So Euel told me one day this week on one of our daily walks that he’s been falling, a lot. He fell in the back yard and couldn’t pull himself up because he wasn’t near anything. He said it took almost an hour but he crawled to him back door and was able to grab the door handle and get up.

I already sit on the floor at home rather than in a chair to stay nimble, but I’ve now added daily squats to the routine.

Of course I already know all these things, but being with someone everyday who is adversely impacted because he can’t do certain things has encouraged me to do more…and do it more consistently.

Be sure and check out my writer’s website for poems, short fiction and links to my new novel “Under The Autumn Moon”:
