Busy week ahead with the youngest dgd having her 7th birthday Thursday. It's hard to believe we have had her 7 years now. I think grandchildren grow up faster then our children. We are having her party at the zoo. She has never had one before with friends so she is excited.
I have never done tai chai either. We have had a huge Asian population here because of the university. They offer several of those types of classes with different names at the community center. Is tc the one where the people stand still at places like a pedestrian bridge and move their arms around in what seems like pre determined actions? Lots of focus involved.
I am in the final stretch for that job and have completed all the interviews and paperwork. Only my age on paper would be a reason not to be chosen. Most people have no clue to my age, but when they see when they read my college transcript and see when I graduated, they just have to do the math (or assume I was a child prophesy) The director is on vacation this week so he'll decide between us two then.
My dh found out last night he had mono of all things. I never heard of old men getting mono. I guess he won't be able to go out for the track team this spring.

I really don't know much about the philosophy of Tai Chi. I miss the "on the mat" poses from yoga. The video we do is all on our feet. And, yes, there are specific ways to hold the hands. My philosophy of "exercise" is that it must be something that I want to do and something that I feel better when I finish. I'm not into suffering, though I admire those of you who are. ;)
> Ela...See MoreI've seen pix of people in weird poses...what is tai chi supposed to do? It doesn't look that hard or like a good workout so I am curious about what it does for a person!

Elaine/ret/INI've done a Tai Chi class a few years ago, and this is a video session at the local library. I like its slow relaxing pace, and I like the stretching. I don't know anything about the philosophy or its ideas.

judycaret Love Spring, too, Elaine. I actually spent 30 minutes pulling weeds (and I HATE yard work of any kind). We're supposed to get a bit more rain soon. My Fitbit stopped at 308 this morning, but I know I walked over 9,000 steps with a friend and her dog. I'm almost ready to give up my trusty and very old Fitbit and simply walk.
The food thing freaks me out after what happened at our family Christmas dinner--some would take 2-3 pieces of cake at one time so others did not get any. And they were like "Christmas only comes once a year so I'm gonna enjoy it!!" Totally lacking in regard for others who didn't get any cake. One cousin made sure she set aside cake for her family plus a few extra pieces. When I went to put it back on the dessert table, she stuck her finger in the top of each piece to "mark" it! There was a large, beautiful cake with enough for everyone to have a piece and then cookies and pies. I am thinking of having only 1 dessert at the family reunion, maybe ice cream in portioned cups?
Also thinking of one vegetarian meal and one meat meal (likely fried chicken). To simplify and if anyone wants something different to provide it themselves? Thoughts?
