Do you ever feel like this?

I can remember when my life felt, and looked, like the image above.  That was also a time when my blood pressure went out of control.  None of the exercises (mostly long walks) or drugs (we tried a lot of them) would bring it under control.  Even when I stepped out of a management slot and worked 30 hours/week the bp was too high.  I retired and returned to my native state of Michigan.

Surely that would do the trick.  It didn’t.  My first trip to my primary care physician brought the [bad] news that the bp was 160/106.  Eventually, we found the right combo to bring me into a “normal” range.  It has stayed there since.

Yes, the simple, laid-back life helps.  At least, I’d like to think it does. 😎
