At the same time, doing this brings joy to yourself - can it get any better?<br />It has turned rather warm here now, today the forecast is for up to 24 Celsius; almost a little too warm, too fast. But I'm not complaining, as I enjoy warmth and sunshine a lot more than cold and damp.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-42624331692416595462019-04-18T23:04:29.894-07:002019-04-18T23:04:29.894-07:00Well I tripped over the rug yesterday, but being s...Well I tripped over the rug yesterday, but being small it doesn't do much harm.

I confess I forget some days, but I'm surprised how much of an improvement I've noticed. Every little bit helps, Pat. I'm glad the weather is turning. Doesn't it make a difference!

What a gift-and I understand about it being humbling too. I often feel that way when I tell stories.<br /><br />My cousin John above said he was number three, so I guess I'm starting a new round of 3's, as I fell yesterday in the garden. A small stick rolled under my foot and down I went. It was an easy fall on soft ground, thank goodness, so nothing much hurt.<br /><br />In the 80's here, when usually it is in the 60's and 70's this time of year. I do not enjoy hot weather.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-63314336848623675832019-04-18T15:55:23.756-07:002019-04-18T15:55:23.756-07:00I went yesterday to an Alzheimer's conference ...I went yesterday to an Alzheimer's conference day put on by the local Alzheimer's Association. I accompanied my very good friend, whose husband has the disease. The conference was for caregivers and was excellent. We attended a session on legal issues including being able to afford long term care when it is necessary, and a session on how to take care of yourself physically and emotionally when you are a caregiver. Such a horrible disease that attacks so many people. One thing that was mentioned several times yesterday was the importance of music. It not only influences mood, but also stimulates memory, and is generally good for brain function. So you are doing a wonderful thing with your ukuleles!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03107838233635613580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-3049979910104479092019-04-18T12:22:33.776-07:002019-04-18T12:22:33.776-07:00Well, maybe I'm number three: I put my foot in...Well, maybe I'm number three: I put my foot in a rabbit hole while out walking.

How wonderful for them and rewarding for you. Yes, the older we get the more dangerous those falls can be. I have always been bad about rushing around and then tripping over my feet so I keep trying to make myself slow down and be more careful.<br /><br />I hope you have a lovely Easter!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17738727252267659979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-79253728021001397202019-04-18T12:11:20.536-07:002019-04-18T12:11:20.536-07:00I am not a steady on my feet as I was and take gre...I am not a steady on my feet as I was and take great care not to leave things where I might trip over them. We can't be too careful, can we? So pleased you get as much pleasure from your ukulele afternoons as those you play for. It does sounds such fun and a good sing-song cheers everyone.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-59613075386980325472019-04-18T11:41:43.490-07:002019-04-18T11:41:43.490-07:00What a happy post, you really sound positive.

Although I am only 48, I have had a bit of trouble with one of my feet & have not been very mobile since last Sept. I noticed that besides muscle mass, balance was one of the first things to go. Enjoy your spring weather. xBeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886227825064266814noreply@blogger.com
