Let’s talk about vacation, about age and exercise, about honey, healthy beers, stretching your arms and longevity with Jack LaLanne’s widow, Elaine.
Vacation. What is a vacation? “It’s a period of time spent away from home or business in travel or recreation.” Well, that’s what my wife and I are going to do from September 7th to 18th – cruise the Danube River from Budapest, Hungary to Passau, Germany, then take a train up to Prague, Czech Republic for a couple of more days. We will also visit Slovakia and Austria along the way. These are countries we haven’t seen before, and are excited to see historical cities and sites.
Why take a vacation? You all know the answer; to recharge your batteries, empty your dump bucket, restore your soul, experience new and different adventures, or collect memories outside “the box”. Many of you have heard me over the years kiddingly prescribe for you “a vacation”, simply because it’s obvious you need one, for any of the above listed reasons. However, you don’t always have to go thousands of miles away to fulfill that prescription, as a day trip up the coast or into the mountains can help your mental and physical state a whole bunch.
Please consider allowing yourself some time off to relax and re-create, and to restore your soul. In fact, consider this your prescription. We’ll swap stories when I get back. (Will be back working in T.O. on Thursday, 9/19 and in Tarzana on Friday, 9/20) Cheers. BG

THOUGHTS FOR THE MONTH
“To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.” Henri Bergson
“Making a choice that is 1 percent better or 1 percent worse seems insignificant in the moment, but over the span of moments that make up a lifetime, these choices determine the difference between who you are and who you could be. Success is the product of daily habits — not once-in-a-lifetime transformations.”
James Clear, author of Atomic Habits
