Emotional Fitness Thoughts
The Daily Prompt as applied to aging from the perspective of a 76-year-old. You want a younger body, you do not want to be invisible, you want your knowledge respected, and you want many, many more years of the good life. In the end, however, as for anyone past adolescence, living the good life is mostly a matter of your attitude and what you do to stay strong.
Laughing helps me stay stronger as I tumble down-hill. Explains why I try to start most of my posts with a laugh even when I have to make them up.

Watch for the opening of Emotional Fitness Training’s Store November First. This and other EFTI posters will be featured. Weekly free-bees and those that are not free will cost less than a latte and sustain you longer. Visit the store now to learn a bit more about Emotional Intelligence.
STAY Strong
