom, you produce valuable golden eggs that
bring a special kind of wealth to your family each
day -- such as making the kids a healthy breakfast,
teaching them a new game, volunteering in the
classroom, supporting the family financially, taking
the kids to the park,
healing a skinned knee or tucking them in with a
bedtime story each night. But for your family to
enjoy these riches both in the present and the
future, you need to take care of the goose.
Women's Health Month is a great time to take action.
How about scheduling the medical checkup that you've
been putting off because you're too busy taking care
of your family? When was the last time that you had
an annual checkup? Do you know your cholesterol
levels? Are you past due for your annual ob/gyn
appointment? Has it been more than six months since
your last dental checkup? It's so easy to put off
these wellness appointments, but preventative care
is essential to achieving and maintaining optimal
health. Pick up the phone today and make the
appointment! Take care of the goose!
Here’s to outstanding wellness, Samantha.
