The Pain of Rebounding
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWe got the rebounder I mentioned in last week’s short post. I got on it thinking I would bounce for just the 2 minutes they said was all it took to do a complete flush of the body’s lymphatic system. Two minutes! Heck….anyone can do anything for two minutes, can’t they!?… Read more

Rebounding?
Reading Time: 2 minutesSometimes something you’ve never heard of before comes into your world, and then you see it everywhere even though you never noticed it before. That’s what happened recently with rebounding. Randy sent me a Facebook reel (that’s a really short video, in case you didn’t know) about how rebounding is really good… Read more

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.

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.

Brecka has an unusual, fascinating, and compelling story about how he came to start a podcast called The Ultimate Human.

Reading Time: 2 minutesI happened upon a Substack (essentially a blog hosting service) post this week from a favorite internet writer of mine, Seth Keshel. You can read it here. The post is about the 86,400 seconds of time each of us have to spend every single day of our lives. I’ve written about spending… Read more

My Sweaty Genius
Reading Time: 5 minutesLast Friday I wrote a short blog post about one of my favorite quotes: Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. He (Thomas Edison) should know. Everyone has heard of him. As one of the greatest and most prolific American inventors, Edison acquired 1,093 patents. That’s a hell of a lot of… Read more

Inspiration vs Perspiration
Reading Time: 2 minutesOne of my favorite quotes comes from Thomas Edison. He said, “Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.” If I were younger and more ambitious, (in other words, still looking to be more successful) I’d have that quote hanging prominently on one of my walls. That insight is true in… Read more

When a Book Isn’t Worth Your Time
Reading Time: 2 minutesWhy does it feel so wrong to put a book on the discard pile (or in the trash) if you don’t want to finish it? No matter how appealing a book looks, or the synopsis on its jacket sounds when you acquire it, sometimes it just isn’t worth your time and energy… Read more
