It never too late afterall...

The morning sun always greets me in an oval pavement of a newly develop subdivision, about a kilometer away from our place. A venue where in a couple of morning joggers like me used to hang up from 6:00 till 8:00am on a daily basis...

Unlike me, age wise obviuosly, some of them are over 60 years old in which for health reason, are in self program habit of doing this morning rituals to revitalized their vigour and strength maybe on a doctors advice to note.

So as to inspired them, I even join them in a combination of a western, and tai-chi style of calisthenics.

Some of these old reliables have seen my teenage life till now at present, with some reminding me of the youthful activities, particularly the sport I engage in before. Inspite of these inception, you can't help but notice that within themselves hides that sentimental fear of what is like to be suffering from ailments which moslty are cardiac and respiratory in nature.

Being such a health buff, really paid off when you reach these days that ages matters, having a strong and healthy body far away from sickness truly derived and reaped from the foundation of a good sport. Indeed this is unregretful and very benificial on my behalf.

Consoling them and boosting their ego is never too late, and this everyday excercise will add some more years in their withering souls. In which I know for a fact that all of us are heading, but on a one after the other basis.

It's never too late for everything that moves. Hit the road and sweat it out!, Old pal!

I luv waking up early. In fact, my favourite time would be to sit there alone surrounded by flowers or plants at 5:30am. You get to smell the fresh air and appreciate everything that ever exist in this world. It reminds me of my old home before i moved to this new house. Of course, i do like the idea of playing chess with the old folks. I also enjoy playing musical instruments with them. My workplace is very near to the old folks. I get to see them playing chess, flutes, and "er-hu".

True,
the habits you have when young could keep you healthy when older.
The young who don't exercise may look fit on the outside, but are building up plac on their artery walls even so.
