Exercise and less on Facebook

I have been posting most of my thoughts of Facebook. I finally realized most people could care less about every random thought I have. I am also factoriing in tht I type much better on a laptop than on a phone. I am horrible with phones. That is not to say I am great on a pc (I am sure there will be tons of typos), but it can't be any worse. So here it goes. I have started exercising some the past few weeks. Since the beginning of covid I have had so many sarcoidosis flare ups that I have been on higher doses of prednisone than I prefer. My sarcoidosis was flaring after every vaccination (I was told no more covid shots) and after each bout of covid (2). Then you add in a virus right after recovering from covid and my weight ballooned. So now I begin all over. I had lost down to 225 before have a pulmonary embolism a few years ago. i was walking eight miles a day 3 to 5 days a week. I tried restarting a few times and was back up to 5 miles before Covid hit. At that point I coudn't seem to stay healthy and quit.  The few times I tried to start back I would get up to a couple miles a day and then the sarcoidosis would flare up. I slowly crept way up in weight. I never got as high as I was when still was on high dose steroids, but much higher than I wanted to be at. I have no doubt weight has led to the increase in irregular heart beats. I started using my excercise ball daily. I have been adding an extra exercise each week. This week started my walking routine. I could only do a mile and a half but I am sure distance will increase quickly. I have my doubts I will ever see 8 miles a day again but if I can do three to five miles and use the excersise ball, I should be fine. I have already lost 10 pound but it isnt really visible yet. All I can do is try..

Music. My Life Long Friend!

Image
It was time to write again and I guess this will continue my current trend of introspective posts. This time I will dive into music and how it has had an impact on my life. It has been entertainment, a friend, an escape, and more.  The only way for someone to fully understand is for me to start from the beginning. So sit back and learn a little about what has made me tick through the years.  I should start with a bit of history. At a very young age music was always on.  My grandmother would babysit for me and she always had music on.  At that time it was a variety of old music.  Ernest Tubb, Hank Snow, Hank Locklin, Hank Williams, and polkas by Frankie Yankovic and Myron Floren. Sometimes she would allow me to pick out albums.  I tended to gravitate toward Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, and the collections of 50's and 60's rock and roll beginning collections she brought for us to listen to.  When at my aunt's house I always grabbed her Beatles albums.   At approximately six y

Wipe Away the Tears

Wipe Away the Tears If you’re feeling lonely When the lights are low Just look to the past To a time when we were  Dancing toe to toe The gaze in our eyes A oneness only we could know So go ahead  Go ahead and cry I will wipe away the tears  From your eye I will kiss your tears  til your cheeks are dry I remember your sweet smile Though separated by miles I feel the warmth of your breath on my neck Though we parted and were through All the tears I fought through Brought me peace and our friendship grew  So go ahead  Go ahead and cry I will wipe away the tears  From your eye I will kiss your tears  til your cheeks are dry Helping Healing  Haunting  Daunting So go ahead  Go ahead and cry I will wipe away the tears  From your eye I will kiss kiss your tears til your cheeks are dry
