SEARCHING FOR BALANCE

Things seem a little better this week. But still we are keeping life very simple as we try to find a little bit of a balance to life. We've been exercising each morning...Jeff in the little workout room here at our apartments and I walking about a mile to a little park. In the afternoons Jeff is giving me a lot of joy by going with me to another little park to which we drive. There is a trail there that measures .6 mile so is a good second walk of the day. Today we may do 2 laps around.

Yesterday afternoon, rather than walking, we went to the mall to look for a pair of new shoes for Jeff as his heals are beginning to bother him. We did get some walking in at the mall and found a pair of shoes, too. I'm so glad to see that he is finally hitting his stride again. It was a long healing process since the hip replacement 3 years ago.

Today he was saying he needs to find a job to produce "widgets." In other words, he's bored. I actually think it is a good thing as he's moved away from that dark inner place he's been of late. But I suggested that we think of getting hobbies rather than changing careers right now. He seemed to agree to that. So we're going to research parks in the area to visit then also research hobbies on line. He's a great one for researching things before launching into anything.
