Beach Walk 179 – Honolulu Pearls Part 2

Here’s the second part of the Honolulu Pearls interview with the military wahine paddlers.

Steve from Texas called in on the conch line wanting to know what it is that makes some people act young, while others seem to age quickly. The women have several responses! In my book, it’s definitely a mind and body deal: thinking positive helps and staying active seems to also. To paraphrase Bernie Siegel, “Pessimists may have a more accurate view of reality but optimists live longer and have more fun.”

To add the Beach Walks twist, to me it doesn’t matter if you are a 20-year old in a 50-year old body or vice versa. We tend to think the former is “better” but really, it’s just one of those personal preferences we have. Each person really does have the freedom to beat themselves to a pulp (as we fitness fanatics tend to do!) or enjoy a life a leisure on the couch, or anything in between. 🙂 Many deep dark brooding souls have created masterpieces, and it’s hard to predict how each day will turn out. For me, the main point is having the freedom to choose.
