Moving differently brings me joy

Shelves full of boxed candy
Movie Theater snack options. i ain’t a saint, but i got decent common sense.

Moving differently brings me joy.

dad

In eighth grade i had a vision to become a Health and Physical Education teacher.

Why?

To help our world become healthier.

Even in the early 1970’s as a middle-schooler, i could tell society didn’t focus on physical vibrancy. Perhaps because i excelled at it.

And maybe i excelled at it because deeper inside me was a burning desire to excel at something and what child doesn’t like to play?

Playing outdoors, speed and strength, but especially speed, made you stand out.

What child doesn’t enjoy feeling extra special?

If you want to feel extra special, also known as extraordinarily blessed, in your later years, get and stay physically vibrant.

Improve physically, don’t preserve

If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

dad

Improve yourself physically.

The goal is more than becoming an active, intentionally healthy person.

The goal is to do that, then continuously improve beyond your wildest imagination.

Fresh set of eyes

Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel in the mountains
Please forgive me, can’t recall who made this and sent it to me. Pretty sure Jody Maberry took the photo in the Many Glacier valley.

Saw a wolverine, 2020. And again in 2022. Had never seen one since my first visit in 1973.

A ticking clock inspires me to act, not procrastinate.

So is excellent customer service.

Extending Grace wherever it is most likely to help.

Know your physical limits

Disney theming
Part of the Moana exhibit.
6-second video: Oh my.

The only physical limits we have are those we impose upon ourselves.

Many of our physical limits stem from our mental limits.

Most humans understand this mental-physical connection.

But to know and not do the reps, is to not yet know the real-life connection.

Self-inflicted ignorance, like self-inflicted regret, sucks.

Lucky is as lucky does

Eye doctor exam room
Yesterday, noon, November 27, 2023. Annual eye exam. Doing it to use insurance benefits for eye glass frames without corrective lenses. Once Retina issues are corrected, there will undoubtedly be a new lens prescription in 2024.

Lucky for me my temple is overwhelmingly healthy. The harder i work, the luckier i get.

dad

Well over 100 days ago, the eye doctor ordered me to be a couch-potato.

It’s been so long since my body has moved that i’m ‘sort of’ used to not moving.

Luckily, my thoughts focus on the opportunity to give my temple a hard-boot reset (like a computer hard reboot).

Also focused on eating decently and sleeping eight hours every night.

Nutrition and rest.

Two of the three big physical vibrancy buckets. Moving is the third.

Lucky to have figured out how to burn the ships and never return to physical survival.

Lucky to have discovered the term, and meaning of, vibrancy.
