Responsibility....

Does this look like a good, healthy plate of food? This is what I make my salads out of whenever I eat at home. Fresh cucumber, avocado, mushrooms, tomatoes, bell pepper, and anaheim peppers. Sometimes I add things like hard boiled egg or maybe some cheese. Cut it all up, add some vinegar and olive oil, toss and eat. How does this relate to responsibility? Because I pose the question to the public: Does each of us owe it to ourselves, our family members, and to the public in general to do whatever we can to stay healthy? I feel it is my responsibility to do whatever I can to maintain my health so I can uphold my duties in taking care of my wife. I need to be healthy to take care of her needs. I need to be healthy so I can perform my job at a high level which in turn means I can continue to pay our health insurance. The studies that have been done showing how much illness cost companies in lost work hours is staggering. I personally know that whenever someone misses work in my department, most of the time it affects my job and therefore my performance. Responsibility comes in many forms but it is something that everyone has to be a part of.
