7 weeks ago, my 83 year old grandfather (Papaw) had a FULL knee replacement. If you have met this man, you know that this did not keep him down!
He has more life and energy than most people half his age. He spends his time playing golf with friends, going to the YMCA to do his aerobics, staying active at the church, spending time with family and visiting friends… especially those that are unable to leave their homes.
Last week he bought a new car…I can’t wait to go visit… I know I will have to “take it out for a drive!”
A few days ago my sister sent me this video of him doing lunges across the house. She said this was his third trip through the house. Maybe we should all take a lesson. Rounds of squats, 83 years old, 7 weeks after a knee replacement.
Maybe we should all take a lesson from Peter Pan, NEVER GROW UP!

Well, by the time you read this, I will be half way across the US on my way to HAWAII!!!
My sister, yachting yogini, surprised me with a trip to Hawaii for christmas and we are on our way!
I am sure that I will have amazing stories and photos to share from my trip – so in the meantime… Aloha.

Sometimes you just need a little pep talk.
I came across this video “A Pep Talk From Kid President To You” on Mashable’s “The 40 Most Viral YouTube Videos of 2013” – a great list of videos to watch, well most of them. You never really know what is going to take off and go viral on the web huh? This was one of my favorite videos from the list and something I immediately wanted to share here on Sunny Slide Up.

This kid is the cutest. And he really makes some valid points…
The world needs you. Stop being boring!
If life was a game, aren’t we on the same team?
What if there really were two paths? I want to be in the one that leads to awesome.
What will you create to make the world awesome? Nothing if you keep sitting there!
Now, go seize the day!
