Well, it’s been quite a few years since I last posted, and I figured it was about time I wrote a few updates. Obviously, I have not become any younger. I have lost both of my parents and several relatives, lost my job twice (and am working on starting my own business) in the meantime). My health was generally good, although I could probably come up with symptoms of depression if I chose to look (I don’t!). However, the last year has seen me develop problems with sciatic nerve inflammation (maybe the piriformis muscle is at least partly to blame), probably from sitting too long. Then a week ago, I slipped while climbing the stairs and broke 3 ribs. According to the doctors at the emergency room I was lucky that our stairs are carpeted and that I didn’t hit my head. Yes, every cloud has a silver lining! Especially when I reflect on the fact that my sciatic nerve has not been bothering me for the last week.

My intention is to post more frequently as I believe it is important to share some of what I have learned over the last few years. If I can help at least one other person see some light at the end of the tunnel, I will have achieved my objective. Obviously, getting older does happen to us all. It doesn’t make life any easier, however. There will be times when getting older really seems to stink (or suck, whatever your favorite description of it is!). There will be times when it actually seems good to be getting older. I have learned a lot from my past. I have learned that I can influence my health with my diet. I have learned that there are relaxation techniques that really help – meditation, reiki, emotional freedom tapping, and so on. More to come on that later.

Feel free to comment on this post if you have specific suggestions for future topics.
