'Live in the moment' is a bit of a strange phrase. It's often associated with 'wellbeing' (not one of my favourite words) and mental health -an overused 'catch-all' for a multitude of issues. There is a photograph of the convicted nurse Lucy Letby dancing whilst out on bail, obviously 'living in the moment' as if it were a bad thing to do. I'm not sure what I would do if I was on bail waiting to see if I was going to be convicted for goodness knows how many murders, but I guess enjoying yourself whilst you can would be a good philosophy. As I'm getting older, I feel an overwhelming desire to live life a bit more 'in the moment', although at the same time I'm naturally risk averse so difficult to fulfil both objectives. As I'm just past official retirement date, it does make me think if I should make more time for doing things that take more time but which are excluded (or at least curtailed due to my working hours). In my head, I do have an outline plan of retirement by the end of 2027, based mainly on when all my debts will be paid off. This is assuming I don't create more debt!
On the fitness front, I have booked an appointment to see McBride Physio tomorrow after testing my hamstring out last week, so more on that Wednesday.
