Such a tragedy to learn that Shane Bailey has passed away. Only 43 years old. I am sure it’s just an awful coincidence but there seems to be a lot of deaths lately, at least in the Pierre Part area and around. And I’ve just read on a Facebook a message a medical emergency that happened recently was for an elderly person who had a fall.
As an elderly person myself, I am terribly conscious these days of my own stability. That’s one of the big reasons for starting Yoga. My balance is not good and I don’t want to fall and break something. I find myself really watching for curbs, and those yellow concrete things marking parking spots and low hanging branches and steps and backing up in my car. Still, I realize all I can do is be careful because accidents happen so quickly and so unexpectedly. In my lifetime I’ve had many, many falls, some pretty bad ones, but only once did I break anything. That was enough. The break healed but led to several other complications which would have been nothing ordinarily. They certainly took the “wind out of my sails” so to speak. I’d been feeling pretty strong until then.
I had a meeting in Pierre Part this morning scheduled to begin at 8:15 so I set my bedside alarm and my iphone alarm also and then woke up an hour earlier, and realized I’d forgotten to change the clock time so, of course, I was wide awake at 5 a.m. I do wish the powers that be would just leave the time the way it is right now and not change it ever!
