Concerned About Growing Old?

This growing old is getting tough. Nearing 73 I am taking a couple meds and my back hurts a lot. That is not the hard part. The hard things is watching family and friends age. Some of my friends take as many pills in a day as I do in a month.
Last week I visited my college room mate. He is in end stage Lewy Body Dementia. Of our little group of buddies, he and I are the last.
When I started my beekeeping I was the youngest person in the club. Now I am the second oldest in the club.

It's worse still when you have more dead friends and relatives than living ones.

Maybe you and I should be trying something like this before doing our exercises 🤔
 
I walked the Indoor Mile this afternoon.

It's about the 3rd time over the last 3-4 weeks. I can't say that I'm doing daily exercise but the health professionals say 5 days a week. I've had that, mostly with outdoor work. The mile stretches my arms with all the reaching but that and the walk are mostly about lifting my pulse to what is supposed to amount to cardio exercise.

Yes, some stretching of other body parts would help. And, you bet! Good Balance would sure make moving around safer for me.
