I’ve been travelling and have had blogging on the back burner for several days. It’s always good to get back to Eye on the Edge. It seems like in every one of your posts I find something that hits home so perfectly … In this post it’s your mention of putting life into chapters. That seems to be a great way to get my mind around all the parts of life. Your chapter on the blogosphere started in 2009 and I started just after that in late 2010, but it was several more years before I found Eye. It has really turned out to be a pleasure and I sure enjoy following you. In the year ahead I’m looking forward to seeing how your new volunteer work will unfold. Thanks for sharing your blog.John's Islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618219887687125402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-30802670429106136242016-01-16T10:03:32.783-08:002016-01-16T10:03:32.783-08:00I love that you've found the place that's ...I love that you've found the place that's right for you to give your time and service.

I had no idea that in giving blood, I would find something I so strongly want to do more for. Because I donate double red cells, I can only donate every 112 days. This year, I'm ready to step up and give my time between donations and help volunteer at drives. The volunteer women have really inspired me. <br />Sending a strong squeeze of the hand as we go forward in the new year, DJan!amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413812739575222069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-38080540803051259722016-01-16T10:03:23.819-08:002016-01-16T10:03:23.819-08:00I love that you've found the place that's ...I love that you've found the place that's right for you to give your time and service.

I try not to schedule myself too tightly. I enjoy the freedom of retirement. I do modified Yoga stretches every morning - they save my back and help my posture. I think I'm on the final chapter, but I'm hoping to add a postscript.

As for chapters in a life, I don't think I'm on the last chapter, I hope, but the story is winding down. <br /><br />I am looking into finding a place for gentle yoga. The Y doesn't offer much in that area of instruction. I see my back doc tomorrow. I hope he will release me to do some yoga.

So I don't feel too guilty. I am certain you will take on this latest challenge of yours with the utmost understanding and dignity!

I love the idea looking back on life as 'chapters' that can be looked at again and again. That is very helpful and philosophical. Sometimes I look at my own life and it seems full and even adventurous at times. But then again, sometimes it feels dull and unimaginative -- it all depends on the day. You are a fine example of how to live one's life and it is a great privilege to have you as a blogging friend.The Broadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04976467218216864644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-54271334124563315432016-01-10T21:59:28.903-08:002016-01-10T21:59:28.903-08:00Those are photoshopped hamsters.

You will be wonderful!<br /><br />You will know which is the perfect yoga group or groups for you. You might like more than one. :)<br /><br />My life has been chapter-filled! To the brim. I have a lot to look back on. Good and bad, I wouldn't change a thing.

True co-operation. <br />How nice that you can follow your gear and its new owner. It really did go to a good home. You can vicariously still dive. <br />You are really making an effort to see all the Oscar nominations.

We fans are all wondering which team will show up, the one that defeated the Cardinals so soundly last week, or the one that lost so miserably at home the week before.<br />The sky is clear this morning. Looks like there'l be a walk somewhere this afternoon. <br />I appreciate you movie reviews. I hope to get to see the nominated movies, but with ten potential award winners, that may be hard to do. Unlike you, I don't have a head start!<br />Wishing you smooth sailing in the week ahead.<br /><br />Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.com
