A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?

Alva, Viking Princess!!!! That's me!! I even have the right coloring:-) we'll be an awesome pair of princesses!

You are right, it does help with range of motion and the axes are not heavy. You don't do any hard stuff, it's really range of motion and when you release, not hard throws. I found out the ax won't stick in their ceiling, I released waaaaay to soon and everyone got a good laugh at the mishap. I didn't feel bad as I could see I wasn't the only one that ever did that.

I do recommend it to anyone. Great fun and a good work out.

AX THROWING.
This sounds like the perfect answer to me getting full range of motion on my left side. CANCEL THE P.T.! OMG that sounds like so much fun.
Would get us in shape to be the Viking Warrior Princess position in the next Viking float in the parade as well!

Vanilla Ice Cream and Coca Cola. My 93 year old Mom is a trooper with dementia that is worse now then over 5 years ago. She drinks Port Wine and Vodka Martinis every day. One more than the other depending on what she has more of. She likes dark chocolate but not me as much. I love listening to music but she watches Fox News every day. She’s hard of hearing and doesn’t want to wear hearing amps or hearing aids.

Isthisrealllyreal, that's awesome. Skiing , fishing , knife throwing. Pretty cool!! I'm impressed.

Last year the guys were playing horse shoes. I asked them if I could try. They are heavy and I could never do it when I was younger. I picked it up, threw it, dead ringer, and walked away, I wasn't going to ruin my record. 😂

Golden, I thought about that too!

Quite frankly I am concentrating on not getting my own foot :-) it is a number of steps to do it right and I am still new enough that I play each one through my head with each throw, then my husband, who is an amazing athlete, tells me what I need to work on to get it right. He is a gifted teacher and has basically taught me every thing from skiing to fishing, I am by nature a total clutz, so any help I can get is appreciated.

I have found being concerned for my own safety is a benefit learning anything that can be dangerous. I pay GOOD attention to instruction :-)

Daisy, ax throwing uses a lot of the same principles as bowling.

We like that it is indoors and we can do it during the heat of summer. Unlike most other places, summer tends to be all indoors in Tucson. Our outside activities are from 5am to 9am, the latest, makes for long, boring days not being able to be as active as we are during the rest of the year. Retirement is proving a challenge during the heat :-/

Way, the 1st session included a free throw of any other weapon of our choice, did some ninja star throwing that was fun but, not nearly as fun as the ax. Next time we are going to do tactical shovel throwing, that looks really challenging and fun.

I just love activities that help with self defense.

My favorite thing to do lately is adult Coloring! 😁😁 Gee there is a lot to it, do you use markers, gel pens or colored pencils, what colors go good together. Learning shading to make things look like they pop! Anyways, this has been my passion for now , anyways.

Not sure what I'm going to do with my pitchers after, but they say doing something you enjoy is never a waist of time.

Song sung by Mercy Me
They say sometimes you win some
Sometimes you lose some
And right now, right now I'm losing bad
I've stood on this stage night after night
Reminding the broken it'll be alright
But right now, oh right now I just can't
It's easy to sing
When there's nothing to bring me down
But what will I say
When I'm held to the flame
Like I am right now
I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
They say it only takes a little faith
To move a mountain
Well good thing
A little faith is all I have, right now
But God, when You choose
To leave mountains unmovable
Oh give me the strength to be able to sing
It is well with my soul
I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
I know the sorrow, and I know the hurt
Would all go away if You'd just say the word
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
You've been faithful, You've been good
All of my days
Jesus, I will cling to You
Come what may
'Cause I know You're able
I know You can
I know You're able and I know You can
Save through the fire with Your mighty hand
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
I know the sorrow, I know the hurt
Would all go away if You'd just say the word
But even if You don't
My hope is You alone
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

WHEN PARENTS GET OLD ...
Let them grow old with the same love that they let you grow ...
Let them speak and tell repeated stories with the same patience and interest that they heard yours as a child ...
Let them overcome, like so many times when they let you win ...
Let them enjoy their friends just as they let you …
Let them enjoy the talks with their grandchildren, because they see you in them ...
Let them enjoy living among the objects that have accompanied them for a long time, because they suffer when they feel that you tear pieces of this life away ...
Let them be wrong, like so many times you have been wrong and they didn’t embarrass you by correcting you ...
LET THEM LIVE and try to make them happy the last stretch of the path they have left to go; give them your hand, just like they gave you their hand when you started your path!
