Spring Break?

Stevie Wonder album
When does higher ground ever sound like a bad idea?

Be as righteous as you can be without projecting righteousness.

On this trip to Louisville it is easy to not think about exercising.

Why?

Doctor’s orders.

In this case, the higher ground is the act of sitting around.

Sitting around feels like cheating myself.

Let’s see what the doctor says in three days.

Time to fly

iPhone alarm clock
First time in a while with less than eight hours sleep. Why? Tried to catch the men’s NCAA college basketball national championship between Purdue and UConn. And, need a 5:00am wake-up to prep for airport departure.

The only limits i have are those i impose upon myself.

dad

Makes sense to think it’s impossible to age with physical vibrancy.

Why?

Name someone you personally know who’s between 60-100 years old who is.

Habits.

You must hone scalable, good and decent health habits for a lifetime.

And practice intentional, proactive ‘maintenance’ checks the same way you check your cars, home, finances, etc.

Adventure on the wall

Adventure vibes. Reminder. Promise. Truth.

If you want an adventurous life, lean into it. You are the driver.

Being blind for eight months is not an adventure.

Well, it is an adventure.

But blindness has cons and pros.

For starters, i never knew (and still don’t) if this is temporary or permanent.

Sleep is medicinal

The day is won in the morning. The morning is won the night before. Sleep has a starring role in victory. As does planning, using your prioritized priorities.

Master the art of sleeping well. Why? Because the alternative may be torture.

Stayed up late to watch Iowa and UConn battle for the NCAA Women’s championship game berth.

Been a long time since i slept until 7:45 AM.

But i did it.

Why?

Motivation.

For what?

For the potential to undo the blindness in the left eye.

Driven by the desire to heal the eye from the Cataract surgery 48 hours ago.

By the way, the game lived up to its hype.

As sleepy as i was, it was impossible to nod off.

Today is another great day for another great day.

Cataract followup, body

Photo: Last night. Focused on eight hours each night post surgery especially. It’s always the goal. But now it’s a heightened priority. If you can’t exercise, then focus on rest.

Regaining eye sight after eight months of blindness is extraordinary.

dad

The eye-sight honeymoon is off to a great start.

Grateful.

Remarkably so.
