Every year, the floor was getting a little further away. That is to say, it became harder to go from sitting on the floor to standing again, so I’d avoid getting on the floor unless the cat belly was particularly enticing.
I decided a few months ago to dig my medtitation cushion out of storage, and convert a small patio side table to a floor-desk for my tablet/keyboard, where I do the bulk of my internet time wasting.
Just this morning, I realized that I’m popping up and down with a lot more ease than when I started, so the floor is now officially at a distance it was at maybe 15 years ago.
Edit: This edit might break the rules, but this is the first post I’ve ever made that included the image of the post in the post.


I finally got the cross-legged sit down! The trick for me is to keep on my toes on one foot.
Nice! Well, that’s one technique I won’t use, as I don’t have any toes 🙂
Yes, you did mention that, but I meant more the traditional balls-of-the-feet that get’s called “on toes”; I’m not a ballerina.
By the by, my grandmother mother wore high heels so consistently that when she answered the door without them on, she walked on her toes (balls of her feet) like a velociraptor.
