Ugh revenge of the GERD after some deep fried kakiage tempura and \u2026coffee.  Still I believe its not really the food causing the pains but something else. This burning pain was triggered by concerns over a family member and guilt associated with not being able to care for her. My nervous system must be fried from over-worries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At times like this, I am really grateful for this witty and wise neighbor I walk with. It\u2019s all spontaneous in that we don\u2019t schedule or commit to the walks &#8211; if it\u2019s do-able we go, if inconvenient, we pass. We hold no obligatory pressure or judgment. There&#8217;s no need to pose, impose or impress &#8211; we are authentic and open as there&#8217;s no agenda in sharing this activity.  It&#8217;s pure self-interest we each accept as valid and good:) It\u2019s also short and sweet talk and walk therapy session &#8211; walks are 30minute spurts and maybe 3000-4000 steps. Just right for a break in anyone&#8217;s day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And unbeknownst to me at first &#8211; this walking companion is 80 years old &#8211; wow &#8211; I know &#8211; whhaat! Right? &#8211; who knew? &#8211; recalling how similar my current reaction is to when I reacted to a beautiful co-worker in her 30\u2019s when I was in my 20\u2019s &#8211; like how can you manage to look so pretty when you are SO OLD &#8211; you know, that attitude of a silly youth with little life experience, so poor that someone over 30 seemed no longer &#8220;young&#8221; in that definition back then  &#8211; So here it is again resurfacing that similar prejudice I had back then  &#8211; This 80 year old widow is so fit and positive despite some real challenges she has undergone she doesn\u2019t rehash but I can only imagine. And wise , that she is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have always sought out older friends &#8211; the kind who inspires you and learn from. I know in the USA there\u2019s a real UNacceptance and fear of aging but here\u2019s someone who is honest about her fears but doing everything she can to stay well by exercising and eating well &#8211; and most important- staying sharp.  Here\u2019s someone you look at and realize wow life can be long and well lived. She is disciplined and so giving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a joy to hang out with someone who knows how to take care of herself. It\u2019s a joy to learn from the older folks with so many gifts of experience and empathy. It&#8217;s a joy to see that one can live long and full and command respect &#8211; we all need this kind of a role model to not be afaid of aging and live today to the fullest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s see if she\u2019s up for our walk today !  I can use some positive vibe of a 80 year old who has walked the walk, been there and done that but not letting that keeping her from staying fresh and &#8230; funny:)  She&#8217;s adorable !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Found a lovely Obento delivery by an awesome mom catering in the neighborhood- msg me and I shall refer !
