Wellness is not absence of illness. Nor is illness absence of wellness.
A terminal patient in Hospice can enjoy some degree of wellness.
A person with no illness, can still improve wellness.
Wellness is a continuum that can be illustrated as a line segment beginning at a point “death” and stretching forward to a point of living life as a work of art in progress. Therefore, any of us, from the patient in Hospice that knows he or she is not going to walk out of the room but makes the best of the time left to them, to the fit healthy person walking down a beautiful forest trail that has new challenging goals to work at, can be moving forward along the Wellness Continuum.
Future driversthriving.com posts and articles will elaborate on the concept of Wellness and Fitness, and, working toward them while living on the road in a truck or as a frequent traveler.
