You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for?


What is your favorite form of physical exercise?

Exercise after a day of work? Yeah, some of us go to a gym, we like to run or tire ourselves only to regain our strength the next day. 

Something tells me that this is ok to go to work and feel you have exercised, but the doctors will say, ” Ah, it’s not enough. You need to walk after work, go to a gym, get a routine together, and give it twenty minutes a day or more.” “Walk more he says to me,” Hmmm 

I was coming home from the doctor’s office when I drove into my subdivision. Today I noticed a large group of men working in front of my house. Looking at them, I saw one man with a shovel standing in a hole up to his mid chest, a large hole in the earth with a pile of spoil next to the hole he had just cleared. Then I see another guy over in the neighbor’s yard doing the same thing, and the next house, another guy doing the same thing. 

This project they were doing required a ‘hand dig’. The day this happened, it was in the mid-nineties, and this is Florida. 

Now, my thought here was, have you ever dug a hole with a shovel? Five feet in a perfect rectangle? 

This is not an easy task for anyone, even cool hand Luke. 

Maybe these guys don’t need a gym after work, but they might need a massage. 

There are hundreds of jobs a day that men and women do to ‘exercise’, so simply put, working every day is my form of exercise, up at four am, at work by six am. A routine all day, demanding routine at that, moving and walking, bending, standing, reaching out with my arms, climbing steps, and two breaks a day. With a 30-minute lunch. No resting or lying down. Is it not enough?
