- Words of Advice
-
I’m full of the joys of life and appreciation of my health, family and friends. Everything has been worthwhile. I sometimes get a little warning signal when I've overdone things, but now I take notice, and instead of pushing myself harder, I take a break.
Good nutrition helps. I try to avoid sugar, yeast and alcohol and I’ve cut out caffeine completely.
Try to play and rest twice as much as you work and you'll reap the benefits!
