My 71 year old fit AF drinking buddy.
He was a farmer who mostly climbed palm trees all day and made palm sugar, palm juice and yes, whatever the hell alcohol he was serving me at 9am.
Some life notes:
1. He was extremely active
2. He was relaxed and joyful
3. His home and clothing were no frills and lacked all the crap most of us spend our lifetimes accumulating. No GREED.
4. Yes he was boozing at 9am, but he had a limited supply so it was impossible for him to over indulge or he would run out!
5. All his food was “local”…as in his backyard. 😃
I have met people in other countries that would be considered poverty level in the US but are happier, healthier and more content than our wealthiest citizens.
I am grateful for every opportunity I have to meet new people. It always opens my eyes more and hopefully makes me a better human.
Go spread some love and joy folks….too much anger and hate out there.
