I read my sister's blog and was awestruck at the similarity in mindset regarding the death of our Sister and how it impacted each of us. It has been six years and it feels like a blink. I said I was heading to the gym at eight thirty and but got distracted reading on line and now it is eight forty five!
But I am on my way today - three days in a row to our local gymnasium. Tomorrow I will be able to go swimming. Saturday morning is all children's lessons. I have a sore shoulder, possibly for over-extending myself and pretending I am still forty instead of almost sixty. There are lots of other activities I can do. Cross trainer burns 300 calories in thirty minutes! Then I use the bikes, the treadmill and I can work with the hand weights to keep my arm muscles from shrinking.
When I work out and sweat I feel lifted. My endorphins begin flowing again and I look on the world through brighter eyes and with a happier spirit. The sun is lifting in the sky this morning and I have weeding to do, housework to keep my busy. At noon I will make a trip into work to see how Bridget is doing and see that she gets a break. There are always chores to be done but there is none more important than taking care of my spirit holder. In doing so, I take care of my spirit.
Thank you Linda, I like this.
