body balance.....stretchy stuff

Body balance challenge ......

Yep I know what the picture sais...  ' leaves you feeling calm and centered '  




I have been doing body balance for about 12 months....twice a week....I wish I was doing it more !!!

I absolutley love it.... but it is so so tough!!!

when I say to people that i do a body balance class... the reply can often be

'oh that stretchy class?'

well yes, it is a stretchy class, but also so much more
to be honest, when I first decided to have a go I did think it was probably going to be one of the easier
well you know what they say about assumption !!!!
Oh my.... 
of course it can be as hard or as easy as you want it to be..... you work to where you feel comfortable
but that was never going to be my goal .....everything in life is a challenge for me, including this!!!
I push myself to the limit and I love it..I come out of the class feeling like I not only have really challenged myself but also feeling accomplished..that I did my best.. better than when I went in, and lets face it we cant ask for much more
result being, I feel stronger, fitter, more flexible, improved balance, and yes calmer and less stressed (especially when I do a class when I am under a lot of stress...without a doubt )
I am currently following
did i mention that we have two fantastic motivating, passionate teachers...  thank you x
I will update this blog and let you know how it goes..... wish me luck   

so pinch me

cus every now and then...it just hits you



each breath we take is a blessing others dont have..... be thankful 

 Enjoy Life 

Thought for today...

Simple ....????   have a fab day

multi tasking

Is it even possible...


 

Well lets face it we do it every day ....

But even i struggled with trying to dry my hair and brush my teeth at the same time.....

  yep theres just some things that i just cant do at the same time!!!!!     

When a golden heart stops beating

I love 99% of the people that I meet in my job  ( well there's always that 1% !!!  )
Seriously there great.  And usually while there waiting for the appointment they tell me a little about themselves
So over the last 18 months that I have been in my job I have heard quite a few stories...and some of the px come back every 6-8 weeks....so I get to know their life story .......
Take today....I'll call her my Frend...(cus truthfully I talk to em more than I talk to my frends )  lost her husband a while back...married for 50 years....(That's a life time for some)  she said
'I spose for sum they might be glad to b rid of em !!!!  But not me...he was my soul mate...my Frend...been togetha since we was teenagers'
She told me how he told her he wouldn't leave her and how she feels he hasn't...she tells him all about her day and what she's done...
'Bet ye think I'm mad don't ye ? ' she asks me
No I don't think you're mad....  I think u miss your soul mate very much indeed
( excuse the blog type....done on mobile x )

When Death comes knocking..............

Yes this really sounds sad and depressing.  And I apologise in advance 

.but when we hear that someone has passed away, it stirs many emotions...grief..hopelessness... and theres more ....devastating....scary....lonely..numb ( sometimes we dont really know how we feel ?..how should we feel ? )..but ..all these things and many more..

But if theres one things that s for sure...its that it is going to affect us all at one time or another during our lifetime.....

Because a heart has stopped beating....

What I have learnt from my job over the last 14 months is that life is very special....and very short...( even if we are lucky enought to live til we are 100 !!! )   ask any 100 plus 

Most will tell you that their life has fled past and that 21 seemed only yesterday....

For a lot of people life is a lot lot shorter ( unfortunatley )

most through no fault of their own are snatched away in their prime...... ( some through abuse and ignorance )

Yes we could say well its their own fault....they should of done this or they shouldnt of done that....but we dont know their situation....the whys or whos

If there is a positive side to someone dying... it has to be a reminder to the rest of us that life is for living...

look around...the beauty that sorrounds us.... enjoy the experience ...make the memories....count your blessings   And theres more......

THANK THE LORD......

.Its a gift.....Embrace it

1m 89 how did that happen

There are some wonderful old people out there......and i'm sure most of them are wondering 
'how the hell did i get to be this age '




they all have some wonderful stories to tell...with most of them going through at least one World War !!
and if you ask them , most of them will be happy to tell you a tale or two 
    joking apart.....
the experiences they have been through make them the people they are,,,,experiences that we can only dream about or nightmare about !!!

Great old folk with lots to tell....so next time some old dear or old fella starts wittering on.....take a few minutes to listen to their tale...
chances are it will make you smile ....and at the very least it will make you think........


Old folks are worth a fortune,

with silver in their hair,
gold in their teeth,
stones in their kidneys,
lead in their feet and
gas in their stomachs.
