June 1, 2026, body

dog on beach
A Cast Member discount got us to Sanibel Island the first time in 1988. A dog got us there the second time. And after three separate yellow labs in our life, we visited every year for 30 years.

Happy June 1, 2026.

While the Summer Solstice is three weeks away (June 21, 4:54am), Since childhood, i’ve always celebrated Summer’s arrival on June 1st.

Why?

As a kid, i actually thought Summer began at the beginning of the month. June = Summer.

Had no clue what a Summer Solstice is.

The privilege of making mistakes, body

photo of , No Lifeguard sign at Florida Beach
Should say, no lifeguard, be sedentary at own risk.

Is it a human privilege to make mistakes?

i think it is.

The privilege of making mistakes is only for people who act.

Why?

Intentional action leads to outcomes.

Outcomes lead to learning.

Learning leads to growth.

Growth is the essence of life.

Like a broken record, and as simple as i can humanly make it:

  1. Move well
  2. Fuel well
  3. Rest well
  4. Motivate yourself well

This won’t save you from unexpected tragedy, but it will save you from neglect’s impact.

Time poor, body

Arnold Palmer quote
Wonder if Arnie was referring to staying active for a lifetime. Or overcoming tragedy.
Alzheimers disease statistics
Tragic news for humans. Perhaps also tragic is in less time than every 68 seconds after most high schooler’s graduate they decide to never again exercise.
Buddism quote
We can control many things. Heck yes it’s challenging and feels impossible sometimes. And we also know we will never be able to control many things.

Am i time poor? And, does it even matter?

Time poor is when you are so busy, you cannot afford to waste any time.

You are living without any discretionary time.

No extra time to do something that isn’t required.

Moving well isn’t required to live a life.

Fueling well isn’t required to live a life.

Resting well isn’t required to live a life.

Motivating yourself well isn’t required to live a life.

Physical vibrancy is a time, effort, and resources investment.

Decades ago i committed to never being too busy to get and stay physically vibrant.

Note: My other commitment is to maintain this commitment should an unthinkable event happen. Time will tell.

Busy is not sexy, body

New routines. What will be lost? What will be gained?
Running quote
2026…Been trying to run pain-free again since 2018+-

Remember how we used to run everywhere – walking was too slow?

2015…Began the morning in pain, but was able to run a 10-miler. Note: Literally negative splits for eight miles.

Why is being busy not sexy?

Why?

Wait, you haven’t figured this out yet?

Saying you’re too busy to focus on your health?

Too busy indeed.
