Silver Sneakers & a beautiful Palm

Today hasn't even started and already it is amazing me. I went to a super early meeting this morning at 6am where I learned something new that's been around awhile I guess. It's called Silver Sneakers, I asked for an explanation of what it is.

I'm told it's a free gym adminttance (like membership) for seniors that 90% of medicare suppliment insurance pays for Nationwide. Usually I think of Retired Americans getting ripped off especially in the world of prescription medications. However something that is healthy is being offered for free so I just want to shout it out. I hope I take advantage of it too dammit. Several people at the meeting seemed surprised I hadn't heard of it and were more than willing to talk about how much they use and enjoy it.

Color me surprised and happy. I came home, Googled Silver Sneakers and was so happy something so nice is being offered to seniors and so many are taking advantage of it. It's damn healthy and prevents needing a doctor so much if one exercises.

After that blast of excitement I took the tiny fur diva for a walk. Recently the neighbor told me the creek I walk along has had gator spottings, especially near any drain pipes. As my path was turning one direction, the creek bent to the opposite direction, then I saw it. I saw the picture I know the Imp or Rogue would have captured. I'm a native from the land of Palms, Palm trees and shurbs I've seen all my life, they are second nature, yet today I saw the most beautiful Palm shrub (it was huge and flawless) growing in a jungle like section that is so rare to see, it just simply blew me out of the water. Things that look junglely in Florida usually have gators, snakes, spiders and tons of bugs so I didn't leave the path to get closers. The scene made me wish I was rich enough to pay the Imp to fly down here to shoot how she would see it soI could blow it up to hang on the wall.

I went and bought bagels and cream cheese to drop off at my parents door but just now remembered I need to let them know, tsk tsk, glad I remembered that. Now to see how the rest of the day is going to unfold.

Enjoy it dammit. (I think I'm going to name my next pet Dammit) not sure why I like that word but I do.
