Health

Health is a mighty important topic now that I am 54 and hurt all over. When I was a kid and was not the least bit concerned about growing old, I really pulled some stupid tricks. Now I get to remember all the foolishness, while trying to accomplish very simple tasks in pain.

When I was fifteen I was certain I would never see twenty one. At twenty one, thirty seemed an impossibility. I was thirty three when I met the love of my life, and I wanted to live to be a hundred. That may not be possible, but I want to give it my best shot. My main objective is to live life pain free, and to never be a burden on Jean. Lately, that has been a huge problem and it has not been solved yet.

I believe attitude has much to do with well being. It is hard to keep a right spirit when everything else is falling apart, but it is a must. I believe a person can go around with a 'woe is me' attitude and bad things will happen. Conversely, I believe a man can will himself to feel better. Not sure how that works.....but it has been done in my life. I just need to find the right mixture. The right foods, combined with the right amount of exercise, combined with the right amount of rest is THE recipe for health. I hope it is not too late for me.
