If Death Is The Only Acceptable Excuse, What About Boomers Living With Chronic Illness?

As powerful as the grip of a mighty Python

Ever been around codependence? Most people either don’t know, or won’t admit it. Neither good or bad, simply reality. In fact, we have all been through it or are going through it now. Breaking free from the chains of excuses is, or will be, one of life’s toughest obstacles.

Be Careful

For the past week, I “haven’t had time” to run, nor go to the gym. Too busy.

Days turn into weeks. Weeks into months. Months into years. (sound familiar?)

Be careful to preserve your health. It is a trick of the devil, which he employs to deceive good souls, to incite them to do more than they are able, in order that they may no longer be able to do anything.  – Vincent dePaul

Try Not To Complain

What good does complaining do? Does it make the complainer shine like a beacon of hope for others? Does it inspire people to give their absolute best?

You know, sometimes it might. Complaints can put things in the spotlight that may otherwise get swept under the rug. But it’s rare that complaining has a positive outcome.

Mostly, it just sounds like an excuse and a defense mechanism to shroud our fear of success.

Haven’t run in 7 days. Haven’t been to the gym in six. Pathetic.

Except for one thing. I get the opportunity to do them both. Today. How glorious is that? The woman in the photo perhaps can only dream of missing a week of exercise.
