The goal was to be on foot for 2000 miles, according to the Charity Miles application, in 2019.
I take my goal setting very seriously. This failure is not about willpower, it’s about time and priorities.

“It is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it – but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor”

Do you love your child any less because they are failing math, need braces to correct their teeth, or aren’t good at football? Of course not! All of us have our obstacles and difficulties, some more than others.

Your encouragement has inspired me to persevere. Ever since you met me, your patience, kindness and thoughtfulness, has never waned, not once. Your manner cultivates the learning process, and it’s uncanny how clearly you see.
Once in awhile, when I get mentally stuck, I wonder what you would do.
Thank you very much . . .

Yes, I would have liked to have seen a map that would describe all of the twists and turns of my life, beforehand. Maybe I could have made some better decision, maybe not. But that didn’t happen, no map. So, I did what I thought was my best, at the most important tasks, every day, all day, still do.

I haven’t been to the places in the two pictures above, but, I have been to many places, with beautiful views. One of the things that troubles me is the desire to always go back, visit again.
Dr. Cooper on Alzheimer’s

Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper, founder of the world-renowned Cooper Clinic, has been involved in health research and fitness for more than 50 years. “It is much easier, less costly and more effective to maintain good health than it is to regain it once it is lost. Preventing disease is the mission of Cooper Clinic and has been for nearly 50 years. The concept of prevention also applies to Alzheimer’s disease. Since many neurological diseases including Alzheimer’s have an incubation period of several decades along with the fact billions of research dollars have been spent unsuccessfully in trying to find a cure for Alzheimer’s, it is mandatory that we shift our focus and concentrate more on preventing or at least delaying the onset of this disease,” says Kenneth H. Cooper, MD, MPH.
