Two Things You Can Do Right Now to Disrupt Aging!
I’m 76 years of age. I’m on the road most of the year with my caravan trailer in-tow. I have friends or meet new ones wherever I go and I feel absolutely fantastic. People have asked me how I do it or where my energy comes from. It’s quite simple really, I learned two things in my late 50s that changed my path and I’m sure my health for the better.
It isn’t rocket science, it doesn’t take a lot of energy but it does take awareness and commitment. It…
…ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive! Now I’m singing that chorus (well, singing is really stretching it) and wiggling my butt every time I wash my hands. The ABC song didn’t quite do it for me anymore.
I did not figure that out myself. I decided I wanted to try out an infrared sauna and I was talking to the woman who owns the place and she told me that when she taught CPR they used to sing that while pumping the shit out of those dummies. …

I never really thought about what I would feel like when I was older. I had goals that I wanted to achieve, and I thought about decades and what I would like to accomplish in the next ten years but not how I would feel or look or what I would think about.

And just a little because every one of my senses band together on high alert for smells, sounds, color, movement, and a sense of place.

Going ATVing.
You’re what??? Watching TV? No, going ATVing. Nooo. You’re too old. Don’t they have an age limit on those things? Are you nuts? Well yes, I am. So?
I guess at 75 I should expect that kind of conversation. But it grates on me. Next time I will keep it to myself and talk about it afterwards. Who needs the negative opinions of others, just because they would be scared shitless to go?
I had this great opportunity while attending a speech writing workshop in Dominican Republic a while back. We had a free day in the middle…
I have this small, 17 foot home on wheels that I pull with my Subaru Outback. I picked her up in Quebec. The guy at the factory gave me a two hour tutorial with a French accent. I was in love. The little trailer and with the dude too. I mean who wouldn’t love to learn about how to hook up the poop hose or how to break off all your fingernails hitching up the trailer or rearrange the cushions so you had a king sized bed that looked like a puzzle? Not me. I was all ears.
