Healthspan video on aging and what it means to you and me…

 

 

To know our health is our greatest asset yet not do consistent, lifetime demonstrable effort to be well is hypocritical, in my opinion.

What’s your opinion?

PS. i remember when the guilt prompted me to change. It was 1999. i was 40.
This is worth repeating…To know our health is our greatest asset yet not do consistent, lifetime demonstrable effort to be well is hypocritical.

Note: For the past year or so, i’ve flossed my teeth before bedtime. What no one realizes is that roughly 50% of the time i don’t feel like doing it because i’m too tired and i rationalize, “Missing one day won’t hurt.” Missing one day makes it easier to miss another…so i’ve drawn a line in the sand and refuse to miss a single day.

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?

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

DCL Disney character party
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.
