Begin where you are


So many years have gone by, so many missed opportunities to take a different path.  Yet, here I am at 52 at this place.  What will be my future?  Am I going to end up with major health problems?  Will I be living a life of declining health in my golden years, or will I change the direction of my course.

The dirty truth:

The numbers on the measuring tape

Bust 47 1/2
waist 42
bicep 17
hip 53 1/2
thigh 28 1/2


I remember after sustaining a concussion and realizing that I had loss some abilities in memory, and speed of thinking.  I felt so sad realizing that I had never appreciated what I had when I had it.  I took it all for granted.  So, I decided that I would enjoy what I can with my body as it is today - because one day I may not have the ability to do things and I would be sad realizing that I had never enjoyed my abilities while I had them.

John, Roxie and I went for a walk along the Jordan Parkway in the early morning, before the heat of the sun made it uncompfortable.  The air is filled with the auroma of Autumn.  Ducks floated peacefully on the river.  Flowers were coming to the end of their season.  Some were already dying, while others stood tall and bright fully embracing every day they have.

When we got back from our walk.  I volunteer to accompany John while he took Roxie for a walk in the neighborhood.  John & I even played a game of basketball on the playground at the elementary school.
