The beauty of getting older is understanding the difference between activities that add value to your life and one’s that don’t

Time in front of the TV or on social media for most of us is not adding any sort of value to our lives. Don’t get me wrong, I understand ‘down time’ is a legit way to refuel, but most of us don’t us those devices and that time in that way. And I’m as guilty as anyone.

I just recently got back from a long weekend hanging out with my childhood friends. The three of us haven’t been together in over 10 years. It was the perfect setting where the activities involved: pickleball, swimming, boating, cooking by campfire, listening to music, staring at the views of the Puget Sound and of course quality conversations.

There were moments of laughter, sincerity, vulnerability and a whole lot of tom foolery.

Boom! Value added.
