I tried a little walking out on the street yesterday and this morning. Now the .75 mile has me so stiff and sore that I have not made much progress in taking down Christmas. But there is tomorrow, and then another tomorrow. By the weekend we should have everything put away, put back, and a clean house.<br />I will do what I can to keep moving. I can live vicariously through you.Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-44670971758465713402023-01-02T15:56:07.241-08:002023-01-02T15:56:07.241-08:00Your opening photo is great and I can see how that...Your opening photo is great and I can see how that view inspires you. I love the way your dad offered a prayer each Christmas that you would all be together again the next Christmas. The death of 3 highly accomplished individuals, all within one day, was just difficult to fathom and I’m so with you about how that made me think about the brevity of life and how little we know about what is to come. I wish you good luck on your resolution for the new year … finding a new yoga studio and attending classes. I appreciated your mention of Barbara Walters having advanced dementia and how brain health can wreck our later years. Like you, I have those little memory slips that are so annoying, yet, as we are told, are completely normal. As far as what’s to come … yes, let’s pray for the end of the war in Ukraine. And, for those who are suffering from homelessness, let’s hope they can find their own way to safety. Happy New Year to you and SG and best wishes for 2023!

You have the gift of assimilating what is happening and drawing forth from those events the kernel of truth we all seek. Thank you for being the philosopher of the blogging world! At least that is how I think of you postings on this blog. Do you read the daily free newsletter from the historian Heather Cox Richardson? I think you would fine it enlightening. It puts what happening in our country in perspective for ma and all her readers. Happy New Year, DJan, from Dee and the cats.

I will start the year with knee surgery and recovery which is not going to be fun, but being able to walk without pain is worth it. Having been diagnosed with a heart problem in 2022, was a real downer, but I am going to live each day as it comes and look for positive aspects of my life. In this stage of life, I fear the medical world doesn't have much for me, so I must concentrate on living a healthy lifestyle as well as I can and, important to me, improve my social life which will improve my mental health. All this time of being isolated and living like a recluse is not good for me. But, I pray for our world to find peace and to love more than hate. May your 2023 be healthy and happy, DJan. Thanks for your comment on my blog. I can't seem to leave a comment on my own blog.

I had a lovely weekend at the cabin -- that's how I always like to end and begin a year. I also want to get back into a better health routine this year. I've slacked off a bit.

Who says numbers (like one's age) determines what a person can & cannot do? You prove that cliche wrong every week. But I can understand you questioning life's frailties too (I had no idea Barbara Walters was living with dementia) and all we can do is keep on keeping on. Here's to a healthy, enlightened 2023 my friend.

It is hard to tell if it is just being so tired or grieving or medications. I do not wish Dementia on anyone and wonder why we cannot come up with a cure.

So little sometimes that I wonder if it helps, but I hope it does. (I read "Still Alive" years ago... such a sad scary scenario) But it is what it is... and with the grace of God, we can handle it.
