Like Tevye I'm Reassessing The Situation

 September 20, 2024

Is it time for a little self-serving altruism?

Hi, it seems to me as I approach my 73rd birthday that I need to change my priorities. 

There are two distinct types of actions: One group drains my energy.; The other group strengthens me. In our purely dualistic world, it is simply not possible to only do one of the two. However, it is possible to prioritize one over the other.

Seems to this old man's fastly (yes I know fastly is archaic but as I've repeatedly mentioned I am old-school) deteriorating mind that I need to change my basic routine so as to place the strengtheners' earlier in my day.

Which is what I have attempted to do today. Cardio vascular workout early in the morning followed by tai chi stretching exercises. Then and only then do I get to the garden, the news, the blog and other assorted drainers. 

It needs a foolisher man than myself to declare to the world that this new routine will change everything. So, I'll just say that I'm going to be reassessing the situation over the next few days? weeks? months? I'll let you know how things are going.
