September 4, 2020 . . .

It’s hard to believe that nearly a week has gone by already. It’s been a busy week.
A friend of mine says that I shouldn’t talk about falling – I should instead talk about gravity. Anyway, the other day I did something less than wise and checked out gravity, and as a result, I missed a few boxing lessons. Well, I think the aches and pains have mostly cleared up, to the point that I can begin boxing again. (I think my pride might take a little bit longer!)
Yesterday, I walked about half a block, then turned around and walked home. Not much, but it’s a start! Every day I’ll try to go a bit farther. Today, I made it all the way to Prince Road! Not too bad, considering it’s me and my walker!
This morning, also, Inge and I got a phone call. It was Jane Foster with some very good news – South Windsor Seniors will probably meet in January! Inge and I immediately said that we would go.
In any case, I’ve been thinking about my plan. I think the plan needs one more thing – precaution. So, I think I need to add that I’ll follow the recommendations of the health leaders. That being said, the final plan (at least, I think it’s the final plan) looks like this:

• 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. (I don’t drive any more)
  
• Do one lesson each day from ‘Speak Out!’ (This will exercise my throat muscles)
  
• Follow all recommendations given by the Health leaders, for the duration of Covid-19.  (physical distancing, frequent hand washing, self- quarantine if I’m supposed to, wear a face mask when physical distancing is not possible, etc.)
  
• Continue to do Rock Steady Boxing

So, that’s my plan. That’s how I intend to open up, personally.
Please be careful . . .
Stay safe, stay well, get some fresh air if you can, and keep smiling . . .
‘til we meet again . . .
