Odds and sods
I decided to that I need to a bit more upbeat. I am actually feeling somewhat good these days. We are lucky to have a small pool in our building so we do exercises there 3 times a week. I am trying to walk 3 times a week though my back and hips complain. Joe's anti inflammatory cream helps. And on the mornings that I wake early, I am meditating. I'm not good at it but there are guided meditations on line. I think stress and Covid knocked me for a loop as I have not felt well for a very long time.
The bee in my bonnet these days is that we used to have a seniors fitness class at our community hall. It stopped with Covid and despite requests to have it reinstated, nothing is happening except excuses "Brenda can't come on Tuesday and the hall is booked on Monday". I know we have more than one instructor in Calgary - in fact I know one who is far better qualified than Brenda and is available!! So in a half an hour I am off to talk to the board. They are asking for folks to volunteer. Here I am!!!
I am getting excited as we go to Ottawa in a month to hang with Cevyn and the twins. I am hoping to meet up with some nursing classmates as well. They live in Belleville and Peterborough. It is a couple of hours drive so here's hoping the weather is good!
Now it is off to schmooze. I hate schmoozing but I guess it has got to be done! Cheers!

Have a beautiful day!! I hope the classes resume for you! Schmooze away!!
Those twins mut be getting big!!!! How wonderful that you get to visit them. Safe travels when you go !!!! love you!
I'm not good at meditation either! I try....but my mind wanders too much. Maybe I should try the guided meditations?
Hopefully you got some good feedback and results after your talk with the board...and good for you for stepping in and making things happen, or at least getting the ball rolling in that direction! Glad you're walking and swimming as regularly as possible. Physical exercise, I've found, is maybe even better for my state of mind, than for my "fluffy" body....although my fluff definitely gets the benefit too!
I know you'll enjoy your time with your girls. Please tell Cevyn I said hello.
Love and hugs,
Teri
Hugs and love.
I am trying to get back to regular walking as I saw the scale moving upward. I have a few days of dieting and making the goal under my belt. Yay. Best wishes with your wishes for an exercise class. I admire you in so many ways for all you have done and do. I wish you safe travels and happy hugs!
