The idea began as my response to what I call the “Cult of Eternal Youth.” Yes, we all want to remain muscular, strong, and vibrant well into our later years.To those who are genetically blessed, athletically inclined, or self-disciplined enough to have maintained the physiques and stamina of their twenties and thirties, I salute you! You are truly fabulous and amazing. As for the rest of us, I came upon a more attainable and realistic concept, to Live Spry.

Let’s consider the definition of the word. Webster’s Tenth Collegiate Dictionary defines spry as, “vigorously active, brisk, and agile.” Various sources cite its origin in Old Norse and Swedish words meaning sprightly, brisk, or active. It’s always a compliment, usually spoken with admiration and affection. I have observed that people who are described as spry possess a lively energy that seems to radiate from within. For some reason, the years have not altered the way that they look at the world. They still have a youthful curiosity, a twinkle in their eyes, and a fire in the belly. They participate in activities that bring them satisfaction and are physically able to pursue their interests. They know who they are and they seem happy.

That said, it is my desire for LiveSpry.com to provide a platform that supports you individuals who seek to attain that goal, starting at any age. My blog posts will range from ideas about decluttering, so you don’t trip over something and twist your ankle, to posts about more philosophical notions. And as I encounter useful resources online or out in the world, I will add them to the website, in hopes that your life will be streamlined so you can pursue a simpler, more productive life full of happiness, health, and fun. Why not Live Spry?

Live Spry!
