Reunions are restoring, refreshing and motivating. Start your own.

Senior Tip - Go to your reunions.

I attended a reunion last week of my fraternity brothers from circa 1964.  The bikers and swimmers seemed to be in the best physical shape with the tennis and avid walkers a close second. We had one brother who ran marathons and he looked genuinely healthy. Exercise works. 

Alcohol consumption was controlled. It was not like the uncontrolled, reckless, wild drinking of 50 years ago. Moderation works too.

I am not a reunion enthusiast. However, I found the reunion to be absolutely inspirational. My fraternity brothers had traveled the world, were still active in tennis, swimming and biking, and were all doing interesting projects from restoring classic cars to learning new skills. They motivated me to up my pace, just like many of them did for me in college.

I came home ready to conquer a new mountain. It is never too late to start climbing.

By the way, if you do not have a reunion to attend, contact 20 of your old friends and have one.
