Sitting alone at a patio table is one of my favorite things to do, whether at home or in a public space. Hearing the sounds of birds chirping and leaves rustling is peaceful. It helps my mind slow down and see things from a different perspective.
I happen to be in the public setting at the moment. Both of my parents have passed. Both siblings have passed. My husband has passed. It’s nice to see families gathered together, drinking coffee, and sharing memories.
When I was a little girl, my dad had dumbbells and an ab wheel in the house. I would sometimes workout with him in the house, but I mostly did situps. The wheel was too difficult for me, so I gave up pretty quickly on that piece of equipment. However, he also had a workout area in the yard, next to the house. He built a high bar for pullups and a low bar for my sister and I to twirl on. He also had a barbell, a few weights, and a variety of jump ropes.
I loved our time working out together outside.
I never dreamed I would become a certified personal trainer, much less beginning this new career path past the age of 55!
My parents, siblings, and husband are not here to share in these new adventures, but I’m so grateful for the memories we made together that led to this day. This beautiful day where I’m sitting under a shade at a patio table in Arizona.
Gratefully fit for FUN + fit for LIFE,
Cindy
