I'm now over 9 years older than my father was when he had his first heart attack, and over 7 years older than he was when he had his fatal attack. In fact, I've lived longer than any man in my father's line for the previous 4 generations (all dying from heart attacks). And I'm only 56. Like you I stay active and mindful of my health. I try to avoid stress and I eat a healthy diet. I hope and expect to be as healthy and active as you are when I cross 70!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your story. Enjoy your time in the Florida warmth!Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08859125602809246773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-22410192374060678492016-12-06T10:46:18.485-08:002016-12-06T10:46:18.485-08:00Blessings and happy birthday, may you have many mo...Blessings and happy birthday, may you have many more with Heath, strength and endurance Rhapsody Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03520384490148575528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-14263071331899261682016-12-05T19:26:47.164-08:002016-12-05T19:26:47.164-08:00DJan, I so admire you for your discipline to exerc...DJan, I so admire you for your discipline to exercise as you do. I am not so good. But with severe back and leg and foot pain, I do as much as I can.<br />Have a great time in Florida with your sister. I just spent two weeks with mine, but it was a trip I had to take to get away from the fires down the road from me.<br />I am back home now, but did enjoy being with my sister.

I feel like I'm lucky to have found your blog. You have a combination of experience, ability to relate to it in a positive manner, and an unusually good ability to put it all in words for the rest of us. Thank you for being such a good friend in the blogosphere. I always appreciate the comments you leave for me. I wish you a safe journey and a fun time with Norma Jean. Have a great cup of coffee sitting out in the sunshine in Florida! Take good care and have a great trip!John's Islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618219887687125402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-62618294393867720162016-12-05T14:25:21.057-08:002016-12-05T14:25:21.057-08:00Thanks for the pep talk.

I am a bad one for that.

Fantastic that you keep up with so many different kinds of exercise, and do it so regularly. I cannot even compare. I sit way too much at my job and think that is my biggest downfall at this time. I try to get up numerous times and walk around, stretch and work a few muscles. Some days when it's not too wet, I still try to walk at noon with the dogs. Chores in the evenings and sometimes something enjoyable on the weekends. Compared to you, I am sorely lacking. Your numbers and overall health are very good! <br /><br />So happy you're making this trip to see your sister. Just what the doctor ordered!!<br />C-ingspotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17744931697050670013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-28275092595236441152016-12-05T05:41:11.897-08:002016-12-05T05:41:11.897-08:00I love how you have taken over your destiny.

My dad was 94 when he was killed in the car accident, my mom is 87 and living alone in Florida, all my grandparents lived to be at least in their late 80s and one lived to be 104. But no matter what...time marches on so quickly that it is surprising to find yourself old when you feel the same inside. You and your sister have done so well for yourselves and have a lot in common. Have a safe trip and enjoy every moment!! :) :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-57531657462051701902016-12-04T18:27:26.908-08:002016-12-04T18:27:26.908-08:00Your life is sounding gteat!

I have not been able to tell if the rain has let up or not. The weather station on the roof registers 38 degrees. I'd like to get out of going for our walk today, but since we skipped Friday and Saturday, and since you are so darned inspiring, I guess I'd better get us going and get out there.<br />The rest of the day we'll spend putting up the tree and decorating it. Big job, lovely results.<br />Safe travels, DJan. Have a great time with your sister. Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.com
