Weekly Sparks — 4/1/24 through 4/7/24
My Weekly Boomer On Fire Check-In
In a nutshell, these “Sparks” are the things I accomplished that follow the topics I write about here and in my newsletter. I’m offering these with two purposes in mind:
- It’s an accountability practice. If I write about things, I should be trying to follow them.
- A look over my shoulder exercise. I will try to do the things I write about and I will reflect on them here.
My Sparks
It only had a couple of Nordic walks during the week, but they were nearly an hour each. I also got a couple of normal walks in, one of which was fast power walking. Once in a while I need to give my shoulders a break from the poles. I only made it to the gym once, but the iron is getting bigger again, so that’s a plus. I had one Tai Chi class and practiced on my own a few times.
My foreign language Boomer Bucket List item is still going well. I managed to make it now 15 days in a row on Duolingo Spanish. I will probably need to graduate to a higher-level language system. This one “gamifies” the learning, though it is very slow to progress to much that is meaningful. But if I happen to leave my passport in the hotel and drink a coffee with milk in the hospital, I’m in business.
