A LITTLE TOUR

Today was the first sunny day I have had, so I decided to make a video of the outside. Actually, it turned into two videos.

As I said in the first video, I was hoping to sit out there this evening to do a bit of star gazing, which is one of the Soul Matters spiritual practice options; however, it has really clouded up again, so I may need to look at another option…just in case.

I met Gloria and Sally this morning at Tuesday market. The market is always fun. You never know whom you’re going to run into. I saw Beth, faithfully sitting in her place outside the market, where she has a table set up for Los Animales. She is a true animal lover. She reminds me of my friend, Bambi Kehler. They have truly found their passion in their love for animals.

I didn’t think of it until now, but I should have done a short video of the market. I’ve done it in the past. Well, there will be many Tuesdays to come.

We dropped Gloria off at the Haven (gym), and Sally brought me home where we sat and had a great visit. I had her try out the Meta Quest 2. Hilarious. Always is when a person tries it for the first time.

After I finish here, I plan to put the headset on again and try to figure out how Michele and I can do our boxing workout together in the same room. Not as easy as we thought. I’m finding the learning curve to be a bit choppy. Not sure if it’s me or them. I just have to get my system down. Right now so much is hit or miss. I need a manual!!

I’m going to do a beginner workout today. I was going to wait, but I changed my mind. I find that my newest adventure is learning more about chronic pain and how much of it is in our minds. After listening to just a few conversations online, I’m beginning to believe that my back pain stems back to an accident I had in 1978 in which I was hit by a car while riding my bike. I sustained a T12 fracture, which I’m now thinking is not that big of a deal, but I think that cognitively I’ve been protecting myself ever since. Although my current issue is due to an acute injury, I realize I’ve been dealing with back issues on and off since the accident. This will be a very interesting journey.

Ash sent me a text today with drills that he has designed for me. It looks like fun. I am so happy that I discovered a love for this art. While I am doing it, I feel such joy. I know that there is nothing else that I should be doing. Who knew?

Barb asked if I wanted to drive into David with her tomorrow. She has a medical appointment. Sounds good to me!
