Life Gets Tedious, Don’t It?…………..

The words to the old song by Peter Lind Hayes ring true for me more and more as a realization of my wonderfully active life having limits hits me. So what I need to do is transfer that physical energy to what my body dictates. My wonderful daughters have joined me in pursuit of that actuality.

So instead of walking multiple miles outside each day, I am safely and comfortably walking in water at Sentara Wellness Center, and adding back some gentle yoga that I enjoyed in the past with a bit of balance and stretching exercise, I found a new way.

I find a certain satisfaction and a bit of chest-pounding victory in being able to transition, for at a time in life when we resist change, we are called on to make more changes than ever before in our lives! We need to, perhaps, move to more suitable living arrangements, address physical changes to health care, handle emotional losses in deaths of loved ones, so don’t call us old or weak, or passé. I have never been stronger in my life!
