TOPS Healthy Lifestyle: Follow the Signs – Dead End

Rick Danforth / March 28, 2025

Just because you see a DEAD END sign does not mean we are finished with this blog series. In fact, there is still one more sign left in the Follow the Signs series dealing with our goal to a TOPS Healthy Lifestyle. A DEAD END sign gives plenty of warning that the road does not have a DRIVE THRU to…

TOPS Healthy Lifestyle: Follow the Signs – Hidden Drive

Rick Danforth / March 14, 2025

Seeing a HIDDEN DRIVE sign always raises my alert level. There is always a chance someone could be pulling out or backing into the road and based on the location of this HIDDEN DRIVE, visibility is bad. Seeing these types of warning signs also reminds me of driver’s education classes. I will forever remember my teacher’s advice that when a…

TOPS Healthy Lifestyle: Follow the Signs – Survey Crew Ahead

Rick Danforth / February 28, 2025

On any journey, especially a long one, INFORMATION is needed to travel safely and not get confused or lost. Seeing a SURVEY CREW AHEAD sign helps me to be aware of my surroundings while on my journey. The crew may be working on improvements to the road I have chosen. Possibly, they are studying if there are ALTERNATE ROUTES that may…

On any journey, some signs I see really do not have…

TOPS Healthy Lifestyle: Follow the Signs – High Crash Zone

Rick Danforth / January 31, 2025

When it comes to travel, statistics can be helpful and concerning at the same time. I EXPECT DELAYS at the airport since it seems to happen every time I fly. I can look at statistics to determine which airline I should use to avoid these. That is a way I can have a little control. When on the road, I…

TOPS Healthy Lifestyle: Follow the Signs – Expect Delays

Rick Danforth / January 17, 2025

It is very frustrating when, after taking great care in planning to attend an event, verifying the route and allowing for enough time to get there, I see an EXPECT DELAYS sign on the horizon. The delay is completely out of my control. However, the event I so carefully planned to attend will not wait until I arrive. I must…

TOPS Healthy Lifestyle – Follow the Signs: One Way

Rick Danforth / December 13, 2024

…and now back to the next sign. I refracted with ALTERNATE ROUTES several months ago and this next sign certainly reinforces that blog. As much as I sometimes wish things could be ONE WAY, they are not. If my personal journey on this earth, and society in general, had not used ALTERNATE ROUTES, healthy growth and change would never have…
