Hope and Health Go Hand in Hand

"What really makes people healthy is literacy, education, strong social support networks and a sense of hope," Dr. Francescutti said in an interview Thursday from Edmonton.   I found this on The Hope Lady's Blog when she asked how can we put the Doctor's words into practical application.   My friend Bonnie is volunteering in a community literacy program.  As someone with health concerns, I often speak of how much I appeciate the people who help me.  Friends and relatives whose help make it possible for me to stay in my own home.  Persons who come to visit when getting out becomes more difficult.   People who help me create a future in which I want to participate.....people who help me to hope.
