If I had more energy I would more than likely have to live a different lifestyle. I would eat differently and walk and exercise and try to take better care of myself. I’m not completely convinced I would have more energy after all of the activity but my mind tells me it would be a good thing to do. Maybe we could all use a little change in our lives and do some good for ourselves.
I have to admit that I am slightly envious of the people I know that do run and walk consistently (no matter the weather). My brother-in-law, Tommy, will run even when he is on vacation. On the other hand, when I get some time off from work, all I want to do is nap.
I go back to an example of my children because they are such a big part of my life. Little Shannon can go to bed at 2:00 AM and at 7:00 AM she is right in your face asking what is for breakfast. On the other hand, you can get her to bed at 8:00PM and she is right back in your face at 7:00 AM with the same smile and request.
The children can go swimming at the local swim club for ten hours a day and want to get home so they can ride their bicycles. They may take a few minutes out of their day to eat a little something but unless you force them to go to bed, they will carry on until they drop.
When I was young and would be on my way to school in the morning, I would get my bicycle out of the garage and pet the cat on the way out. Sometimes I would pause for a moment and wish I were that cat. Too-Too would sit in the sun most of the day and relax in the yard without a care in the world. I had to go to school while she just got to sit around all day. I think she knew I was a little desirous of her feline freedoms. She seemed to get along just fine without more energy. As a matter of fact, I think she lived about seventeen or eighteen years.
