Today was the first day of the Farmers' Market at Daley Plaza. It really put me in a summer mood. No coat, no long pants, plenty of sunshine and lots of my favorite things. I went for asparagus and bagels and wound up with all kinds of other goodies - honey, bread, cheese. The crowd was upbeat - almost a party atmosphere. I guess I'm not the only one who is tired of winter. I rode my CTA chariot home to deposit my treasures in the appropriate places and headed for the Oak Street Beach.I got my first pre-beach hug of the season from Carlos at the Drake and headed for the tunnel. I worry that the ceiling is going to cave in along with one or more of the thousands of cars driving over it every day. Come on - Park District - get with it.
Happily, the murals escaped graffiti over the winter. A few touch ups and they should be okay. Bruce, the massage guy, needs an eyelift on his likeness (though not in real life.)
Marcia and I stayed until the bitter end. I even stuck my toes in the frigid, but clear water. The measure of success for today is threefold.
- My bathing suit fit
- I could get up out of my chair on my own
- I got up the ramp without a backache
Now it's time to sample some of that bread and cheese and roast the asparagus for dinner.
Happy Summer.

Sounds like a perfect day!
ReplyDeleteGreat start! I can relate to the great feeling of getting out of the chair by yourself!
DeleteI was able to overcome senile dementia via a complete naturopathic process.
ReplyDeleteAbout two years ago, when I was 56, I started feeling foggy and had occasional memory lapses. My wife, Mary, started to notice it, too, but I also have hearing issues so she thought that was the problem. My memory worsened very gradually over the years, and we lived with it, compensating as needed. I became less social. After some months thereafter, it got to the point where we couldn’t keep making excuses or ignoring it. I had gone from doing our grocery shopping without a list to going with a list, to having the list but not buying what was on it.
Mary went online to do some research, and it was during this process we had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu Herbal Cure: an African herbalist and witch doctor whose professional works had majored on the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially dementia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that I had been able to improve my condition for better. So to say, the encounter with the above-mentioned herbal practitioner was the first time we ever heard there was something that possibly can be done to improve my memory functionality.
By the existence of such an encounter, I was able to learn of the new approach by which this herbalist successfully treated dementia conditions, which included a distinguished herbal therapy and lifestyle changes of which I had undergone to a tremendous, positive effect.
It was after the completion of the herbal therapy I had started to experience a great deal of cognitive improvement when it came to rational decision making.
In brief, I was able to go through the dreadful hollows of senile dementia without any further hazardous damage to my health condition, and within a short period. Had it not been for the support of my wife, of whom had encouraged me to undergo the above-mentioned therapy and that of the herbal practitioner of whom now happens to be benefactor - I would have been long exposed to the further perils of this condition and of which had been apt to result to a calamitous end.
I would also wish for the same positiveness upon patients who may happen to be suffering from this debilitating disease, and would warmly beseech them to find a confidant like this herbal specialist with whose professional service I was able to attain a divine recovery.
