Tooth brush and clean underwear

Waves roll over me. 

I think my son is out to kill me. I've been talking about taking Yoga lessons. In my attempt to stretch my body and joints. Being a son that listens, he found a beginner's yoga session in YouTube. 

With a promise to do it, with his accountability, we text, I did  my first session this morning. Silly me, to think that it would be easy for this old man to do, I quickly found myself out of breath within the first couple of minutes. 

Know that this is something new for me, I persisted onward. I did have to stop and take a breather along the way, and at the end, I still couldn't just lay there on the floor, stretched out like a dead body ( even though I felt like a dead body). 

I've decided that "What the hell." if I don't do anything to loosen me up, I'll just get stiffer and sorer as years go by. Better start something now, then wait until I'm stiff as a board. Any wagers on how sore I'll be tomorrow? 

Thursday

It has been 35 days since Sweetie went home, and this is the first Thursday since I've been back from California. It was also the best day since I've been back. 

Thursday is my busy day. Starting off with my Bible study, then to the course for a round of golf, and then, usually home for being lazy. 

This day started normally enough, with the first exception. This is the day I took some of Sweetie with me to the golf course. 

My plan was to put some of her on all the places she would of joined me. On the tees and on the greens. And so, I also wanted to play as a single while I did this. Talking to her as we went. She is now there, as it was before she left me. 

After my round, I spied a friend on the driving range, and stopped to talk with him. He was just finishing his warm up, and was going to go out and play the course. 

Something new, I can, and did asked if I could join him. For now, I don't have to rush off anymore. So, I stayed and played another 9 holes. 

Wouldn't you know it, another gentleman just happened to show up, and he joined us. So, we are now a threesome. As we played, we joked, laugh, praised each others shots, and, for me, it was like a coming out party for me. They were just what the doctor ordered. 

Afterwards, went into the cafe and had some lunch, and watched the masters. It was a joy. 

Then it was home to get Tweety and head to a brush less car wash. Taking my after the wash cleaning supplies, off we went. 

After the wash, a wipe down, and cleaning the windows, headed to Costco to get a tank of gas. Got home just in time to head back out to a meeting, which again, it was a great meeting with more people then normal. 

Home to a phone call from my Cali daughter, and she is such a mother. "When are you going to see the doctor about your cough?" "When we go to Pensacola, you're going to have to take more than a toothbrush and clean underwear." Wish I'd never said that, because she isn't going to let me live it down. 

Driver is smiling at the day. He knows that everything is going to be alright now. I know that too. I've always known it, it was just finding the starting line. Found it! There are going to many a day that I'll be up and I'll be down, but through it all, I'll be having my Shiny Side up. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless. Arthur.
