Where did LifeNuts come from?

One day my wife called me a “health nut,” which carries a negative connotation to some although it doesn’t bother me … much. I thought about it for a second and then retorted, “I’m not a health nut; I’m a life nut.” I love life, its challenges, and the people I encounter each day. I enjoy having a low BMI that gives me loads of energy to exercise daily. I like turning the lemons of life into lemonade. I look at stress, the assortment of life’s ever-occurring changes, as a challenge that tests my mettle. I stay in the present moment, forget about the past, and don’t get too caught up in the future. I love my wife, my children, and my grandchildren (Oh yeah, I’m a senior citizen).
So, yes, I must be a life nut, I thought. And that’s how the name evolved.
