The Diet Dilemma
Don’t most Americans think that they need to lose weight……..someday? Then we get older, and someday passes. I mean, some of us have been fat for years! Why change now? But, we do complain about it, rather often. We would like to have good cardiac health and live forever, for starters! But here’s a profound […]
What Do You SAY?
What do you say about yourself? What are the words you use most often when you describe your endeavors, or what you may want to do in the future? Do you say things like: “I’m going to run for a political office next year, and I think I have a good chance of winning!” Or, […]
The Great Outdoors is Good For You!
“Get on outside and play!” How many times did we hear that one as children? I always assumed the command was generated by my skipping wildly in the kitchen, screaming at my brother in the living room, or using a bed for a trampoline. It could even have been for this unthinkable reason: Mom was […]
I WRITE BOOKS!
Just to establish my credentials up front, I come from nowhere, friends. My most intense learning experiences… and some of my most incredible failures, occurred when I lived off the grid in the rough hills of Western Wisconsin, no utilities, survivalist, sustaining myself with resources at hand. So you may have guessed that I […]
Are These Yours?
Hey, come on! Lighten up. Where I come from, lots of us wear these, especially if we are……say………over 50. They are comfortable, double-up as shorts (at least, as ‘short’ as we’d like them to be!) and have that loosey-goosey waist band. Now, if you’re comfortable fitting into these, by all means, do. If, on the […]
Getting Results!
What are the keys to getting fitness results, anyway? Most of us wish and hope for change on a multitude of levels. We may even pray for changes of a serious nature. But, let’s face it, friends, if we’re not willing to decide upon a plan for change, and put in the effort to make […]
So What’s the Answer to Depression? Huh?
Depression occurs over serious problems we cannot solve.
Down and Dirty Depression
SSorry friends, depression is a normal state of mind in many circumstances. Feeling sad and tired, wanting to sleep constantly, not enjoying social activities, eating too much or too little are all common components of normal depression. Sounds pretty uncomfortable. In fact, depression is considered an illness! Should I take a pill and fix it? […]
Turning Back Time
Come on! Admit it! A lot of us aging Baby Boomers would like to be younger. At least, we’d like to look younger. Potions, pills and even surgeries are big beauty business these days. And yes, friend, it costs money……….because it often works! The problem is this: That newly sculpted face is going to look […]
Why do we look so OLD?!
What’s the problem? Many of us in our 50’s and 60’s are starting to look so old! Oh, I realize some of us don’t want to flame our hair red or wear contact lenses or high heels or short and sassy skirts. But that’s not the reason. Bad habits are often the culprit. Smoking Smoking […]
