Numbers

I used to enjoy numbers. I worked with during the day, I incorporated them into my stories.

But two numbers have scared me. My cholesterol level and my triglyceride level. Each result is only three digits, but what an impact those digits have had on me.

I could ignore them and life could continue as before. However, it would be a shorter and less pleasant life.

So I have decided to follow the numbers and make some changes. A tweak here, a tuck there. It's what I knew I should have been doing, but the numbers threw everything more clearer into focus.

I know in the long run, things will be better, I still wish they had been lottery numbers.
