October 8th was my birthday. Celebrations become more extended, meaningful and joyous each year.
Extended means maintaining a celebratory attitude several days in a row. Or one could extend joy at her or his birthing into a season, or even let it become a lifestyle.
The Birthday weekend included meaningful activities which all included Vibrant Longevity elements.
- Joy of Movement Life Purpose: Taught both a Zumba® Gold and Essentrics® Aging Backwards classes on Friday.
- Meaningful Improvement Hobby with like-minded people: Played-in and Won a Ladies Pocket Billiards (Pool) Tournament match on Saturday afternoon.
- Fun and Sexy Romantic Evening: Went dining and dancing Saturday night with Frank, my boyfriend.
- Family caring and Support: Enjoyed Sunday Brunch with Sons, Joe and Josh, and their families and loved-ones. Received loving texts from granddaughters, Julia and Aurora, who live in other states.
- Preferred Dietary Choices: Ate a delicious, nutritious, veggie-filled egg-white omelet with perfectly ripe melon side dish at the Brunch. Munched on a few bites of French Toast for sweetness.
- Cultural heritage reinforcement: Went shopping at antique-filled store on Sunday afternoon. Frank bought me a pair of silver Kokopelli Native American earrings as birthday present. (The 2nd Monday in October also now happens to be Indigenous Peoples’ Day.) My Panamanian grandmother was of Chocó Indian descent.
- Volunteer-work: Later Sunday afternoon, organized and directed a Pool Tournament happening in my Seal Beach Leisure World, age 55+ Community.
- Exercise Choice: Walked a mile to Leisure World Pool Hall before orchestrating the Pool Tournament.
- Final Dietary Selection: For evening meal chose a Subway® Sandwich Shop MexiCali®, chicken-avocado-veggie sandwich served as a salad – no bread.
- Creative Expression: Writing this blog post early today, Monday morning, kept my mind active, engaged and full of caring.
Thank you. Your reading presence reminds me that Birthday Abundance and Vibrant Longevity Living happen one day at a time. WF!
