volunteer thing today

I'm going to a volunteer event at a local foodbank today.

We'll be serving meals to folks who are experiencing

hard times. My Dad, Stepmom and I initially intended to

go together, but now, because of a complication, I am going by myself.

It should be fun even so!

When I get home I've got a third of a chicken pot pie to

eat for lunch that we, the three of us, started to eat last night...

it's super good, so that should be nice. 

I want to exercise as well.

As a tangent to all this, I am so coming aware that as a younger

person, keeping physically active used to be so easy and wanted!

Now that I am 54, and since I have had emotional challenges that have forced

me to work on my frame of mind rather than just my physical whim, I find it

much harder to motivate to get exercising.

Also the body that I used to have, isn't there anymore - I am a lot more stiff

and not as sure on my feet!! 

I really want to get back into a routine of 'sanus corpus sana mente.'

It's unnerving a bit - (to expose myself to the forces of my physicality)

but I am realizing it's so essential to quality of life -

good stretching - good exercising... I guess if I think about it 'in balance'

I can't be focused on all body or all mind. So it'll be somewhere in between..ahhh peace!
