Trying to summon the motivation

My step dad is 86. He still works in his wood shop every day year round.

My neighbor is 87 and he still cuts his own fire wood, cares for his wife and hand loads a small trailer with gravel and fills potholes on his mile long gravel driveway. A few weeks ago he asked me to fire up my hoe and excavate some new inventory in his ancient rock pit.

My mom is 70 and still walks 6 miles a day unless there is a severe storm here in Oregon.

I think the key is that you have to keep moving. All else be damned, just keep moving. If things aren't going your way apply more effort.

I'm not sure if you are aware that the color yellow is clinically proven to make you happy.

Perhaps you should put on a yellow sweater.

Report back and let us know if it works for you.
