What are you still doing here?đŸ«”

My daily routine usually starts with the “Spa time” at Life Time because staying healthy matters more to me now than ever before.

The idea of hobbling around a beach in compression socks and flip-flops after giving up on my health is nightmare fuel.

Watching people completely quit on themselves physically is one of the biggest reminders I have to keep moving.

The gym crowd covers every category imaginable. 

There are lots of retired folks like me who hit the gym in the afternoons. A few weeks ago, I met a guy named Nick, and after hearing about my travels, he now asks me the same question every single day: 

“What are you still doing here in America?” 😂

He keeps telling me that life is way too short not to do what makes you happy.

The problem is
 I honestly don’t know how to answer his question anymore.

Some days, I don’t even know what I’m still doing here either.

Maybe I’m just a little too chickenshit to push all my chips into the middle of the table right now.  I get the feeling he wishes he went “all in” a long time ago too and has regrets.
