Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five interconnected sites.
The reason we fear (yes, it’s true) getting healthy and well is simple. Once we reach that healthy state, we’ll be challenged our entire lives to stay that way. Who’s got that level of commitment? Not many. Scary.
Insight: Mental attitude, physical health, spiritual wellness, career stability, and personal administration are all hard work. Get used to it.

It is extraordinarily uncommon to be fully conscious and in the moment all day, every day.
Why? No seriously, why?
If being thankful is such a blessing, why do we spend so little time doing it? Perhaps the same can be said for being healthy.
If being healthy is such a blessing, why do we spend so little time getting and staying healthy?
I think it’s because we over commit, over schedule, and, under plan. There’s a saying, “Failure to plan is planning to fail.”
I’m addicted to thankfulness. Grateful for the ability to think about issues like this. Excited to have daily challenges. Encouraged by slow and steady progress toward reconciliation.
Yes indeed, thankfulness is a drug. Don’t forget to take your medicine.
Mid life show off? Depends. It’s all in the eye of the beholder isn’t it? Recently, I heard someone make a few snide remarks about me – “What a showoff. No shirt. Trying to impress people”.
“Dude, are you talkin’ to me”?, I asked impatiently.
“I guess I am”, the person said, also sounding impatient.
“I’m sorry, I’m not trying to show off. Went for a run earlier this morning”.
He then says, “Why not wear (baggy) gym shorts”?
To which I respond, “I’m a sprinter, and sprinters never wear baggy shorts. Ever watch swimmers”?
He quickly says, “Yes, with the skin tight pants”. “Exactly”, I say.
What was interesting was this:
Amazing what a little patience, creativity and self-control can do to get better results – skills instilled in me for the past 25 years. Hope it didn’t look like I was showing off.
