While you are reading your laptop, I am reading a mystery. Then I come into the office and do some volunteer work on Facebook, write something with a picture in my blog, and go walk or quilt. It took me forever to figure out you wrote just on Sunday's....silly me.Magehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333086721654817750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-24986471644274021582018-03-19T20:01:09.030-07:002018-03-19T20:01:09.030-07:00I have followed your Sunday thoughts for a bunch o...I have followed your Sunday thoughts for a bunch of years now!

First of all, I love the way you talk so openly and candidly about life. Just telling us about the yoga is pretty neat. I think I’ve mentioned before that I haven’t tried it, but I’m really considering giving it a try. There are some places down here in my neighborhood that are offering sessions for seniors who want to get started. Then, secondly, have you ever noticed how so many of your followers leave really thoughtful comments? I mean, most blogs get comments like nice photo, interesting stuff, etc. but most folks don’t really take the time to leave a thoughtful comment. I think you DO get them because your posts are so thoughtful and so well written. So, I thank you for sharing, and for your kind words that you leave for me. I really appreciate that! Wishing you a fine week ahead!

Yoga is a wonderful thing for many, and there are times when I have liked it, but I generally enjoy Pilates more. The problem is that I have done neither for too long. I am slowly getting more movement back into my life. Oh those ankles. I am usually ok when I get out of bed, but it is when I get out of a car after riding for any length of time when I feel like an old woman. Sometimes, I just have to move my feet around and get all the joints lined up in place before I step out. <br /><br />Aging. Isn’t fun? I like it better than the alternative. Aging. It looks great on you.

I like a good chat about the meaning of the tests. My doctor always says the test numbers are only approximate + or- something.

Also a bit envious of your yoga opportunities. We just don't have it offered here. <br />Good luck with your tests. Sounds like you have access to your patient portal. I love that service.<br />Didn't know there was a new vaccine. I've done shingles and if you can dodge it, do it. <br />Keep enjoying Spring.

I took it for years, but haven't in a very long time (we do a little stretching yoga at the end of our aerobic class). I should get back to it, but you know - I do find it hard to fit in all the things I'd like to do.<br /><br />And I'm so happy that everything with your eye surgery came out well. I too use progressive lens (which I needed for far vision after my cataract surgery). But I opted to not get the transitional this time as I really need more protection than the transitional (which I used for years) provide. I use the dark glasses that go over your regular ones and protect even the sides from the glare of the sun (since this can be a trigger for my migraines).<br /><br />And even though we go to bed around 10 each night, I'm plagued by the occasional 3 o'clock wake up. Usually I end up going to make myself a cup of tea, talking to the cats for a few minutes, and then back to bed. Most of the times this little diversion will end with me falling back asleep until 7 or 8. <br /><br />Have a great week!

Movement is essential in order to continue to be able to move. As I walk my body will loosen up and fall into a rhythm, usually. <br />I can relate to much of what you say. I don't see myself as doing yoga, however. I failed at tai chi, that is, I quit, because the movements are too subtle and the spiritual aspect meant nothing to me. I am a "get in and get her done" sort of person, raised that way back on the farm. <br />We have spent many hours working in the yard already as winter winds down. I am up close and personal with emerging spring. I makes me excited for life, even if the sky is gray. Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.com
