Tonight was the regular monthly Monday Merriment for my Red Hat chapter (Plum Crazy Ladies). There were twenty two of us laughing, carrying on and attempting to plan our future activities. It is always a fun time. We aren't all OPALS, but we are "off our rockers" and out having a good time together.
It is so important as we age (there's that pesky word again!) to be active - no couch potatoes allowed, please. We need to keep our joints moving and our muscles toned to the extent that our arthritis and lumbago lets us. I just tossed that word "lumbago" in here 'cause I like it. Haven't any idea what it really is, but it doesn't matter for this post. *giggle*
Walking, biking, going to the gym, even vacuuming and dusting can count! Move, Girls, move! Dance, skip, hop if your knees will let you. Run, jog, get out the Wii Fit! Wiggle, jiggle, laugh out loud, too! It's all good! Be an OPALS kinda Gal and you will love your mirror once again! You/we will look better, feel better, and have more energy. Sigh...I sure need more of that - energy.
Now, where did I put that exercise bike...oh, there it is, right beside the couch! Puff, puff, puff...peddle, peddle, puff, puff, puff...Whoooo!

Never heard before of OPALS !!!
ReplyDeleteThe way you descripe it....it makes me smile... sounds like a lot of fun :)
I have to keep moving to, although i'm not an OPAL yet.....
Have a nice week, Bianca xx
Bianca - Thank you for taking time to visit and leave me a hug...uh, comment! I never heard of OPALS before till I saw that little cartoon! I like the concept! LOL!

sounds like lots of fun!! I need to get up and exercise, but I think it will have to wait till after this pesky cold goes away! Thanks for the chuckle!
ReplyDeleteMelissa - I hope you don't have to wait long to feel better! I must admit to finding tons of reasons why I can't get moving! Now if I could just stop listening to myself...
DeleteHugs, GraceinAZ
GraceinAZ-I need to move more too! You actually make it sound like fun and are such an encourager. I love your sense of humor, I'm still smiling after reading your blog. Thanks for the pick-up this morning. Blessings, Nona
ReplyDeleteNona- Thanks for stopping by! Moving around can be fun, and if we could find a buddy to go with us, it would be more fun! Blessings back!

I need an opal - oh, I mean I need to become an OPAL.
ReplyDeleteGrammy - Maybe we should create OPALS groups and gather our friends to moan and groan with us. LOL!
DeleteHugs, GraceinAZ
You go girl! Keep up the good work and huff and puff all you want. I'm right there with you!
ReplyDeleteHeehee, Ginger...you are such a Pal! LOL! Okay, I'll get movin' and you keep me going!
