I've thought about taking it because I've taken a few falls in the past years and would like to improve my balance. But I'm not a joiner.

I am relying on bugging my congressmen, his own self implosion and our system to see us through. You sure are keeping busy though and I think we will all feel better when we can get our hands in the real dirt--natures dirt. We are just days away here.

I get my info from my friend who rants and raves enough for both of us, lol. <br />Your quilt is exquisite. I love how it is free flowing, and not perfectly symmetrical, like nature.<br /><br />Had to laugh at your TaiChi decision. I have been taking it for 7 years - the first 5 were wasted since I didn't practice at home at all, and each week would show up like a preschooler to learn the same thing again. Finally, I determined to get it so it could be a daily exercise for my lazy body and I started to practice the steps that I had just learned, every day, so I was ready for the next step at the lessons. I am now 2/3 into the entire set. Maybe in 6 months, I will get to the point of being able to do the whole long form set. Maybe, and most likely.Honolulu Auntyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06074623547288153953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-60138685319815763942017-02-20T12:30:02.678-08:002017-02-20T12:30:02.678-08:00I've never watched/listened to/ read so much n...I've never watched/listened to/ read so much news as lately.

I personally believe not doing doing something to add to the activism pool would be stressful as well. These are not ordinary times and we have to learn to pace ourselves for the long haul.Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-70978510758030491842017-02-19T18:01:09.938-08:002017-02-19T18:01:09.938-08:00I had to take a break from politics for a few hour...I had to take a break from politics for a few hours today. My tremors have been worse lately. I decided Trump stress might be a contributing factor. This afternoon I put away my iPad, took up my knitting, and listened to an audible book. The tremors improved. I'll be back at it tomorrow though. This is not the time to pull back. Now I'm pretty munched focused on Congress and what they're up to, letting the judicial system deal with Trump. Also trying to keep up with the various kinds of political activism.<br /><br />It's a wonderful rejuvenating experience to work with young people. Keeps us young in spirit. It seems to me walking is the best of exercising. I went for a walk this afternoon and it was wonderful. Your quilt project is lovely I'll enjoy seeing it finished. I no longer have my sewing machine. Daughter has it back in Texas. I'd rather knit than sew.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.com
