Tip of the Day -

SIGN UP FOR TAI CHI TO PREVENT FALLS!!

After taking a bad fall and spending three hours in the emergency room, I discovered that

falls are at the very top of the list of reasons for fatalities among people over 65. This is not very

funny. Scary though. It turns out that people who take Tai Chi are 50% less likely to fall than

those who do not. Regretfully, I am in Remedial Tai Chi but I'm working at it.

I've been working all day on move 4, Catch the Bird by the tail. I am not optimistic. In fact the teacher told me I was holding up the whole class. Since there's only one other person in the

class, this was discouraging.

But my tip of the day, is don't be discouraged when you start something new and it's not successful. Just keep going just a bit at the time, and remember there are lots of us having the

same problems. And just a bit at the time, we'll get there.

Fine Dorothy's Tip of the Day in this spot every day. Tune in tomorrow, same time, same station.
