The daily writing prompt is asking – What are your favorite physical activities or exercises?

Exercise wise, I walk a bit and lift some light weights to try to keep some form. Activities are playing with my grandchildren in any way possible. Pretending to be whatever animal they want to ride. Teaching them sports, running through a sprinkler together or swimming while on vacation.

If my health holds up over the winter, I’m looking forward to getting on a basketball court again. I loved playing ball and I miss it greatly. I think I’m going to try to hit the court every day that it’s nice out in 26.

There are a ton of physical activities I do around the home and yard and that is a lot of my physical workout. None are my favorites but after they are all done, I do feel that the exercise was worth it and I save a fortune in paying others to do it.

Well, uh, um, well, to hell with it

What are your favorite physical activities or exercises? – I believe I’ve answered this question from the Daily Writing a while back.

I probably answered this question before with something like basketball, walking, light weights or hiking. Some bull like that.

My favorite physical activity is spending time wrapped up with my better half. Yep. Pretty simple. Nothing in life makes me as happy as that young lady. I’m sitting here looking at a few very old pictures of us dating and on our honeymoon and vacation shortly after being married that I keep on the wall beside my desk. She’s beautiful, smart and she loves me despite my many flaws.

Wow, we were young in those pictures. I’m just as attracted to her as the day I met her. The day we got married. The day we had children. The day we had grandchildren. The day I retired and year ago and said I can chase you full time now. And this day almost a year later and for all the days ahead.
