Sacrifice Is Required

Sacrifice is required. And so is patience. You already know this. And you also know how difficult, and some would even say impossible, these are.

Yet we must, over time, develop the good habits that let us have a positive outlook, in spite of the setbacks and missed opportunities. It is our only hope for hope.

Four days ago, I had to pass on the Florida State Masters Track & Field Championships. It’s a 30-minute drive., and my “home track”. But I’ve spent years with chronic foot pain and am not ready to compete again.

Every Day Is A Struggle

Be kind to everyone you meet, for everyone single one of us is carrying a heavy load.

There was no exercise yesterday. Too many other things took priority.

Not only is diet and exercise challenging, but so is not letting too many tough days happen in a row. Don’t do it.

Every Day Is The Same

Don't Let Your Spirit Become Hard As A Rock

Wake up.

Find the will power to do what needs to be done.

This will continue until we die.

We can not be perfect at this, but we can be excellent.

When A Friend Asks Advice

Ever have a friend who asks you for your advice?

I mean, over and over again? Gets old doesn’t it?

What they should do, health-wise, is so painfully obvious.

They know it. You know it. Even a young child knows it.

To know is to do. To know and not do, is to not yet know. To my friend from yesterday, who’ll probably never read this, and to anyone else in denial – figure it out.

Health Is Wealth

Health is wealth.

That’s what the 93-year old woman said.

She always said it.

She had a wisdom about her that only comes from seeing it all. A lifetime of sorting through the “meaning of life”.

In 1989, Cheryl and I returned to Pennsylvania for our Best Man’s wedding.

It was during that trip that Grammy died in my arms.

And for some unknown reason this morning, I’m recalling what Grammy always said like it was yesterday.
