Wonders of Something New

When you are old, you sort of rivet on those "changes" that speak to the fact that you remain human. I am still a person that is focused on "schedules": I tend to go to bed at the same time, eat the same stuff, exercise with the same routine, read.

Everyone once in a while, I change! Wow!

During the summer, I added to my routine my adding swimming each day. It is so accessible. What is easier than walking across the street. Since then, I have maintained that routine for all the days that I have been here (went to New Orleans for Thanksgiving). When the surf is up, I use the boogie board; otherwise, I am swimming about 300 yards (three football fields).

And now that my wife has pointed out my slouching posture, I am adding Yoga! I am just starting with positions designed to improve posture. It will probably add the better part of an additional half-hour to my day, but I am sort of enjoying these changes. I would like to think that it is a sign that I am human.
