As I get older I have gotten more in touch with my inner self and more in tune with my well being as a whole. I imagine most people do, you become more aware of the creaking knees the sore back is sorer than ever almost every joint in your body is aching or worse no longer moving as far as before. Most people have the conversation when the go for their yearly checkup some of it get dismissed as just growing old so they accept it. Not I, and I am old 66 to be exact and I will tell you it’s not the new 56 it’s 66 all day long, but I believe I am aging well. My mind is still sharp, kinda my body still does what I ask it to do there’s morning stretches, meditation,mindfulness followed by a run or walk or both usually in the 4-5 mile range then there’s an hour or two in the gym with heavy weights every other day and weights everyday. Afternoons are another short run or longer walk and a swim then whatever chores I have to do, so my body is doing great I maintain good nutritional habits mostly, vitamins no prescriptions. But I will tell you the biggest question I have for myself is why every morning over the past 20 years I wake up do my morning routine all the while there is a soundtrack playing in my head, thankfully it’s louder than the ringing in my ears, but I get blown away by some of the songs that play, sometimes more than one like this morning it was Bruce Springsteen three great songs playing in rotation, yesterday it was Bon Jovi it’s mostly the music I grew up with, but every now and then I hear EMINM or 50 cent and honestly I barely ever listen to rap. So my takeaway on this is that music makes life better I think most people would agree there is nothing worse than living inside your head with no way out. Maybe I’m not crazy after all.
