Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy at Massage Envy (ME).

ME has a new meaning based on yesterday’s 90-minute therapy session.

It dawned on me yesterday that the reason for the two to three massages a month is because of ME.

ME…Massage Extravagance.

Meanwhile there is continued daily bombing of Ukraine, a rising civilian death toll and an astronomically insane refugee count (over 3-million and growing).

It is easy to feel guilt and embarrassment during the physical therapy sessions.

But then the ME (massage extravagance) reality that ME (Massage Envy) was inappropriately charging me every month for 24 months.

What began months ago, well before any sign of war, was just a guy trying to use up the two-year’s worth of credits that ME refused to refund – not even refund half.

Been in and out of running (slowly) pain-free. When a pain flareup happens, Michelle does her therapy magic on the hot spot. So far it’s working.

Be active

Animals live in a 24/7 gym. Being active is a matter of life or death.

Trust your actions, not your intentions.

Even when it’s freezing?

You rarely hear me complain about freezing temperatures.

Why?

Because we made a conscious decision to live where cold temperatures are rare. Hence the complaint rarity.

This morning we awake to 35 degrees.

Reminded of and reflecting on how living someplace where this is common for months at a time is never an option for us.

Do what you should do, when it should be done, even if it’s hard.

Waking to year-round sub-tropical temperatures makes today’s exception a rare inconvenience, not a lifelong pain in the butt.

A leader pursues a wellness frontier

Like it was yesterday.

A leader pursues a wellness frontier. A manager pursues a wellness checklist.

How do i stay motivated to be active for a lifetime versus fussing over the best color for exercise shoes.

How far from acceptable

quote about aging and caring
The quote and the image may not match. Social media is still a frontier concerning accuracy with facts, copyrights, etc.

How far from acceptable standards are you willing to go?

Me?

To the paradoxical other end of 100% acceptable.

The extra-inch versus the extra-mile.

Mid Life Celebration versus Mid Life Crisis.

Balance is not a myth versus balance is a myth.

When you change what you see, what you see changes.

Never look at what works. We already know it works, why it works, and the results.

Always look at what no one has tried, why no one has tried it, and potential results.

Remember, it’s only impossible until you do it the first time.
