I once had a better exercise / fitness side of my life.  I’m trying to get it back.  ![a1drjohnthumb.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdbXqH7q8xdGDP8jALNUmf89QLVJaEHv5rUgMuDtc5grD/a1drjohnthumb.JPG)

With age comes a slow degradation of youthful energy and vigor.  This is especially true if you have a wife and children.  Extra people require extra time.  Most of us have slipped into poor physical habits and condition.

Yesterday I took a step to fight back. I will let you know.

On a different story, the teen with the need for open heart surgery made it through surgery without complications.  Many people are hopeful of a full recovery.  Some of us are thankful to a merciful God.

So the boy and I have more time to face.  He has a mending heart.  I have an electric scooter.  

The common point is freedom to move and grow stronger.  The ability to move is a great blessing. If you have it, be thankful and use it.

Here is today’s beauty.
