Rest In Peace. His songs are a part of the soundtrack of my generation.

A few months ago I wrote a post called “Balance”. When I wrote that article I had intended to focus on physical balance as at that time I noticed that little things I took for granted as far as balance goes I had to focus and concentrate on more.

For example, when walking up-and-down the steps. Typically, I would just run up-and-down. I wouldn’t have to hold on to any rails or anything. But lately I’ve noticed that occasionally I have to hold on to a rail and I have to be careful about my foot placement. Instead of being able to just walk up the steps without concern and place my feet wherever, I actually now have to place the majority of my foot on the step instead of just the ball of my foot or my toes. Otherwise I have to balance myself out and slow my peace as I go up and down the steps.

Also I notice that when changing shoes, socks and pants I used to just stand up, kick my shoes off and pull off a sock one foot at a time.  However, nowadays I have to balance myself, placing my hand on something nearby.

I can no longer take for granted how I move about in my daily routine. When I exercise or run, I have to be careful about how quickly I’m moving to my next exercise or how I position myself for my weights. I like to stretch between exercises and sometimes I have to balance myself with one hand or the other as I stretch. 

So for anybody out there who is of a certain age trust me, you are not by yourselves. Putting on or taking off your shoes. Changing socks, changing the pants. Any clothing item that requires you to stand up or sit down.
We have to watch our balance. And that’s just part of it.

Balance is a good thing as I stated in the first part of this article. Be sure to read it and check out the picture that I included.

Better walk into your years and stand high

No use in runnin’ from your tears you can’t hide

Definition of a life claims you did try

Lightyears in shadows gonna be a long ride

Mirrors in the dark still see faces

Living with your eyes in the wrong places

Quantum time as we rearrange the spaces

Just a moment in your mind to be gracious

Weary in my thoughts or so it seems

Conversations with my thoughts through a movie scene

Universe from the Earth no its not a dream

And the Mind informs the Body as to what it means

So, (T)Rump “ordered” the Department of Justice to create a 1.7 billion dollar fund to give to people who were “wronged”  by the U.S. government. Okay…..

If all you have is time, you don’t have enough time…..

Solo cooking on the baby grill. Just hams and hots on a leisurely afternoon.

Then to Union Square Park to see Rashon on drums with Jesse Moody IV and the 5th Wheels.

Now its time for practice……..
