Gentle posts for gentle folks

Happy Tuesday, K-Posse!

My 3 year old grandson is crazy about rainbows. So much so that when he's here, he takes my hand, leads me to my computer, then says, "Please show me some rainbows, Tootsie!" We spend at least 15 minutes oohing and aahing over the images together, pointing out our respective favorites.

So today, my friends, I'm sharing a rainbow I especially like - and want to believe is natural rather than AI generated.
May today bring each of us sunshine and rainbows.

Thank you for sharing your rainbow experiences with us ☺️🤩🤗
@StarSong

60 minute walk on the treadmill, wow!
@Medusa
It's that a big increase for you?
It sounds like so much.
And without rests?🤔🫣😄

I haven't been treadmilling lately so it's a big jump back for me. No breaks, but I'm walking slowly at a mid-grade incline. My hips are sore, but I want to keep at it and see if my body will, "suck it up." :)

EDIT: Spelling

Lol on those muscles.....😄

I hope you are managing as well as possible at home now, RadishRose! 🥰

Let me know if you see @Rossana
Arrive at your home first, with those gorgeous wild birds!🤩😁☺️

I wonder what those birds would like to eat... so we could have some ready on hand. 🤔🫣🤭
 
I struggled to get myself to P.T. today, but it's always so worth while once there, that I'm very glad I did!
I feel very thankful for it.

I'm worn out but that's okay. Trying to focus on simple things, for the rest of today.

I made an appointment for myself at a new dentist. That will be truly exhausting for me! It's on Thursday, later this week.

You've gotta do, what you've gotta do! It's good you're taking care of your dental health, so that you will keep smiling at us 😁
 
Snooker finished, so back into normal routine mode now! Youngest son finishes work just after midday today and will be coming here for a meal. As he's vegan I think we'll have a veggie pasta. Nice and easy to make... I don't really enjoy cooking!

Glad you found your PT worth while @Kaila even if it is hard work at the time. Also hope you @RadishRose are doing okay with your recovery. Talking of which, I must go and do the exercises for my shoulder and my hip. I don't do them as regularly as I should. 🙄

Glad to hear the p.t. is benefiting you so much, Kaila! I hope hubby is doing well, too. And good morning, everyone! Let's fill those pages with good things today!

Took Rocco to the park and it was lovely to see the Canada geese with their goslings so this is my contribution towards filling the page with good things today. :)

Good Morning, Kaila and Friends. 🤗:coffee:🌻

As always, hoping everyone is feeling good today. It's a sunny and what most people would consider a pretty day, here.

@Pam, I've been curious about Snooker since you've mentioned it and finally looked it up this morning and learned that Snooker is a "cue sport," similar to Billiards and Pool.

"Billiards, pool, and snooker are all cue sports but differ in rules, equipment, and gameplay. Billiards is played on a pocketless table with three balls, pool uses a table with six pockets and typically 16 balls, while snooker is played on a larger table with 21 balls, including 15 red balls and various colored balls."

Well, that clears things up. Hope you have a nice lunch with your son. :)

@Kaila, glad physical therapy continues to go well and @RadishRose, that you are recovering.

My hips are screaming today. I may need to ease up on the treadmill a bit. It's just that I love how quiet my mind is while walking.

I've just had coffee time with my husband and am now waiting for my son to come downstairs after his breakfast so we can have a visit.

Good morning K-posse! A beautiful day expected here, but I'll miss a lot of it. Today's agenda is filled with indoor business chores. I'll try to take a few breaks outside, possibly including a walk around the block.

I had the same problem when using a treadmill many moons ago, but eventually noticed no pain after walking outside for the same length of time. I figured the aches came from the treadmill's forced pace. When walking naturally, we instinctively adjusted our pace to our body's comfort. It might help you to try alternating days, sometimes walk your neighborhood, sometimes use the treadmill.

@Kaila, good luck at the dentist.
@RadishRose, how goes the recovery?

Hope all have a wonderful day!

When are we taking that Caribbean or Hawaiian getaway?

I do walk the dog several times a day and agree that that type of walking is much easier on my body. But I can only stay out for so long and it's easy to just keep walking (whether my body likes it or not) on the treadmill.

I'm thinking of trying the spin bike today instead to see if that is easier on my hips. I can just peddle slowly like I walk slowly on the treadmill.

Thank you for the comment and the good advice. :)

@RadishRose
Please read that post carefully and closely. In the 2nd paragraph, I'm pretty sure that Pam insisted on doing your and my p.t. exercises for us.🤔 Aren't I right about that, RadishRose?🤗☺️😏😄

You know you only have to give me a call and I'll be with you in the Carribean in the morning... :D

I have a treadmill @Medusa.. If I've not been on it for a long time, I just walk at 2mph... but if I've been on regularly I up it to 4mph.. any faster and my knees really hurt.... even tho' in real life, outside , I'm a fast walker...

Good morning all. Hope this finds you all well. Another lovely day here, been for a walk with Rocco, he's now chilling.

Regarding snooker... I have found that there is another tournament on TV :giggle: short one this time, for Seniors, finishes on the 11th. I've always enjoyed snooker but hadn't really watched a lot of it for a few years until Covid/Lockdown and I got back into it again.

Grandson coming round after work today so I'm looking forward to that. He's such a lovely lad, placid, nice natured, very much like his dad (my youngest son). Both very easy to be with and good company. No doubt we will play Scrabble or Cribbage and I'll get beaten. ;)
