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
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.

It’s Up To You

Age With Determination And Grace

It’s a choice, every day.

It’s your choice.

It’ll always be your choice.

Life gets so busy.

It tempts us.

It pressures us.

To think we have no choice.

I do. We do. You do.

But…

It’s up to you.

Lane 8 focuses on our physical health and well being. Much of the content here is my own personal struggle, and triumph, over mediocrity and boredom. Therefore, running is what does it for me.

Today is not about running or high cholesterol.

It’s about cancer. And how to think and act “after cancer”.  This New York Times article shares very brief, but poignant summaries from cancer survivors.

It will inspire you to live, even if cancer hasn’t devastated your life.
