image from dkimages As an admitted exercise junkie, I've done some casual reading about physiology.

Productivity
photo from gearfire.netWhat does it mean to you to be productive? It seems there are stages of productivity in life. My thirties were literally about producing babies and breast milk, in retrospect.
