Ok, I think I have everyone added except Eve, and I got an error so I'll try again. I'm so happy every one of you joined! This will be so much fun!

I have done this workout for Seniors many times. It is a way to get exercising without overdoing it, getting aching muscles and in general helps us older folks stay healthy and keep our blood moving and our balance firm and safe:

15 Minute Senior Workout - HASfit's Low Impact Workout - Senior Exercises - Exercise for Elderly

Balance is especially important as we get older, because it helps to keep us from falling, a major risk as we get older and are on our feet less often.

I want to join in. Not sure if I will be able to stick with it. It starts on the first day of my vacation so that should be a help.

 

[Changing4Best]

What a great time to start some new healthy habits, while on vacation. Once you get used to doing these things, taking them back to work with you should be easy. Glad to have you on board @valkeasisu

I mentioned the fellow that designed this challenge to my nephew and he has heard of him. Not surprising. I think he's been around on a lot of TV shows and his books, are, of course, bestsellers.

I'd like to join in too. :D

Just by being more aware of what I am Grateful for, my life is improving. I just realized that this challenge starts on the 21st, the day of the total 100% Solar Eclipse that will be able to be seen in the town in which I live. Even NASA is coming here to view it from the best viewing spot in the country. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for most of the folks that live in this town. I have my special glasses that are needed to be able to watch the whole thing safely. You can be blinded if you don't wear such glasses and try to view it without them. So be prepared if you plan to watch it, wherever you are in the world. I don't know much about how it might appear if you are not in the path of the totality of it. However, maybe, if you have some of the special glasses (you can order them online) you might be able to see "something." Check it out!

Bumped into another interview that may be useful... just in the first few minutes it talks a bit about happiness, meaningfulness, pleasure and joy: Shawn Achor: "Before Happiness" | Talks at Google (This one's actually about his book Before Happiness which I actually didn't know existed and need to read.)

Hope you find it useful.
