The Big Walk

I took an hour walk today. I am usaully fairly sedentary and very out of shape.
I did okay by my own standards.

What would you do if you still could?
If you don't use it you may lose it ... that's the popular saying anyway!

You can lose a lot of things in life ... jobs, loved ones, abilities like walking or sight.

I have the most general of living wills. Its hard to define those particular limits.
At this point in my life I say that as long as I was able to work a T.V. remote, play video games, read a book and surf the internet life would still be worth living.

I have never been a "goer". My most pleasurable moments are typically spent in my own company with only my own thoughts to ponder. My life so far has been an interior one.

The customer continues to talk on their cell phone and hold up everyone in th...

Priorities

When reviewing my life goals it would appear all the little things on the list  of things to do remains mostly unchanged.  1. Improve your health by weight loss. Eat better. Rest better. Move better. 2. Improve your finances by saving for the future. 3. Self improvement by learning about new things that interest you on an ongoing basis. 4.  Improve yourself to become a kinder, more gentle and wiser version of yourself. Well, improvement does happen over time to be sure. The types of improvements that happen are more dictated by circumstance than any on a  list. Life is the best editor there is.  It does not compromise. It knows what next needs to be done. I am now 55 years old. Looking at retirement by perhaps age 60. The last 4 years of my life have been mostly focused on helping my aging father manage the last stage of his life. For being now well into his 90th decade he is in extremely good health. The most disturbing aspect of this time for ...
