Class

A lifetime ago I took several Tai Chi classes. This was before I knew D, so yes, a lifetime. Always wanted to continue the practice, but in a very short period of time, the movements leaked from my memory. Yesterday the continuing ed catalogue appeared at work, as an employee I get a discount, so I combed through for a physical class I could attend. Many of them, the vast majority, were day classes, which is hopeless for me. But one worked, one evening one day a week, tai chi. With the added advantage that it's not entirely new. Movement to improve my worsening balance, strengthen my center without stressing my back. A gift of grace not to be overlooked.

I don't really need a class for mental stimulation. I do need this encouragement for exercise. Some days, this is going to be a difficult choice, to go to class rather than come home immediately. Some days, when work runs long on that evening, I will be late. But I will go, I will be there.

D made us breakfast this morning. He really is lovely.
