Papa’s World – It is great to be alive!

Good day, friends!

In 2013, I had a major heart attack –

Called a “WIDOW MAKER”!

In fact, that day I should have died!

So, I can attest that every day since –

“IT IS A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE!

My wife, Sherry, has guided me all these past years.

She is a Certified Health Coach.

I have changed my diet –

Quit fast food –

I do not drink sodas or milk.

I have one cup of coffee each morning-

I drink mostly water.

I really do not like alcohol or wine.

On occasion,

I will have a beer or two, but no more than that.

I will have a Complete shake around ten or eleven.

And a snack then.

I will eat dinner around 4 or 5.

And sometimes a light snack around 7.

At 8pm. I will get ready to go to bed.

After four hours,

I woke up after midnight –

Bathroom break,

And then I post my blog to Facebook-

and go back to bed.

I wake up around 5 or 5:30 am.

Shower – shave – brush teeth and get dressed.

I keep a calendar and write down appointments –

Also, Sherry’s as I have become in retirement –

“DRIVING MISS SHERRY”!

We both attend to the flowers, bushes – Tower Garden.

And we like to golf.

Maybe every two or three weeks.

Sometimes it is that good shot that brings me back –

Here, I ended up on the fringe of the green.

For me, that is good! LOL!

Since we live close to two beaches –

We often drive over the causeways and park.

We walk down to the surf line –

Or just sit on a bench and look out over the ocean.

It is a great day to be alive!

Papa – this picture was taken shortly after my Heart Attack

but before my FOUR BY-PASSES OPEN HEART SURGERY!

I really should not be here – I had a 100% blockage and three other partials!

I made it because in my mind I had changed my eating habits and “GONE HEALTHY”

Eight years before. The damage of slow arteries becoming clogged –

was 40 years in the making!

And in that journey – my wife convinced me to take a supplement –

which through research in major medical facilities worldwide –

showed that arteries could be opened by taking a combination of BERRIES!

I am convinced had I not changed – I would have died that day!

Today – ” IT IS A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE” ten plus years later!

Not only being gratefully for our lives in serving humanity – but literally for my HEART!

We continue our journey – walking every day – twice a week –

Tuesdays and Thursdays – at the Brunswick Senior Center –

Participating in “GERIFIT” for Seniors!

A 45-minute exercise class that goes on every second working on all your muscles

in your body and balance – strength and being flexible!

We eat as healthy as we can –

still, take our daily supplement of “FRUITS – VEGETABLES – BERRIES and OMEGAS”

ALL PLANT BASED!

It is truly “A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE”!

A little humor along with a great feeling!

Just being here knowing that the % of not being here was very large –

I beat death – I had the help of the one I love –

I shall always remember that.

Forty-two years ago she said yes – and then ten-plus years ago – with her help –

I beat death.

I am forever grateful.

Yes – today “IT IS A GREAT DAY TO BE ALIVE”!
