View all responses

This prompt makes me smile, for I try to be grateful for each day and all that it offers. For me, here are a few of my everyday things that bring me happiness.

  • Coffee with my pups. Yep, my pups. Every morning, I make coffee, bring it to bed, and begin my day. I often write, scan the news, or prepare for my workday. and well, the pups are in the mix because they try to steal my coffee. Cheeky little buggers.
  • Working with my students – They have really made me feel extra special lately. I broke my ankle, and they all take turns fussing over me. Truly a blessing!
  • Texts or calls from friends and family – As I get older, I realize how special these moments are.
  • Walking outside and enjoying the sunshine and the fresh air.
  • Night time, when I settle in for the night, surrounded by Max and Moo.

Explore Water Exercise: Perfect for All Ages

For me, I love to exercise in the water! As a kid, I spent endless hours in the pool or at the beach. And since my old body often groans after exercising, I have found that water walking and water aerobics provide the perfect place to get in my extra steps and a cardio workout. Oh, and the Y also has a jacuzzie jets in the therapy pool, and a steam room in the women’s locker. Win! Win!
