shingaOn the health front, by the way... it is so, so easy for me to forget how young I am. With pain levels the way they are... I don't know, it's not that I literally think I'm over 50/60 but it's easy to feel TIRED. It's easy to forget that my body hasn't aged 30 years overnight.
So when I look at the fact that SMALL diet changes suddenly shifted my cholesterol and sodium levels in normal ranges... when I see that I actually have a strong immune system... when I see that I quickly bounce back and recover from some things... I don't know, it's a pleasant wake-up call every time. I AM STILL YOUNG. I am still strong and vibrant. Hell in some ways more so than some people my age because my body has faced more and fought more. It's been through hell and fire and war with itself and come out the other side still able to fight.
I'm still young. I'm not as weak as I constantly convince myself I am. My body is still able to fight and I'm not done yet. My body is strong, I'm still a warrior in a lot of ways. I'm not done yet. Not for a long, long while.
