I think back to my rough start in life: a childhood challenged by body casts, leg braces and years of physical therapy. As a young adult, I intuitively knew that the best way to get stronger was to have an active lifestyle and not become stuck behind an office desk for 8 to 10 hours a day. Switching to homesteading almost 30 years ago has done wonders. Today I can garden full time, walk, hike or snowshoe for miles, handle hundreds of pounds of wood on a regular basis and all the little jobs required by this chosen lifestyle. That said,I am not as strong as I really want to be; I respect and accomodate my limitations (If I fell at the store I, most likely, would need that help getting up!) But I am grateful for how I've improved over the years. Being active is the best therapy and anti-aging medicine--besides eating properly. And you, my dear, are a sterling example to all of us! I tip my hat to you! -M Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-9317842903149422962017-01-20T13:27:32.244-06:002017-01-20T13:27:32.244-06:00Michelle - I did go and find her before I checked ...Michelle - I did go and find her before I checked out.

I'm sure my grandson will become a plastic surgeon when he grows up. So when he's done taking care of me with the nip and tucks, I'll send him your way. In the mean time, I think both you and I need new glasses :-)<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Sandy Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-71189739877050828502017-01-19T21:58:29.607-06:002017-01-19T21:58:29.607-06:00You are such a hoot!
