So American?

Denise and her husband are the new owners. With our frequent apartment visits over 8 weeks, we had many encounters and developed a brief friendship.

Next we visited University Hospital of the Sunshine Coast to thank the infusion team.

Pianica and Julie (pictured here) were the two who checked us in and took us to our room.The flowers and card on the left are from us.

Being grateful and thankful, and not expressing it is similar to receiving a gift but never opening it.

Context: We appreciated what others did for us, and especially what they did for our son. The smiles and verbal thank yous we gave (ultimately) didn’t match what we wanted to convey. So we went the extra-mile.

Physical manifestation

Physical vibrancy is the manifestation of how you habitually move, rest, and fuel.

Physical vibrancy is the manifestation of appropriate movement, rest, and fuel.

  • Movement = endurance, strength, flexibility, core
  • Rest: sleep
  • Fuel: nutrition, motivation

Physical discipline

Exceptional discipline required to be at this place, at this time year, with these Disney figurines, and the planning.

Physical discipline is creating habits you love by doing things you used to hate.

Regular exercise.

Adequate rest.

Balanced nutrition.

Endless motivation to be an example not a warning.

The physical way

Warmup for 3.5 miles, then three miles of fartlek. Then five more miles to complete an 11.5-mile day.

The physical way is as simple as it sounds.

Be physical…

Endurance.

Strength.

Rest.

Fuel.

Stretch.

Core.

Motivation.

Walk

Apple Watch fitness screen
Six miles before 930am. It just happens. It’s not a goal, not the mileage. Walking is the goal. When it’s with Cheryl, like today, it’s better.

We walked six miles together.

Then i walked four more miles in the yard.

In case it isn’t obvious, walking is good exercise.

Also in case it isn’t obvious, movement is what our body is designed for.

If we were designed to sit, we’d probably be a rock.
