Just sittin' here in our cozy little home on wheels, listening to the rainstorm blow in … and feeling very, very good about where our Life is at 👩❤️💋👨
In the moment.
It’s no secret that staying active is important for healthy aging, but not every workout needs to involve breaking a sweat 🏋️♀️
The Lying Down Single Leg Kick exercise is generally considered safe for a senior woman to perform, provided she is comfortable with the exercise and can maintain proper form. It is important to listen to her body and stop if she feels any discomfort or pain.
Lying Down Single Leg Kick; Do 2 sets of 5 repetitions per leg for a total of 10 per leg
Pilates leg kick - or lying down single-leg kick, looks deceptively gentle … but this one simple move can do wonders for your hip mobility and core strength, challenging the hamstrings, glutes, promotes flexibility in the hip flexors & shoulder girdle stability; which are essential for healthy movement and pain-free activities. The exercise can help in addressing any muscle imbalances between the left and right sides, contributing to a more symmetrical physique. It is a valuable addition to any fitness regimen, whether at home or in the gym.
Hand and Grip Strength exercises are essential for day-to-day activities like opening jars, buttoning shirts, carrying groceries, and even supporting balance. The good news? These simple exercises can be done anywhere, any time.
Hands; 10–15 repetitions per hand
Last night my hands really ached from all the busy work they have been engaged in, and I was refusing Holland's offer to do the dishes for me - being a bachelor for a couple decades, he knows how to do housework chores: being in a marriage relationship now, I prefer to do the housework chores. So, when I refused for the 3rd time his offer to do the dishes to give my overworked hands a rest … he cracks off with, "okay - be a female chauvinist pig, then." And I burst out laughing for a good 5 minutes, saying, "Yes, I suppose I am. I guess I do have the attitude that no one can do these things as well as I can & I bogart the activities to get them done the way I want them done. But I gotta say, you are getting away with saying things no one else would have dared - and I'm laughing while you are getting away with it: also, an unusual happening. In this marriage, I'm relaxed in response to your 'woman' comments - because I know now that you are not considering me a domestic slave or treating me like a bonded whore, as the redmill side of your family does … it's more in line with the Harris side of your family, and having met the Harris men, it's not a mean term used in a mean manner: I can accept that. And now, I am actually laughing in response to your 'female chauvinist' quip - mainly because I can't argue the point." And, he's learning to take teasing comments coming from my end, in stride, too.
We have finally arrived at a comfortable place in our marital relationship 💓
Allowing ourselves to loosen our personal grips with “control over my own life” is kinda scary - but it's also kinda exciting in it's own way, as neither of us have ever walked this particular path before. Aging allows freedoms youth shuts down out of preservation defiance.
A relaxed unification is strengthening 🤝😘
Walking together into 2026 looks to be encouraging 👏
And it's a welcome occurrence 💞

Most of what happened today was me sitting and waiting 🙄 sketchy internet connection out: not sure it's all server trouble - I'm pretty sure my laptop is misfiring 😑; a new one 💰💻 may be needed.
