The List - 60 to Sixty

 

Here I go again...some of you may have visited before when I did a Top 45 at 45 and the realization that I have another big birthday looming in the not so distant future, I decided it was time to get going on this now, instead of waiting until the big 6-0 arrives. As I get older, I realize that it takes me a little longer to warm up in the mornings before swimming, a little longer lounging in the mornings before work and just noticing a general slow down in my routines. Since I don't turn 60 until January of 2027, I figure starting on August 1, 2025 gives me ample time to rev up and gain momentum to accomplish this list. 

I will be blogging as part of the 60 to 60 and in the meantime, you can refer to the Top 45 list for some of my motivations AND I will be adding some more....

Decisions, decisions....

Decisions On Tuesday, I had an appointment for an intro class for Pilates. Silly me thought I could just sign up at the beginning of January and get going. Instead, I had to reach out to two studios near me (I am a creature of habit and convenience) to lessen the hassle of going in order to build up the habit. Due to my work schedule and opportunities for an intro class, it took me almost half the month to find an opening. When I drove up to the Club Pilates location, right next door there was a donut shop. The first thing that crossed my mind was, "I can go to the pilates intro or I can go and get donuts." I literally hesitated then remembered I set a goal to take Pilates and begrudgingly walked in the studio door.  Many forms of exercise require specialized equipment. My swimming gear consists of swimsuit, goggles, swim cap, fins and paddles. For Pilates, its yoga-like clothing and socks with 'treads'. I wondered about the need for the sticky bottoms but the minute ...

Project Hail Mary

 I love to read, always have. My mom used to talk about the fact that if anyone was looking for me and couldn't find me, I was probably hiding out somewhere with my nose a book. Reading also reminds me of my dad. I still have very vivid memories of crawling in his lap while he was reading one of his Louis L'Amour books. Often after snuggling in his lap, I would read bits and pieces of his yellowing paperback and drift off to sleep. I'd barely gain any consciousness as he would carry me to bed.  Today, reading seems like a luxury, however spreading one book out over a month is really only exchanging time from other perhaps less productive things like mindless TV or doom scrolling on social media. This month, I have already finished the first book, Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. I saw the trailer for the movie coming out in March before watching Fantastic Four with a friend. She mentioned that she read the book and liked it and since I like the trailer, figured I would read...
