TheBanyanTree: My #OnwardIGo Musings (Barb Edlen)

[Teague, Julie Anna]

Yeah, I guess I should amend my statement to "We can't give up what we love most, as long as we still CAN do it."  Of course there are going to be things we can't do anymore at some point.  I could train for a marathon.  My heart is in it.  I'd love to do another one.  But I know for a fact it would hurt my body and preclude me doing other things, like walk.

I'd rather jump out of planes. It's a lot less work. But I've done it a few times, and my body is beyond that now, so I'm good with it. I don't feel like I'm missing anything -- life is an adventure as it is.
