Like the song goes . . .
To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go.
To right the unrightable wrong
To be better far than you are
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest ...

Re: Push up bars
I've used a soccer ball size medicine ball, like diamond push-ups. Also used a kettlebell or two. I like using a Swedish ladder, elevating me legs. I mainly just use the floor but have made use of suspension straps at the senior centre fitness room, they let you use many angles, plus some stability.

I remember days when people make new year resolutions, it's a good time to refocus on activities and diet.

Re: Happy Holidays
We did the Christmas thing when our kids were young and at home, nowadays just give them money, they're in their 40's now. Family and friends get together and eat, no religious significance.
