Feeling It

Leave a comment

Feeling It. The “It” being my age. I’m in better shape than I’ve been in for at least 2 decades. The trouble is I sometimes pay a price for physical activity. Not all the time but often enough it makes me want to cut back. I don’t push myself hard each day and never when I’m already in pain.

I’m conflicted because sometimes the exercise leaves me feeling better. And I know it’s good for my overall health. I guess I have to work on techniques and the proper exercises and listen to my body a little better.

Some days I’m as bright and flexible as these flowers. Other days I’m like that stone they are encased in. Right now stone is winning.

I’ll give it another go later after some more treadmill time. I should wait till the system can replace the 4 tubes of blood they siphoned from me and work out later.

Maybe I should have started with the core instead of with the extremities.

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • It’s amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it. Even with one that isn’t 100% anymore.
  • Anthonys Pizza and Pasta House in Clarksville is one of my go-to Italian places from now on.
  • I’m blessed to have such supportive children.
  • Time for baseball season to get exciting.
  • I’m incorporating more learning into each day again. I was getting lazy there for a bit.

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
