My fitness routine has been inconsistent, partly because of injury, but mostly because of inertia and negative self-talk. Last Sunday (my 74th birthday) on my way home from a week-long getaway, I committed to eating more healthfully and walking daily in order to be stronger and to feel more accepting of myself when I’m 75.

I’ll admit it’s painful to be in this state of mind at my age. But the benefits of becoming fitter and healthier will be worth it, no matter what age I am. And if I am to continue to age in place, the ability to do for myself is vital.

I thought of you and your consistency message many times driving home a week ago. And I’ve made progress this week. I will build on that progress going forward. Thank you.

We know each other well enough by this point for you to know that makes my heart smile dash – what you say about thinking about me and consistency.

I meet you where you are around what you say about the fact, it’s painful to be in this state of mind and also seize upon the fact we know each other to say we both know it’s never too late. How impressive you are consciously choosing to consistently shift and move forward at 75.

I know you’ve got this because I’ve seen your quiet determination in other areas
