I remember mu Mom telling me she was going to quit smoking in her mid-eighties. She had been smoking since she was thirteen. I just responded to her by saying, "Why, you won".

So true. My Doctors keep asking me how I feel. I tell them I don't know as I don't know how I should feel at my age.
But I feel better then most people at my age I am told.

My goal is to stay as active both physically and mentally as I can...

Never to old to learn something new... Toy

Some thoughts from a blog I follow....

The January Trap

Beware of the "must purge my body" mentality that millions adopt every January 1st. If you get up New Year's morning with the resolution to drop a few pounds and get healthier here's what not to do:

•Do not replace your regular breakfast with a green juice that makes you wince while you chug it down.
•Do not give one or two hours of your precious time to the gym exhausting yourself.
•Do not come home from said gym, choke down another juice concoction (that took half an hour to make and another half hour to clean the juicer) then make yourself a "mini me," calorie stripped meal (telling yourself you can do this for life).

If you don't absolutely love what you eat day 1 of the new year, then it WON'T be how you will eat for the rest of your life. And short term diets don't work – we all know that. Not only do they not work – they harm. They mess with your metabolism and they cause a sense of failure when inevitably you give them up because life gets in the way of all your good intentions.

I have learned at my age you eat to live only, you don't live to eat. I find diets don't work as you pound right back up + 2 or 3 more pounds.

I am thankful that my dogs (and cats) will bug me for their daily walk.... Not sure I would make it on the cold, rainy/snowy days.. Toy
