health

Having a heart attack is probably low on your list of priorities. You want to avoid that health drama at all cost. Oh and you can increase your odds with a bit of exercise. We just have to do the work that is needed. That is where we kind of back off.

I know youth has its perks. You generally feel a lot better. Your health is there. Oh and the energy you young whipper snappers have. Am I right? You know what though, getting older is not all that bad. I mean it sure beats the alternative.

Are you used to wearing that mask yet? I know they are not the easiest to get used to. I have tried. Oh, and I have tried to understand people who are wearing one. That is sometimes the toughest part. I know that masks have become a normal part of our days.

We have so many reasons we want to get in shape. We do know it is better for us. We also get that it makes us feel better about ourselves too. So we look into ways to get in shape. We vow to eat better and try to exercise. If we don't have the time to exercise we will for sure get up and move around while at work. It's the least we can do.

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Right? Isn't that the line from "A Tale of Two Cities?" I would have to admit that is about how we feel about 2020 as a whole. I mean you get it right?

We have learned in the past few months the importance of washing your hands. You have to use soap and warm water and wash for at least 20 seconds. I think we have finally learned the value of that. We have learned about keeping our phones clean. We know we can now you antibacterial wipes to clean our phones. If we have learned anything we are finally being cleaner. What about your face?

The good news is that all of the tiki torches are in place, and I built the world's smallest fire pit. Just wish I had felt well enough to enjoy it all.

I know it seems like something that should be easy to do. Relax a little. Right? I mean all we have to do is stop totally what we are doing. Stop everything. Like we have that much time on our hands.

Who would ever think that there are so many ways we can get hurt while cleaning? Is this a way to stop doing just that? Well no. We need to find ways to not live in a mess but not kill ourselves in the process too.

Growing up I had plants all over the house. I felt like I was living in a jungle. My mom definitely had a green thumb. Me, not so much! I can successfully kill a cactus I am afraid. I heard time and time again how having all those plants were good for us. We had really clean air in my house thanks to them.

When this all started it seemed weird to see people wearing masks. I mean unless you were in a doctor's office or somewhere medical. I was in Dallas when this outbreak first hit. They were on lockdown earlier and longer than we were in Amarillo.

We are still spending a lot of time in our houses. Even though Texas and with that Amarillo is starting to slowly open up. A lot of us are taking it slow as well. So a lot of time is still close by.
