I loved the Thalassotherapy pool on the boat -- it is heated salt water with areas of bubbly and areas of large faucets with either non-pulsing water or water that pulsed that would flow over your head and/or shoulders. It was heaven! I'd love to find something like that here.

And I make a daily habit of snuggles with the furballs, watching the miracle of weeds growing in the backyard and surrounding myself with color. I used to run regularly -- something that made me really happy -- I wasn't fast, but I was training for a half-marathon and then my pesky hip labrum snapped like a stale rubber band -- and in an instant I had debilitating osteoarthritis (though it took Kaiser many, many months to figure this out). But it took away my running, my physical outlet. The elliptical machine is not the same. But now I have found a gym (in my membership group) that has a heated pool. And it's bliss! Cold water makes my muscles seize up, but the warm water lets me swim or water-jog with a great range of motion. It's like running again. Except there's no music and i have to share the space.... but it's good, it's really good. I need to start reading more. Since my eyesight started changing, I got out of the habit of reading since reading caused strain which made me sleepy. I have glasses now, but the reading habit needs to be worked on....
