Getting Older
   

Like many others my age, I have Osteoarthritis.I also have Diabetes 2
My life is slower now I can do less, but life goes on and I am learning to cope in a positive way. I'm learning Photoshop now and making Artist Trading Cards

I've been doing Podcasts and have quite a few online. These are free MP3 downloads some with Transcripts that detail the story of my life.

My hobbies are Crossstitch, Knitting, Cloth Doll Making, African Violets & Blues


I'm an old Folkie and occasionally still pick up a guitar to strum and sing a while

When you are in not so good health words take on different meanings

Exercise means - only as much as you can comfortably do without risking a relapse.

Relaxation/Rest means scheduled rests, and learning to relax consciously

Diet means - not too many empty carbohydrates and try to watch your weight. Hard to do when you're sedentary.

Stress can mean anything from a phone call to a worked-related stress, Small becomes big.

Pacing is the vital art of using the small amount of energy you have wisely and well.

Memory Fog
which means lapses in concentration that produce goofs like the spelling of the word exercise in this Sampler
    Word I will add the Sampler
Think I know it's hard to do but thinking out a task can save miles of effort in the long run.
