Well, one week has gone by. It does not seem like retirement yet. There have been some other issues going on this last week that I will eventually talk about. But for now, I am working on trying to stay healthy myself. I always exercise each day, but I am concentrating a little more on the resistance side of exercise. I need to plan for the Senior Games come August in Huron! I have been spending more time out in the Reiflex Center. Also, now that I have recovered from my blood clot, I can do more things with my legs, including lifting, walking, and running. Now that I have more time, not only to fit it into my schedule easier, but also allow more time for recovery.

There is almost an unlimited number of different exercises to work on, and you feel different muscles being used all of the time. I can also now slow down some and not have to be in as big of a hurry to get through it as well. It really is fun, and it does not take long to see improvement.

I have also gotten to be much more flexible in the time I can go out for taking pictures of sunsets and sunrises. I don’t have to worry about still being in clinic and working or not. There have been some interesting ones already this week.

For right now, I am going to take it as it comes. I have a long list of projects to work on, and I have to figure out where and how I want to start first. It still feels like every day is a Saturday, so I need to get my calendar figured out. It will get there. I just need to relax and enjoy, and remember I don’t have to be in as big of a hurry for most things…at least for now! Maybe things going forward will change this. I see traveling into the future. Overall plan is still to run in every state in the U.S. I have 15 states left to hit! Strive to Survive…right? Keep moving everybody!
