A second simple question

Where would we be if we didn’t have the capacity to choose?

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

 

Each day contains a simple choice in the morning

Each day contains a simple choice in the morning.

Exercise or don’t exercise.

In the early years when we resolve to become active, it’s far too easy to revert back to our inactive selves.

Let’s assume we successfully push through that stage.

In later years however, after we’ve conquered inertia and made commitment a habit, it’s easier to take our long-term efforts for granted.

A slippery slope.

The long way is the short cut.

Become an example instead of a warning.

What lights your fire to stay well?

Residential life near Walt Disney World
Left the house on bikes at 6:45am. Rode to local lake with large sidewalk, mostly shaded. Completed our Wednesday run which was cut short due to heat.

 

Residential life near Walt Disney World
After some morning chores, preparing a “cooking fire”. It was so hot, even at 10am, but this chore was in the shade and a nice breeze was blowing.

 

Residential life near Walt Disney World
Helicopters few back and forth (over our home) all day. By late afternoon, the two-year old’s body was recovered. So sad.

On the same night, nature also claimed the life of one of the adolescent Sand Hill Cranes. Photo from our mailbox looking back toward the house.

What lights your fire to stay well?

Hope your answer was easy.

For me, it’s to be an example.

Because not being an example defaults me into being a warning.

How old is too old?

All the Windermere Running Club members are in middle school, high school, or college.

Only one parent, who just turned 57 two days ago, in the bunch.

Running drills.

Who knew?

Unfathomable

Gene Wilder quote
Screen shot from LinkedIn a few days ago.

 

Unfathomable:

To comprehend what the past seven years would have been like if each year i became less physically strong (measurable decline) and measurably heavier on the scale.

That’s exactly what would have happened without a plan.
