\"Harriet_Waving\"You pray for good health and a body that will be strong in old age. Good \u2014 but your rich foods block the gods’ answer and tie Jupiter’s hands. ~ Persius – 34 AD – 62 AD<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Greetings Tushkateers!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

How are you on this spectacularly bright and happy morning?\u00a0 I’m okay and that’s saying something!!!\u00a0 After six weeks of rehab, we (as in Peter and I) moved my mother (Harriet, 95.5 years young) into her new assisted living digs (10 days ago)!\u00a0 My oh my, how time flies when you are having fun!!!\u00a0\u00a0 (For those who don’t know, Mom fell not once, but twice in the beginning of December!)<\/em><\/p>\n

We are making the best it, for sure.\u00a0 Just as I turned weight loss (another ‘heavy’ topic) into an art project, I realized that I’ve kind of done the same thing with ‘this.’\u00a0 With Peter’s help, we’ve turned her new apartment into a masterpiece of comfort and light.\u00a0 We’ve incorporated an amazing deep blue accent wall (which Peter painted), small scale furniture (Peter assembled) that you can easily (relative term) push up from the arms and stand upright (another relative term), etc.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Instead of turning to food when angst out (and there have been plenty-O-angst moments), I’ve turned to HomeDecorators.com<\/a> website.\u00a0\u00a0 Another place I’ve turned to for mental health is Bed Bath and Beyond and the Container Store.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 AND yes, we had a budget, and YES, I did stick to it!<\/p>\n

Here’s a preview photo of her new digs.\u00a0 I told Harriet that she has lots of fans (from past videos posted on Facebook and in my Beliefnet.com blog, as well as on these KITT Club pages) and that her audience is anxiously waiting to hear from her; they want to know that she’s A-Okay!\u00a0 She said that for now she’ll wave at the camera, but videos will have to wait until she’s more settled in and oriented.<\/p>\n

So … without further ado, there she is, waving.\u00a0 The 50″ inch sofa, chair and ottoman to match, as well as those darling stacking tables are our latest purchases.\u00a0 The photos on the radiator are family photos.<\/p>\n

Be Strong In Old Age:<\/strong><\/em> I find this week’s featured quote: You pray for good health and a body that will be strong in old age. Good \u2014 but your rich foods block the gods’ answer and tie Jupiter’s hands. ~ Persius – 34 AD – 62 AD – <\/span><\/em>really interesting.\u00a0 Not just because of the wisdom of Persius’s words, but when he said them.\u00a0 Will we never learn the lesson that our health is tied to the foods we eat???<\/span><\/p>\n

Apologies to those who’ve written to me in the past few weeks and I’ve yet to answer.\u00a0 I’ve been busy with ‘life!’\u00a0 I will do my absolute best to answer you this week!!!<\/p>\n

One more thing before we KICK Start our day, be sure to read Myrna GG Mibus’s piece in The Good Age, entitled Pedal Pushers<\/a>.\u00a0 It is a truly inspiring and motivating story!<\/p>\n

And now … for the info you FAT BURNING faToids that you have been waiting for:<\/p>\n

Sex burns about 360 calories per hour.
\nFidgeting can burn about 350 calories a day.
\nEvery time you lick a stamp, you are consuming 1\/10 of a calorie!
\nA person will burn 7 percent more calories if they walk on hard dirt compared to pavement!<\/p>\n

If you’re not a member of the\u00a0Kick in the Tush Club,<\/em><\/a><\/strong> you should be!\u00a0\u00a0 For the best wellness and\u00a0 weight loss fun, motivation, inspiration and happiness, and wisdom sign up\u00a0 NOW<\/em><\/a>!<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n
