Time After Time (Song, Cindy Lopper)

Hello Grafted in Readers,

I do appreciate your readership and time, and hope many of these posts are informative and or thought provoking for all of us. If you have been around my blog a while, you may recall last December I had a mini-stroke. Though much of my speech has returned, and endurance is improving, keeping active is something that requires commitment on my part.

A recent edition of "Housecall", the Mayo Clinic newsletter, offered some helpful tips toward staying active. Key exhortation, Do something.

-Exercise to give yourself the gift of energy and improve sleep.
-Focus on the future, maintaining health, is your reason for exercise commitment.
-Vary activities. Exercise alone and with others . Walks, biking or swimming for example.
-Take an exercise class at a fitness center.
-Drive less and walk a little more.
-Gradually work your way up to 30 minutes of exercise daily.

Final thought: "Sticking to a regular exercise schedule isn't easy." Mayo Clinic.

Next post will feature either a short story or poem by yours truly. Thanks again. If you want too, leave a comment, okay?
