Do this, do that, think this, think that, and you will feel younger, better, healthier...

I AM SICK AND TIRED AND I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!
You see, it seems to be a continuing conscientious thread throughout the advertisements and nightly news segments that I hear that you must eat this or workout this way or think this or do this or do that or think that, STOP ALREADY!
My head is spinning!

How many of you out there with a fatal disease or chronic one would not like to feel better? I can’t hear you! WRITE LOUDER!
It’s just too much… and I am getting fed up with it...

Come on people, we didn’t do this to ourselves and magic wands of healthy eating thinking or exercise are not going to change our situation, but those charlatans will make more money from those of us who sadly are too weak and perhaps grasping at straws to think for ourselves and believe in the snake oil that you seem to want to sell to all of us!
I implore those still of sound mind, don’t buy into it!
Some things we all must admit they’re just no cures for.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not telling any of us to give up.
But for some reason there has been a national campaign to show us how to live our lives even when we have non-curable illnesses or heaven forbid ones that are fatal.
I suppose if you have the ability to go to a Zoomba class then in my book you’re not that sick anyway, and I say go for it!
Sure take the Aquacize class that I used to teach but due to exacerbations with the heat I can’t take them or give them either; same for the Zoomba.
It’s so nice to see cancer SURVIVORS in those classes at ninety; I should live so long, but not likely with my family history and my medical issues.

Not to be negative but why can’t you all understand and accept us for what we are?
Ill people, but not just biding our time, some of us have wonderful jobs, and exciting hobbies and still love to see or hear from friends and family and isn’t that when you get down to it… what real living is all about?
Caring for one another and not trying to change people, some thing is nice in life when we can appreciate the time we have on this planet with people we love and care about.
We tell our children daily to not stare at anyone who may look different from us an amputee, a person in a wheelchair, or someone with a cane being used or walkers or artificial limbs, but then we tell those very people that they have to use those things to act a certain way…buck up, be brave, don’t complain, another case of martyr-ism going horribly wrong, hmmm?

Acceptance is an interesting term we as human beings have made leaps and bounds in that arena caring and trying to understand different races, cultures and ethnicity, but there are still many mountains of understanding that we still have to climb.
For illness it is no different.
People, many get nervous and uncomfortable even discussing imperfections of the human condition and this case not being absolutely healthy, although many have some imperfection themselves, but it is a taboo topic in most circles.
Gosh, here we are in the twenty-first century and we have less difficulty talking about sex-ting and men and women’s genitals being sent as screensavers on cells than illness!
Does this seem wrong to you or is it just me?
I guess because, balance disorders, lack of bodily fluids’ function control, blindness, and numbness and limbs failing and on and on… to you is just not that SEXY! SO SORRY!
WHOA! Eureka I got it, and that is SOOO TRUE!
That’s the problem.
I’m an idiot!

Now I got it.
Add sex into anything, but wait when you are numb there you don’t have sex, since it takes feeling for that to really work for human beings…
But isn’t SEX really in the brain?
And if that noggin is still thinking theoretically one who thinks must be full of it!
What is that you ask?

Sex that is…GOT YOU!
On that way over the top realization let me be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you kindly to count all those blessings and to share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?


PS Nice try, but gosh if you want someone to feel badly about feeling badly keep telling them that they are not trying hard enough…and that’s why that makes me angry all those healthy oldies doing what I wish I could, but can’t.
