Making meditation and Yoga a part of my daily practice is the thing that has really helped me with a lifetime of severe insomnia. It rook me awhile to get the hang of it but now, three years in I cannot imagine having this whole hour just for my good health. Eases my mind, my asthma has improved, my arthritis has learned that I can bend, and I feel so great when I am done. It is so much easier for me to be mindful in my daily life and being retired has become a time of joy for us despite our unanticipated health problems. We had plans for retirement, they changed, now we live happily within our limits and always encourage each other. It is wonderful having a supportive husband. Our three standard poodles help, too! Our oldest is my Service Dog, Beau. Learning to work with our disabilities has helped us realize how much we are still able to discover and enjoy.
