True story

I met an 88 year old Korean lady yesterday at my 2.5 lake walk. She’s had 3 surgeries- two in spine and one in neck. I don’t know why she had those surgeries.

however, she’s 88 ! and she walks the 2.5 mile lake loop with big hills every day!

I don’t think she takes any medicine.

her mind is sharp and her posture is excellent and she said how her doctor wants her to do water walking and not do this Lake but she refuses that and loves this daily lake loop walk of 2.5 miles.

This was a very inspirational story.

She is so happy with this walk.

I think the conclusion of the story is that the doctors are not the patients. They really often do not know what is best for our lifestyle and wishes and happiness and health. It’s our lives!

we have to as much as we can, listen to our own wants and needs and what our bodies are telling us.
