September 21, 2025 Happy Equinox Eve



(I just completed the 15 minute walking workout with Yes2Next--definitely got my heart rate up---126 at one point.  I need to see how the heart rate does with sustained arm/leg combos after 2 heart surgeries)

                                            Autumm Equinox is Monday, September 22, 2025

It's time for pumpkins!  :).  Maybe I could make something this simple again?? :)

I have started trying to incorporate some exercise into my day.  One of the bloggers that I follow had posted that she does Yes2Next videos, gentle exercise with light weights and also gentle yoga that daughter/mother lead on YouTube.  They may be easy enough for me now but let me tell you, I have only done a few of them and I am sore.  LOL

My oldest sister is 89.  She's been in the hospital almost a week now, since this past Tuesday, and they finally did a brain MRI on her yesterday.  It was as I had suspected-----she's had another stroke.  Her mind has always been really sharp but this time she is really confused and forgetful.  Not being able to remember is so frustrating for her.  I don't know how long she will have to be there, and they will likely send her to rehab next, but she has lived alone up to this point, and that may not be an option going forward. She will most definitely not be happy about that if that is the ultimate decision this time.  She will not give in gracefully, and I totally understand where she's coming from, but our options are severely limited.   She has one son who does all he can to do to help her, and he tries so hard to follow all of her wishes.  *sigh*. Aging is such a struggle for some of us.

“Today must not be a souvenir of yesterday, and so the struggle is everlasting. That struggle is to find in each new day, all over again the beauty of self; the beauty of nature, the beauty of the immediate.” - Robert Henri
