What limits does aging have on our ability to remain active?

Told our 15-year old last night, “It’s astonishing to think i can run 8-10 miles with no issues at (almost) 57 years old.”

To me it’s nothing special.

But if i was a much younger me looking at anyone in their late 50’s doing that it would have seemed unreal.

Not sure why it doesn’t seem unreal now.

What i wouldn’t give to have some insider tips

Some “people” never age.

 

We had 19 Family members from my wife’s side join us at the Senior Living Facility for Easter lunch.

The oldest, my Mother-In-Law at 93 and the youngest at three months old.

Plus everything in between (5, 15, 17, 20’s, 50-70’s).

We had some good laughs.

We all had some private thoughts.

And the whole time, i reflected on how important a balanced approach to life seems to be. Is it the best way to age?

Obviously, i could be insanely off course because no one is advising me and i have zero experience being a 60, 70, 80, or 90-year old.

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.

Look in your pantry

Everyone was unhurt.

 

Eating late and eating sugar-laden foods are symptoms of a lack of hope some deeper disharmony.

Look in your pantry.

What are the predominant food choices and quantities, particularly the snack-type items?

The decision for our food choices starts long before we open our pantry door.

Ever ask yourself, “Why do i pick these, and why so many of them?”

What does this say about my commitment to aging well?

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?
