Perhaps it’s because I’m home sick and quite grumpy, but I wasn't very polite on a recent call from my health care provider. They are offering a new wellness benefit in which you can sign up to receive regular, fifteen minute phone calls from a life coach who will nag you about your weight, your fitness routine, or any other health goal you might have. The gentleman on the phone did not appear to be working from a script and in between uh’s and um’s repeatedly referred to getting ready for summer. I told him that not only was I not interested, but that thought that the mere thought of it just annoyed me. My attitude may be the result of the searing sinus headache that has plagued me since late last night as well as the fact that his call woke me from a sound sleep. Or maybe I just don’t need a stranger’s voice to join the one in my head telling me I need to get in shape.

Oh my! How horrid! The thought of having a stranger call to remind me to exercise or eat right is terrible. I can only imagine having that call awaken you when you are not well. Try to get some good rest and hope you get no more calls like that. Jackie http://familytrove.blogspot.com/
