August 25, 2020 . . .

Today I read about the Gross Domestic Product forecast being worse than expected and yesterday the news was that Covid-19 was expected to be around us for two years or more. So, what to do about it? We’ll just have to change a bit and, most of all – open up! I’m committed to change, so here goes!
Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Today is the day that I have decided that nothing is going to hold me back! I still don’t know how I can do everything, but I have some ideas. I think what is driving all this is that I’ve finally been cooped up so long that if I don’t do something about it, I’ll burst, or something.
I’ll need a careful plan. I decided about a month ago to quit driving, as Inge, my wife says, my reflexes are not the same as when I was a twenty-year-old. And, I think I told you my health is a bit compromised, so I’ll have to be a little more careful than most. So, all in all, I’ll need to plan, but to plan carefully.
I know that walking is about the best thing I can do, so the first step in my new plan is:

• Walk outside any day that it’s not raining and is under 28 degrees
  
• Go to church any day that I can get a ride.

That’s my plan. It’s not very challenging, but for me it’s enough to start with. I’ll let everyone know how it goes each week.
Please be careful . . .
Stay safe, stay well, get some fresh air if you can, and keep smiling . . .
‘til we meet again . . .
