After the 2019/2020 vegetables season finished, time to clean some weeds!

My parents several years ago started with something similar when they inherited an abandoned piece of land. They ended up LIVING there as they liked countryside so much instead of the city where they had spent all of their life before :)

Exactly, this was not actually abandoned but my grandpa (94) hasn't been able to take care of it properly for some years now. My goal is also fixing it as to live there :)

The wisdom of children
Several days ago me and my family were having a picnic near a beautiful lake of Kalviai (one of the best lakes to hang out near Kaunas). The way to the beach leads near a surprisingly interesting church and a statue of a fish which is said to fulfill your secret wishes if you touch it. Well, we said our 6-year-old if he wanted to touch it. I was expecting to hear some desire for a thing (what I was thinking is a likely statement from a pre-school kid). He came to the fish, touched it and said “I want to grow healthy and strong”. I still feel touched by the deepness and wisdom of the child’s wish.
In this materialistic world, many adults have a lot to learn from kids.

How to remain healthy
As a doctor I often face people of the same age, but with fundamentally different health status. A 50-year-old may be in a significantly worse overall health condition than a 70-year-old.
And what I have noticed is that healthier people have something in common - they do not do certain things. They:
DO NOT SMOKE
DO NOT USE MUCH ALCOHOL
DO NOT EAT TOO MUCH
That’s almost it. It is THAT SIMPLE. Just avoid things that definitely damage your body.
But we tend to be weak and find excuses.
Think about this before you take your morning cigarette. Or before ordering at MCdonalds. Or before drinking the second glass of wine.
If this was easy we would all look and feel better. It is NOT EASY. We have to WORK to keep ourselves away from bad things.
Stay motivated. Stay healthy.

Well I do the first two, but have always struggled with the last.
