Went on a hike this evening that was led at a killer pace by green warrior. Great workout. It's time to let the old bones heal.
Ah, a man after my own heart. I just took a few days off from this board to do some thinking and catching up that began during my last "green warrior" hike on Sunday.
You sound good. The Burns book sounds very interesting. I've been interested in finding out more about cognitive therapy but didn't know where to start.
Oh, and hey, beepee: good to see you getting out and about!
Since our sitches are similar** - and I've already suggested The Ultramind Solution for depression (it's still working for me)- let me add the suggestion that you have hormone levels checked - especially thyroid and testosterone. And read up on optimal levels, none of this reference-level-for-your-age-group crap. Life Extension Foundation (lef.org) is a great place to start, as is the very good book Ageless by Suzanne Somers (I know, I know but all she really does in her books is seek out cutting-edge doctors and researchers and interview them).
Endure, buddy
** especially the "having kids in my first marriage was the best thing I ever did" comment. Ditto. My youngest S (30) has been a great support.
