It can't always be this way.

My body is creaking. My mind feels stuffed and slow, and I can't seem to make either work today.

I went climbing this morning, my one day off, and tried to force my body to do things that it used to love just a few years ago, when climbing, backpacking, kayaking, and dancing in the warm desert at burningman sustained me.

I can take a few more years, but that's it.

After that I need to find my balance again, or this will not have been a good decision.
