Random musings with an aviation flavor, natch.

Recalling (kinesthetic) memory

When I was first reflecting upon the joy of getting aviation, and then yoga, back to the forefront of my life over the past two weeks, I thought about this reactivation of stored skills and knowledge more from the INTELLECTUAL memory side of things.

But then this weekend I've gotten back into running/walking the SC track, and realized that all 3 of these joyful, disciplined things I've finally been able to get back into are very much part of KINESTHETIC/PHYSICAL memory! Hence the post title.

It is a true joy to find one can bring back skills and knowledge and polish them up and get them shiny again! Awesome that humans can store skills for quite some time.

Yoga and running came back to me a bit more easily than I feared, as did the flying, per earlier post.

Time of course to re-vow not to let any of these skills get so stored, but keep 'em active! (Now that I'm done w/ the dang contin. appt/tenure dossier compilation, Illinois family/friends visits there and here, and getting quite sick from the stress!)

Blue Skies!
