"According to a survey of 100 centenarians from UnitedHealthcare, nearly half do some form of strength training at least once a week to keep muscles strong, 36% participate in stress relief activities such as meditation, 67% say they eat a healthy diet, and 42% report walking or hiking on a regular basis. About 30% say they still like to work in their garden."

Good news for late bloomers.
I feel vindicated.
Somewhat.

I was watching the classic movie "Sunset Boulevard" last night. Throughout the film, she is referred to as an aging star and someone past their prime, and I'm like, ok she must be elderly.

Nope! Late in the film, we learn she is 50. That's a little below *my* age. I may be old and personally past my prime, but this age bracket is not that as a whole!

December 1st and the stupid Elf on the Shelf is back to torment me for the next 25 days.

It's my responsibility to move that asshole around the house before bed so my kid thinks he's magical. In exchange, my kid suddenly becomes the best version of themselves for the rest of the month.

Joys of parenting...

Life Lessons from (Very Old) #BowheadWhales
A #gene that helped #bowheads adapt to frigid Arctic waters also granted them extraordinary longevity. Could it help #aging humans?
Some #whales caught in late 1900s had old #harpoon points lodged in their blubber that dated to the mid-1800s. By measuring the molecular damage that accumulates in the eyes, ears and eggs of bowhead whales, researchers have estimated that bowheads live as long as 268 years!

Good day!

Time to admit to myself that I’m sicker than I thought. Really, though, it’s a bad cold. I took meds yesterday morning & they knocked me out for hours.

Then, I finished the narrative outline. I am behind on chores, which is rankling me.

Be everwell.

A large rock on the trail is covered in a variety of mosses and lichens, the rock itself sitting atop dirt and pine needles.

Music is a time machine

@m

A song that takes me back is Can’t Get You Out of My Head by Kylie Minogue – not because it is a fav or anything, it was just playing everywhere that year. Whenever I hear it I’m that little girl again.

I Am The DJ asked about music that takes you back based on Geben’s post tagged #Music on Open Mentions. Tell us about the music that takes you back.

Good day!

Snow storm over Lolo Peak almost a week ago. It was an omen. Now, all the mountains are white.

The wind was bitter cold in my face when I took this photograph.

May we, together, be the storm and coat the planet with compassion and freedom.

Be everwell.

The view looks across rolling terrain of golden grass with a few scattered pines. On the left are the lower, wooded slopes of Mount Dean Stanton. On the extreme right is the broad valley of Missoula. In the distance, dense clouds sit upon Lolo Peak dropping snow, yet it’s blue sky above them.

My wife's idea of Black Friday shopping was scoring deals for stuff for the entire family. Hats, mittens, accessories for the living room, frames, mirrors, throws...

I... I spent hundreds of dollars on action figures and toys for my own collection...

#Today 29

Good day!

Yesterday started okay, but a neck ache got so out of control that I was too dizzy to stand & it cost me the one meal I’d eaten.

I then slept over 12hrs.

The dizziness has passed, the neck better, but I’m cautious. Water only while I continue with the book.

Be everwell.

An old horse trough that’s rotten , plants growing in it and lichen growing on it, sits in a meadow of golden grass where there’s a tiny pool of water. The meadow is surrounded by thick pine forest.

The FAKE NEWS falsely claims that I’m aging!
I’m so youthful, that lie is enraging.
My stamina’s great,
My brain is first-rate,
And I’m virile, so brace for rampaging.
