Category: As You Get Older

Harsh truth or beautiful truth?

This is an important reminder for anyone who is aging.

Most want to live a long life, few want to get old.

 

 

This video is the beautiful truth.

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.

Tried and true may be the devil’s work

It’s so ridiculously easy to find tried and true reasons to remain comfortable indoors, especially when it’s wintery cold outside.

Reflecting on the observation that no one in this facility seems to have a passion for physical exercise.

Will this be me in 20 years, as a 76 year old?

Hope your Christmas Day yesterday was balanced with the things you treasure.

Even when traveling. Even when it’s a holiday. Even when you don’t feel like it.

Commit to balance.

Turns out, it’s a habit no matter if we do or if we don’t.

Yeah, habits. They make us or break us.

Be flexible and go easy (but not too easy) on yourself

Be flexible and go easy (but not too easy) on yourself.

Thanksgiving Day and the day after we forgot to run three mailboxes a day.

How could we forget something so simple?

It happens sometimes.

So we made it up yesterday (Saturday) and today (hopefully).

We keep our pace ridiculously slow, by design, for now.

Why could I not find a single person?

Why could i not find a single person who needed to defend their physical health in a convincing manner?

Someone who made time for exercise, was intentional about their food choices and intake, (and invisibly focused on adequate rest), in a deliberate yet unobtrusive way.

Similar to an intensely spiritual person who has the ability to not make others uncomfortable with their passion.

Is that unreasonable?

Insight: What does defending something resemble? It would look, sound, and feel like someone who is “in training” for something.
