A good night's sleep, chocolate, the happiness and satisfaction of sharing on AgingCare forum. Does anyone have some favorite things to think about? Yes, this phrase is from the song in the movie "The sound of Music". My husband and I often resort to using movie lines and song to improve communication. We were the only two in a gathering of people who heard the background music playing. We both had the same (cassette tape/CD). A connection bringing two people together. To this day, we crack up when one uses a simple movie line to make a serious point.
SO, What is one of your favorite movie line, some of your favorite things?
I know my wife misses being able to travel to see her identical twin sister who I enjoy seeing also. At least, I can tell them apart.
I hope in December, our family will be able to travel to our already planned and booked vacation for Christmas week. I know we can't travel to get together for Thanksgiving, but the son who lives the nearest to us will come home for that.
Ketchikan, Seward, Homer, Anchor Point the westernmost point in the North American Highway System, Whittier, Portage Glacier, Mendenhall Glacier, Prince William Sound, Denali National Park, seeing an actual reindeer (yes, they are real - they are known as caribou), driving along Turnagain Arm considered to be one of the most beautiful stretches of highway in America - all in Alaska. Even flying into Anchorage was beautiful. A very majestic place to visit!
Glacier National Park in Montana, Estes Park in Colorado, Grand Canyon National Park at sunrise and sunset, Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah.
Victoria, BC, Butchart Gardens in Brentwood Bay, BC on Vancouver Island, Whidbey Island and Anacortes, Washington.
Ah, the beauty of nature!
Everything geography
Everything poetry

He hates my shaving him. Thankfully, he still has his sense of humor. Yesterday, I sang that old song while shaving him, and we had a good laugh together.
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rawhide
Keep rollin', rollin', rollin'
Though the streams are swollen
Keep them dogies rollin', rawhide
Through rain and wind and weather
Hell bent for leather
Wishin' my gal was by my side
All the things I'm missin'
Good vittles, love and kissin'
Are waiting at the end of my ride
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em on, head 'em up, rawhide
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, cut 'em out
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in, rawhide
Keep movin', movin', movin'
Though they're disapprovin'
Keep them dogies movin', rawhide
Don't try to understand 'em
Just rope 'em, throw, and brand 'em
Soon we'll be livin' high and wide
My heart's calculatin'
My true love will be waitin'
Be waitin' at the end of my ride
Move 'em on, head 'em up
Head 'em up, move 'em on
Move 'em on, head 'em up, rawhide
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in
Ride 'em in, cut 'em out
Cut 'em out, ride 'em in, rawhide
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rawhide
Rawhide
Song for the move:

Don't try to understand them (naysayers)

LOL.
And, are they safe?
I wanted to buy a tricycle, but was told they tip over easily.
Maybe what I need is a recumbent bicycle, where you lie back to ride. Ten minutes in the sun and I would be done and cooked forever! 🚶♀️🏃♀️🥵️
Maybe I could drive myself on a Harley, lol NOT.
My Grandmother had a big tricycle with a basket on the back that she used to take to the grocery store sometimes.The Trishaw reminds me of that and how much Grandma loved her bike.Thanks for sharing~
#Cycling without age
With a bicycle rider on a bike behind a little rickshaw, these trishaw rides are even being used in AL to get the elderly out and about.
Many smiles as they sit in the 'trishaw', with the wind in their hair.
The uses are unlimited, and amazing. One is shown delivering groceries!
You gotta see this!
The neat thing that I love is at the end, they put a blanket over you and explain that in a moment your energy will come to the core of your body and then spread back out. Wow! It's like a re-birth experience!
This is a real and legal massage technique, but done best by Asians for they invented it and treat you with respect as they were taught by their culture.
I consider this the Platinum version of massage techniques. It accomplishes more than the deep tissue massage which is far more painful.
GO PLACIDLY amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

I had a great day of beautiful weather for my day off! I defrosted a freezer, washed some curtains.. today was a good day!
My second favorite movie lines come from Mr. Kelly :)
I'm singin' in the rain
Just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again.
I'm laughing at clouds.
So dark up above,
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love.
Let the stormy clouds chase.
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singing,…
