Life is not black and white

Wild Goose Island black and white — A black and white (mono) photo.

Life is not black and white, right?

A fair amount of grey area.

Except for this…

We are born and at some point we die.

Perhaps we can influence our health to allow us to better weather life’s storms.

PS. Yes, i know this is ~~difficult~~ challenging. Glacier National Park (nature, the wild) reminds me how truly challenging it is to survive from one day to the next.

Futile is a powerful word

biking near Disney World — Yesterday morning. We rode seven miles after jogging two mailboxes.

When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile. – conventional thinking

Not gonna lie, chocolate is wonderful.

A glass of red or white wine can be too.

You’re going to have to discover and decide if you can handle an occasional treat or if you are addicted.

Big difference.

i know.

Addicted to alcohol.

This stinks because occasional wine could be lovely, but i’ll never have that luxury again.

And by the way, i love the confidence my victory brings.

Chocolate? Not addicted to it, but could become addicted.

Futile is a powerful word.

Be careful what wisdom you embrace.

Some wisdom is really a clever excuse to cave.

You must pick your pain

tough runner's planks — Revisiting this photo from a couple days ago. Why? Planks can be difficult. Not having good core strength is difficult too. Pick one.

You must pick your pain.

Text conversation with a former Disney Institute colleague.

Recommended my Podiatrist to him.

He’s visited Dr. Curtis Wagner.

Making progress.

Mark asked me yesterday, “How long did it take for the pain to go away?”

“Two years, or more.”

Then i said, “Get the night boots and the custom orthotic inserts.”

He has trouble sleeping with the boots.

Who doesn’t?

Totally unnatural to wear boots to bed, night after night, year after year.

Hey, i get it.

Been there done that.

Is the hassle (pain) of night boots worse than the pain (hassle) of every step of your waking life?

Is food pleasure or fuel?

Is food pleasure or fuel?

It can be one or both.

But there’s one it cannot be by itself.

Perfectly ripened fruit is healthy and delectable.

Cake is delectable, but not healthy.

And so goes our days.

Choices.

Always choices.

Pleasure only is not a choice.

The joy and privilege of movement

working from home — Yesterday i wore the USA jacket during the bicycle ride to the 8am dentist appointment, anticipating it being cold inside. This photo captures the workday environment from 10am-5pm.

The joy and privilege of movement.

Taking that joy and that privilege for granted and waiting for “some day” to become physically vibrant again – like you were when you were a child – is a crime.

A crime.

If inactivity, poor eating habits, and poor sleeping habits were forced upon you, you’d feel cheated and you’d probably get angry.

Truth is, you’re probably forcing poor habits upon yourself, and that’s how you should feel, but you don’t.
