Exercise gives me energy
Mar. 7th, 2026 08:54 pmAmazing how peppy I feel after just one "aquapower" workout, plus a few hard pulls on the machines in the gym. There is no doubt that applying your strength makes for higher energy levels. I know it from the science, but the personal experience really rings.
I'm mourning the demise of my joints. My hips already being replaced, now it's my thumbs. And lots of other places. And I'm only 60. No way am I going to live to be as old as my parents.
A friend told me today that she thinks I'm a true healer. I'm not so sure, but I appreciate her confidence. She, on the other hand, is a genie of positivity, one of those people who draws on reserves of strength and optimism that I don't think I ever had. She is the healer. I am just a writer, rewriting. I am just a student of everything, trying to make sense of it.
