As much as we humans consider ourselves to be invincible and so much in control of our world, the truth is, there are forces out there that are tougher than we and just about completely out of our control. They are Mother Nature and Father Time. Mother Nature has her job to do and she does it very well. Though this global warming (myth) is something we've discussed for several years now, it's safe to say that the seasons still follow the same old pattern, humid and hot in the summer and cold and snowy in the winter, especially here in NYC. We may have the technology to affect weather ever so slightly, but it's still the same old show.
As for Father Time, we all know that life goes by at the same exact pace, no matter what we do to live in a healthy or unhealthy fashion.After many years of not giving a damn, I, personally have focused on eating healthy and losing weight and getting in better shape, for a few reasons, but most importantly, because I looked in the mirror and said, "Hey, I'm 40ish, what the hell am I doing with my life" but not just with a focus on an underachieving career or lack of any romantic life, it was how out of shape and overweight I was and how I needed to focus on it because it would get more difficult to improve with advancing age. I've noticed that despite the fact that I'm 45 lbs. lighter than six months ago, I still have aches in my back and knees, but they are less than before and I do have more energy and pep in my step, which is needed in my battle with the all powerful Mother Nature and Father Time. May the force be with you!!
