Winter of My Life (Author Unknown)

You know, time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing of years.  It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate.

And yet, in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all…..

And I have glimpses of how it was back then, and of all my hopes and dreams…..But, here it is…..the winter of my life and it catches me by surprise….

How did I get here so fast?  Where did the years go and where did my babies go?  And, where did my youth go?

I remember well……seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that winter was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like.

And so, now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things. I know that though the winter has come, and I’m not sure how long it will last,
when it’s over…..it’s over!

Yes, I have regrets.  There are things I wish I hadn’t done…..things I should have done.  But, indeed, there are many things I’m happy to have done.

It’s all in a lifetime…..
So, if you’re not in your winter yet……
Let me remind you…..
It will be here faster than you think!

So….
Whatever you would like to accomplish in your life…..Please do it quickly!  Life goes by so fast.  Do what you can today, because you can never be sure whether this is your winter or not!  You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life…..

So, live for good today and, say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember…….

“Life is a gift to you.
The way you live your life is your gift to those who came after.
Make it a fantastic one!”
Remember, yesterday is history,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
Today is a gift….
LIVE IT WELL!!

We likely will begin to know when the winter comes as we live longer into our 60’s, 70’s, or 80’s but winter can come early for us.  I remember Gary, a friend I played baseball through high school with.  His winter came at age 23 as did my brother-in-law, Tom, at age 27.  There winter lasted days and weeks. Then there was my hiking buddy, Gig.  His winter came at age 49 and lasted three years. Or Gail, whose winter started 8 years ago and ended last month.

We cannot forecast our winter but we can live our life knowing that it will come.  Jesus told us how to do that when he said that we should love the Lord, our God, with our entire being.  Likewise we should love our neighbor (friends, enemies, and those we don’t know) as we love ourselves.   As the writer of the text above wrote, “The way you live your life is a gift to those who came after.”

Tsunami

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
We did burpee jac web between each exercise. Going with one BJW, do 2 over head claps, do 2 BJW and 4 overhead claps, 1:2 ratio all the way to 10 burpee jack webs: 20 overhead claps. The exercises we did between each of BJW were:

SSH, squats, Hill billys, IMP walkers, IMP squat walkers, cherry pickers, all IC x10 reps each. then CMU curls x 20 I x 2, Rows for bros x20 IC x2
THA-THANG:

  • Every 2nd light pole, do 2 burpos until we get to the bottom of MT Crumpit
  • Broad Jump up Mt Crumpit to the Christmas Tree
  • Behind the tree on the right, we did 11s. Tsunami Burpees and Flutters. Starting with 10 Tsunami and 1 flutter
  • Tsunami Burpee = Start on your back, rock back then forward onto your feet, jump out of it, then drop and do a full burpee, that’s one rep. Ocean calls is a deck squat burpee, but it reminds me more of getting rolled up in a violent wave after you have done several reps of them. its like you are caught in a TSUNAMI BRO! Totally tubular!
  • Well, a lot of moaning and groaning going on doing the 11s but thanks to Snorkel and his super powers, he finished his 11s when I was about 85% done so I decided to say RECOVER!
