And an exercise guide to help you build bone

11/21/2025

Without purpose, even the healthiest body begins to decay.
I’ve seen older adults with perfect lab results fall apart because they woke up with nothing to move toward… and I’ve seen people in their 70s outlift 40-year-olds because they still had something that pulled them forward.

Purpose is the quiet organ we never scan the one that decides whether you rise or slowly collapse. Muscles shrink faster when the mind has nothing to chase. Joints stiffen quicker when life stops giving you reasons to stand tall.

People say aging is the enemy, but the real enemy is drifting.
You don’t decline because you’re getting older.
You decline because you stop having a why.

Choose your purpose.
A trail to hike.
A grandchild to keep up with.
A weight to lift.
A place you still want to see.
A version of yourself you refuse to abandon.

Purpose keeps the body alive.
Movement keeps the purpose alive.
Everything else is maintenance.

**LOOKING FOR DONATIONS OF SMALL TOWELS**

We are in need yet again of tea towels, pillow cases, small towels, facecloths and dishcloths (if you have larger towels you wish to donate could you cut them in half please?) At this time, we do not need sheets or blankets.

Drop off points are our Second Chances Thrift Store in Sidney or the Broadmead Vet Clinic. We also have a drop off point in Langford – please message for address!

These items are used to line pens for cats who have to spend the night in pens because of various litter box issues. They free roam during the day but in order to not get up to an incredible mess, they do spend the nights in large pens lined with tea towels, small towels and pillowcases!

Thank you so much to our ever supportive community!

You are not “too old.”
You’re just getting started.
Be the exception that becomes the example.

Effective immediately, employers can only ask for sick notes in limited circumstances - freeing up healthcare professionals to care for more patients, not paperwork. This is welcome news as we move into the winter respiratory illness season. 🙌🏼

This change gives valuable time back to our already stretched providers and lets workers stay home to recover without the hassle of unnecessary appointments or out-of-pocket costs just to prove they’re sick.

And this is just one step. We’re continuing to focus on cutting administrative burden for doctors, from streamlining forms and digitizing processes to reducing unnecessary reporting, so they can spend more time with patients and less time on paperwork. ✍🏽

Way to go, imbeciles.
Measles wipes out the immune system, so everything you had built up immunity for is gone. If Measles comes roaring back, so does everything else.
Stupid, stupid, idiots. Vaccinate your children!

Everyone talks about retirement savings.
But no one talks about the muscle you’ll need to use those years.

Muscle keeps you moving.
Muscle keeps you thinking.
Muscle keeps you living life on your own terms.

Invest in it.
