Recovery Comes

I had a late afternoon visit from good friends B/P this week. They came bearing gifts: tulips and veggie lasagna. Thank you good friends! My recovery reached a 'turning point' this week, as I started a cardiac rehabilitation program. I'm attending a 7:30 AM(I'm a morning person... no more sleep ins for me!) one hour session with about 6 others in my group. As my journey continues, I have to stop and marvel a bit. Almost 8 weeks ago, I entered MMC upbeat, positive, but really a bit apprehensive of what lay ahead. This morning, I'm looking at eating well, regular exercise(this will be a 'mountain' for me but I'm willing to try), mindful living and my overall wellness. The adventure continues, but now I feel much more in control of where I'm going, how to get there, and what I need to enjoy the experience with friends and those I love.

    Good for you! The tulips are lovely. Thanks for sharing them. Too bad we can't have some of that veggie lasagna too!

    I saw your tulips on the portal and thought, "Oh, someone's teasing us with images of spring!" And, it's more than spring since it sounds like you have a new lease on life!

    Very nice colorful picture on what has been a very dark and rainy and gloomy week in Boston. I'm glad to hear you are doing well and are going to start exercising. One thing that may make it easier for you, though your wife may not care too much for the idea, is to get a young pretty female as your personal trainer. It will make going to the gym a little easier to bear:) Take care.

    Your tulips are bright and charming, but you can see more colours and have more fresh air in the woods.

    This can be part of your journey.

    I like this attitude, BM. The daunting road becomes more level as you take each corner. I like the idea of wellness achieved through mindfulness. Take care by taking control.

    Hey Clueless in Beantown-
    Thanks for that 'workout' suggestion w/ the personal trainer... that would certainly take the boring part of exercise out of the picture. I'm on the bike now!
