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.

That is horrid news about your sister! I agree that aging can be such an enemy. I fully realize that we cannot stop time but really, time can be so cruel for some people! I send you my best wishes and prayers for your sister. My husband and I are trying to do lots more daily walks. I put a pedometer app on my phone and I truly love it! Just walking around Costco is .8 mile. I consider that a walk for the day. For me the consistency of daily movement has been very beneficial. I rarely go for longer than two miles. Sometimes we drive to a different part of town to have a different walk. Things look quite amazing when viewed from pedestrian level.
I am so sorry to hear about your sister, Angie. But your blog is colorful and was a nice spot to rest my eyes after discovering that I missed Grace Forrests last week or so before Typepad shut down for good. I know you loved her blog too! Too many online changes now as we all get older and older and losses of all kinds are increasing in our lives. Hope you and your beautiful heart are doing as well as can be expected in our upside down reflection of a world. Much big love to you...today and always.
