Dear Patients and Friends,
Writing a gratitude letter to all of you seems like a way to celebrate life and the holidays even more. Although so many of you come to me for support, I want you to know how much your words, ideas, opinions, and appreciation support me and make my life joyous.
You have taught me to open my mind and look at things in new ways. The bits and pieces of your personal experiences that you share with me are a gift and a blessing to me. I particularly enjoy working with all the babies (and their parents) and getting to be part of these new lives. Thank you all for the chance to enjoy being part of each of your lives. It energizes my life and I am grateful for each of you.
I want to give thanks to my wife, Lisa James, who somehow manages to make WholeCare stay organized in a business sense and at the same time fills the office with beauty and love. Lisa supports me in every aspect of my life and it is impossible to express the gratitude and love I feel for her. Lisa and I have five amazing adult children that love us and each other and are the best family that I could hope for.
It is my good fortune to also render thanks for my WholeCare coworkers- Marlene, Steve, Kendra, Shannon, Janet, Amanda and Rose. Everyone that works with me is an exceptional human being that truly cares about each patient we treat, each fellow co-worker, and happily- me. We’ve all been together for years now and we all support each other as we grow individually and together. How lucky I am to work with these people!
In a more self directed way, I am grateful for losing over 30 pounds on the Forever Fit diet program. My physical health feels better on all levels and it is amazing to have found a new metabolic “set point” that allows me to eat the same way I did before and stay consistently thinner. Also what a joy it has been to participate with the dozens of patients who have accomplished the same thing with this program. I have enjoyed working with, and being so well supported by, Dr. Gina Perry both as a colleague and a friend. The Forever Fit program that she spear-headed has helped me and so many others feel thinner and more vital.
Of course words are inadequate to truly express how grateful I am to be in service to each of you and how humbled I am by the trust you place in me. Thank you for this opportunity.
With warm wishes for your holiday season,
Dr. Jack Armstrong
