Eat Dessert First
Reading Time: 5 minutesLast week I wrote about a book called 20,000 and Counting that affected me profoundly and gave me a good kick in the pants. Since writing the post, I read the book twice more. I want the concepts he talked about in it to become as natural to me as breathing. I’ve… Read more

Life is Good
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWe just finished another major election cycle. Part of the country is jubilant, part is grieving, and some small part are probably oblivious. If you’re jubilant, be kind. Remember how you felt 4 years ago, and check where you are now. Most of your worst fears didn’t materialize. If you’re grieving,… Read more

A Kick in the Pants

The Pain of Rebounding
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWe got the rebounder I mentioned in last week’s short post.

Jackpot!
Reading Time: 2 minutesTwo things this week happened that made me feel like I won the lottery. In a post a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned my resistant high blood pressure and a supplement I’d heard might help treat the cause rather than the symptoms. I started taking that supplement about 2 weeks ago,… Read more

I Want to Learn to Meditate
Reading Time: 2 minutesAll this health stuff the last couple of posts reminded me that one thing I really want to do is learn to meditate. They say (you know…they…the ones who aren’t me) that meditation has a lot of health and welfare benefits. I especially like the list that includes lowering stress, improving focus,… Read more

Danger! – The Aggressive Pursuit of Comfort
Reading Time: 5 minutesDon’t we wait our entire working lives for retirement? Not consciously of course, especially when we’re younger and in the prime of that aforementioned life. But we’re aware from the time we begin working that we need to think about that upcoming season called retirement. That awareness is primarily concerned with means… Read more

The Truth About Aging
Reading Time: < 1 minuteSomewhere in our internet browsing adventures recently Randy and I discovered Gary Brecka. Brecka has an unusual, fascinating, and compelling story about how he came to start a podcast called The Ultimate Human. He’s a non-physician human biologist whose life work has been the study of how the human body does,… Read more
