Hiking, spa, massage and spending time with my wife. I did all of those combined today and it was brilliant.
Find things you love and go do them!

Ageing
What to do and what not to do. Some people accept ageing as a part of the life process while others don’t. Some people may even be happier as they age because they are living longer than some of their less fortunate friends. If they appreciate what they have rather than what they are losing, they will struggle less with the eventualities of life.
Your body and mind may not be what they were, and some decline is inevitable, but you can appreciate what you still have.
Staring mortality in the face is not an easy task. And it would seem natural to be angry, frustrated, upset, disillusioned and startled. It is hard to tell how you will respond to the situation when the endgame becomes obvious.
However, hold your chin up, enjoy what you’ve experienced and role model wisdom and appreciation rather than fear and panic. 10 billion people have gone before you and had to deal with the end one way or another. Take some time now to consider your viewpoints and make some plans. This will make the acceptance easier when the final curtain becomes inevitable.

Your Future Self
Live so your future self will thank you. Your future self in 10 minutes and 10 years should want to thank you for thinking of them.
Get your finances in great shape and your one-and-only body too. Keep your mind sharp and maintain great relationships.
Do things now for your future self’s pleasure and appreciation. Make the sacrifice and commitment now so the future you is delighted.

Patience Can Be Rewarding
Whether watching the Perseids meteor shower or the lions on the Serengeti, I’ve found being patient can be the most useful trait in getting to see rare events. Be patient.

Say Hi To Old Friends
Do this when you can. It’s always an amazing feeling.

Be Present
If working, work. If playing, play. When listening in a conversation, be there and really listen. Hear what they are saying or trying to convey. It’s important.

Enjoy Right Now
Enjoy that you are alive to do this. Sometimes things are good and sometimes they are bad. But you are fortunate to be alive and doing any of it.
Others have died or were never born and can’t even have your bad times. Find something positive in what is happening now for you. Then smile for that element. At least you’ll get through things with a story from it. And it could possibly lead to something much better.
Enjoy right now. It’s all you have.

Travel Fun
Well at least we got here. Nine hours late and not quite to the finish line yet but hopefully we’ll be at our destination with no additional challenges or delays.
Everyone has kept their cool pretty well, and sense of humour, which has been great. And apart from a very hairy landing in 60km/h winds, it’s been rather uneventful.
Take it as it comes if that is all you can do. You’ll get there.

After The Storm
I love the heat. And I love a little rain after the heat. Then the cooling breeze after that is just sensational. It’s a cool, fresh feeling and transports me to a Caribbean setting.
I love that pleasant moist breeze dancing through while it’s still so warm the windows are open and I’m in a short sleeved shirt and shorts. It’s a fabulous feeling.
I think of walking down La Quinta in Playa del Carmen or walking back along the beach. It’s a wonderful feeling and should be experienced as often as you can.
