Smelling the Roses

Smelling the roses What would be my real treasure of life ? Would it be our Wealth, Time, Relationship, Health, Power, Body or Soul? I choose Health.  It is in my top priority since I started my working career. I was not serious with Health till 20-years later, at the tea-break with my two other colleagues in year 2011 to clock "one-full marathon".  And this evolves into new into-retirement passion.
