Moments and eras, thoughts and hopes.

I recently said to my mum: ‘How different the times are in which we both live; everything has changed in an incredible way.’

To listen to whilst reading the reflection – Source

Often, when I recall things or circumstances I experienced twenty years ago, I feel as though they lie too far back in time, far more than twenty years, as if they were a fleeting memory or another life lived by someone else. Either things change far too quickly, or time no longer passes in the same way as it used to.

When I start thinking about times gone by, I feel that I have undergone many transformations, and I’m not just talking about the internal ones and the number of times I’ve changed in my life, because I chose to, but I’m referring to the external changes, to an entire generation that has lived through those dizzying changes intensely, transforming society as a whole.

I’ve lived through a time when the internet didn’t exist, when computers weren’t as we know them today, when mobile phones didn’t exist, and when we communicated by letter. The chance to play in the street without fear, and even to play with physical objects, real toys, rather than screens. And today, I look around me and find it incredible what’s happening; I also think about my own capacity to adapt, and how life has required me to change so many times, even in ways I didn’t choose myself.

I went from seeing groups of children playing in the streets, to other groups strolling carefree, gatherings at some of my friends’ homes, enjoying a park or a family dinner, to seeing people seemingly talking to themselves in the street, though in reality they’re talking to an AI on their phone, people who are lonelier, shut away in their homes, struggling with self esteem, where their self-worth comes from a ‘like’ on social media rather than the appreciation of family and friends.

A society where more importance is placed on a stranger leaving a little heart on a video or a post than on a hug from a loved one; a society where, generally speaking, though of course there are exceptions, the value of family, respect and kindness has been lost, and where young people walk as if in a world that isn’t this one.

I have gone from living in a world where creativity and intelligence were developed through research, reading, art and writing, to a world where I see people delegating everything to AI, because it’s easier, because it’s less work, or because the end result looks nicer. We have lost the ability to think for ourselves, intellectual development, and a logical, independent mind. Now AI thinks for us. It’s sad.

AI can be useful in some cases, such as when gathering information from different websites where an immediate response is needed for various reasons, or when it comes to technology that could save lives. But delegating everything to it, even the simplest tasks, is frightening because of the implications for the future. I wonder if we will let it think for us and, if so, what will become of the human race.

I’ve gone from living in a world where chivalry still existed amongst men, where they’d let a woman go first, hold the door open for her, give up their seat on a bus, or simply strike up a conversation with her, to a society where that no longer exists; young men look the other way, and in other cases are afraid to speak to a woman because they fear being accused of harassment. We’re witnessing some very strange times, where women call themselves feminists simply for being empowered, when in reality an empowered woman is one who decides for herself, takes care of herself and chooses her own path in life; she feels free, whilst always respecting the differences between herself and men, because we are different and that is the beauty of life and relationships.

I think i'm actually getting slower, but the runs are easier

normie.fitness — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 06:13:18 GMT

It's a little bit frustrating honestly. I have been doing more cardio in the past few months than I have ever done in my life outside of high school and yet, I don't seem to get any faster. I think I have plateaued and there will have to be some sort of really difficult effort on my part in order to change this.

What has happened lately is that I am not really pushing myself on my runs but instead I try to maintain a pace that isn't painful for me and I don't really mind doing it. I have found a comfortable 5k pace where it really isn't a big deal for me to run that far and I always feel like I could do more once I am finished.

![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/normie.fitness/23yJiFkEUFm4dWsQeBuGcLKmhif9LJWfcfNqU9re6KcQpQKrp1WE4mXPHV5qhdijojKT8.png) [src](https://www.shutterstock.com/image-vector/vector-illustration-happy-man-crossing-260nw-2725314569.jpg)

But I must admit that I am a bit on the disappointed side when I do finally finish a run and then cool down walk home.. Then later I will look at the stats on my app and realize that I am actually going slower than I was a few months ago.

It's disheartening but at the same time, I have stopped looking at my pace and instead just listen to my body because one of the most important things to me has always been that I have to find exercise for me that I don't hate doing, I don't loathe getting it started because it is a somewhat enjoyable experience.

![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/normie.fitness/23tRxWjyDbUJYKE3BX933tk8P6UCGSp74rZwkEu7PgVxaUQAA8BUeqmqqVgZMQA7ANqEi.png)

Still though, I kind of feel like I aught to be going faster than this, even if it is completely by accident.

Not that long ago I was chasing doing close to 6 min kilometers but I started to lose my desire to go running at all because it was so taxing on my body. I would frequently get sore afterwards and I had to negotiate with myself about whether or not I was going at all. The entire mantra and way of thinking behind "normie-fitness" is that I don't do things that I hate doing - that all of what I do is supposed to be something that while I might not look forward to it per se, I don't hate doing it either.

So I suppose I kind of set myself up to always end up in a fairly relaxed way of pacing myself.

![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/normie.fitness/Eo6BEMDJ3VKxvurYL4CXqdNLj1biJpo8G4MP2Pgcinh7vPWBfaxUZfmZabVbJcgpYqL.png)

I know that I could go faster than this and in the past I have gone faster than this despite the fact that my endurance is actually a lot better now than it was back then. Did I lose my drive? I don't think so. I think what has happened is that I have found something that I know I can bang out in 40 minutes and feel ok after a shower whereas the way I was going at it before was something that sometimes I would get dangerously overheated and the next time I was contemplating doing it, I would really struggle to get motivated to do so.

So maybe I am doing something right, even though I am not all that pleased with the results.

My heart rate isn't improving as much as I would like it to either though, and that is disappointing as well. Perhaps I should see a doctor about this situation because it doesn't make much sense to me that a guy that does 4-6 hours of cardio per week has such a terrible BPM.

![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/normie.fitness/23tRtaFZVQkeLBa1Tf3Jw63NXamXJjFkzR2m3VUL7nvDkEPy7uRYMn3fVEg52Vu2J8PwT.png)

There's people that I know that are older than me, exercise less than me, and are not looking as in good of shape as I do that have their BPM max that is much lower than mine.

Regardless of this disappointing results I am going to keep doing what I am doing. In fact, I am about to go head out for another run in the dead heat of day right now. Maybe it will be better.

Happy Friday! 😁……..My Actifit Report Card: October 2 2026

elizabethbit — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 03:51:06 GMT

TGIF! Happy Friday everybody!

It’s ironic—isn’t it, when the day flies by and you realize it’s later than you think and then……..it’s like the day suddenly is in slow-mo! The afternoon drags on and on and on!

That’s how the day went for Marissa and me. Fortunately, the end does come!😎. We were fairly busy until the afternoon which may have had something to do with that slow-mo feeling. Next week will be a marathon week, but for now—I’m NOT thinking about it.

Dandelions are usually the first sign that spring is on the way however when they go to seed, it can be a winding down of the warmer seasons, especially when looking at the landscape around them.

A dandelion going to seed always bring joy to a child for they’re soft and are dispersed with the soft blowing of breath! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a child not enjoy them!

As an adult, we see that seed disbursement as a threat that more will come along if our goal is to eradicate them from the yard. But…….what if……..just for a moment, you forget that, think like a child noticing the awe they find in the fuzzy white top and sit back and gently blow on one? Perhaps we all could use a little child-like wonder!

So maybe this weekend, go out and find yourself a dandelion top. Examine it closely and then gently blow the seeds! Maybe make a wish while you’re at it! 😁😎👍

That’s gonna be all for me. Tomorrow is the festival at Stoney Ridge Farm. Looking forward to it and tons of pics, pumpkins and gourds along with fresh apples and some cider! It’s supposed to be a stunningly gorgeous day!

Take care and enjoy the rest of your day wherever you are! 🙏🌏🙏

👣🐑☕️🎃🎃🎃🍁🍂🍄‍🟫🌻🌞🌽🎃🎃🎃🌙🥱😴

BSB Psalm 2:1-10

My son, if you accept my words
and hide my commandments within you,
if you incline your ear to wisdom
and direct your heart to understanding,
if you truly call out to insight
and lift your voice to understanding,
if you seek it like silver
and search it out like hidden treasure,
then you will discern the fear of the LORD
and discover the knowledge of God.
For the LORD gives wisdom;
from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk with integrity,
to guard the paths of justice
and protect the way of His saints.
Then you will discern righteousness
and justice and equity—every good path.
For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will delight your soul.

“NOPE……I’m Not Doing That!”😳…..My Actifit Report Card: October 2 2026

silvertop — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 03:51:09 GMT

“NOPE…….I’m NOT Doing That!”😳
It’s 115 Feet to the top of this Water Tower!🙄
If you have read some of my older posts, you know Silvertop is afraid of heights!😬I have also mentioned that I am a Licensed Private Pilot, and that being in the air had never bothered me!☺️
I Love Flying!🤗
I once had the passenger door pop open on takeoff, and I simply reached over and closed it!😇
No worries Lol……………
Now this situation is much different………
Silvertop looked very closely at the first photo, and I don’t see a “cage” around the vertical ladder on the side of this water tank!🤔
“Bill….. What are you doing!”🙄
The third photo is Liz and Silvertop’s “baby”….. well not so much of a baby anymore Lol!😍
“Liz…. What is our son doing, he just became a daddy a year ago, he needs to keep both feet planted on the Earth!”😇
I guess you can blame this on Silvertop…………..
“Billy’s” dad has always been adventurous, from hiking the Mountains, to Flying, and I guess some of my personality rubbed off on our son!☺️

“Trust me dad, that little safety line became my best friend around 80 feet. Constantly working it up to make sure it was with me!”

😳…………………..
The reason for this climb, was to install cameras on the top hatch, hopefully Solar powered, so they don’t need to replace the batteries any time soon!😅
“Liz…… hiking is so much fun, don’t you think Bill needs to take our baby Granddaughter Olivia on a nice Mountain hike! Someplace with an extremely steep trail, like up to “Friendly’s Cabin” on the Gold Mine Trail! That ought to satisfy his need for an adrenaline rush Lol!”😅

“Liz…….. he must get this from “Your” side of the Family Lol!”😇🤣
As for Silvertop……. the weekend is here my friends, and Liz has told me several times………….
“Silvertop YOU are Grounded!”🥰
Till tomorrow Silvertop Mike 😊

Being Pushed into the Weekend - My Actifit Report Card: October 2 2026

newageinv — Sat, 03 Oct 2026 02:51:21 GMT

I was up again early today despite not having a time or need to be anywhere. It made me hesitate on getting some things done which was frustrating as I had plenty to do. When I finally got to checking things off the list, the morning went quickly. As noon approach, I finally decided to get a PT session done and have my first full meal. I took a peak at work items to ensure things were being handled by the team which delayed me getting a couple of things done.

Before I knew it, it was time to get a full workout in so headed to the gym to arrive before the crowds. It worked well as I was in and out for a treadmill workout within an hour. I did more intense speed intervals to push to see the limits as I was focusing on sprints. I did not find my limit so it was fun to push a bit so will try to continue it in the coming weeks. Look forward to the weekend with plenty of things to do.

# English Version

Hello, good morning or afternoon.

Wrapping up Friday with my activity report, I’m happy to say I reached my step goal. But it was an exhausting day at work, and, as luck would have it, it started raining just as I was heading home. Even though I was wearing a raincoat, I ended up getting a little wet on my motorcycle. What a day! My plan for tomorrow is to rest and, if I can, manage to hit at least half of my step goal.

Have a great weekend.

# Versión en Español

Hola, buenos días o tardes.

Cerrando el día viernes con mi reporte de actividad, les cuento que llegué a la meta de pasos. Pero en el trabajo fue un día agotador y, para mi suerte, al momento de salir rumbo a mi casa comenzó a llover y, aunque llevaba un impermeable, terminé mojándome un poco en la moto. Qué día, el plan para mañana es descansar y, si puedo, lograr registrar siquiera la mitad de la meta de pasos.

Les deseo un buen fin de semana.

Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de leerme.
