Qi Gong

I miss my class. I had to stop for the ELUNA conference, and then chemo, and haven't been back since. My friend went, but the class had been cancelled, so neither of us has returned. I have a video of Tai Chi that I watched, but it moves slowly. I am not sure I can stand to work through the movements at that pace, even if the guy is standing on a great beach with the sand and sun and rolling surf. Maybe I should look in the library to see if there are other recordings that might just move through the workout without all the talk about how to do it.

It was helping really. I should find another class and go. Another thing I should do - I guess I need someone to drag me along. I asked Drew to see to it that I walk every day at least around the complex, but his schedule and mine don't jive and so far I have been the one making him walk around the complex. When he does go, he wants to run for conditioning for soccer playing in the fall. And I am not into running, no way, no shape, no how.

There is a solution. I will eventually figure it out. Right now though, I am thinking and hoping that when the pool opens I will have the temerity to swim at least on the week ends. I even asked my downstairs neighbor to go with me, hoping she would encourage me to go when I am more likely to pass. She agreed, but I know her arthritis doesn't do well with cold water, so I am suspecting we are both out of luck. Ah, well. Guess I should look for inspiration elsewhere.
