A lot has changed for me in a year. I feel my body changing with age and am switching my physical exercises and activities to reflect this.
I have always liked yoga. I understand the entire idea of yoga but I just can’t seem to get into it. Many times over the decades I start then I stop. Start then I stop. Start. Stop. Start. Stop.
Recently, I started beginner pilates in the morning and evening yoga before bed. I’m not as disciplined as I would like to be, but this exercise change is a work in progress for me as I struggle to adapt.
This summer, not a lot of time was spent on a garden. I did tend to a small lavender bush I planted then transplanted to a new location.
This year I took riding lessons. I have loved horses my entire life and the time spent with school horses is mainly about the connection, then the lessons that provided an excellent workout.

I enjoy outdoor physical activities such kayaking, swimming, and learning to snowboard!
I loved running, but ongoing problems with my feet, knees and hips prevent me from doing so.
I also enjoy landscaping, creating and maintaining beautiful spaces on our property with mowing the lawn and tending the garden.

Those outdoor activities are really enjoyable. I love to try them. The photos are amazing.
Go for it!!! Thanks Hazel! 🌻
However, snow boarding is not available here.ðŸ¤

The evening swim looks wonderful. As for the snow… I would hibernate! 😂🌻

Sounds wonderful, but I think they might eat me! 😱😅

Those are some great hobbies! Your interests seem to include both physical activity and creative activities.
Yes. I need both as part of my mental health care. 🌻
