The Retirement Newsletter: Spring is here and I’m thinking about my health
Welcome
Welcome to issue -96, and this week I’m thinking about my health.
In Locksley Hall, Alfred, Lord Tennyson says:
“In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.”
In my case, as I emerge from winter, my thoughts turn to my health. Yet another sign of getting old?
Health
I am not a medical doctor, and I am not a mental health worker. What I have written below are my thoughts and observations, and it is not medical advice.
Spring always makes me think about my general health.
A possible reason for this is that my thoughts turn to summer and outdoor activities. That is, the end of the winter hibernation and the start of outdoor adventures. Yet, I’m not a hibernator; I don’t lock myself away in the cold dark winter months. I still go out and walk and explore. The only exception to this is when it’s pouring with rain. The cold doesn’t worry me. I embrace it. I love snow and cold sunny frosty winter days. But I won’t go out in the wet.
