Have to slow down?

It has been a busy week for me. Made 3 presentations in my consultancy activities and managed to have time for social events as well.  At the end of the week I told myself, "I may have to learn to slow down?"

ELDERS CAN REDUCE DEATH RISKS WITH HALF HOURS OF DAILY EXERCISES

A recent study developed by the Norwegian School of Sports Sciences in Oslo shows that elders can reduce death risks with half hours of daily exercises. The findings of the research were published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine at the beginning of the month.

Medical researchers have been paying recent attention to the way in which daily physical exercises can improve the health condition of individuals who have long exceeded the middle age threshold. Recent studies that were carried out prove that elders can significantly reduce death risks by exercising 30 minutes per day six times a week.

The Little Boy and the Old Man ~ by Shel Silverstein
Said the little boy, "Sometimes I drop my spoon."
Said the old man, "I do that too."
The little boy whispered, "I wet my pants."...
"I do that too," laughed the little old man.
Said the little boy, "I often cry."
The old man nodded, "So do I."
"But worst of all," said the boy, "it seems
Grown-ups don't pay attention to me."
And he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand.
"I know what you mean," said the little old man.
